==REFRIGERANT AMOUNT MONITORING AND CHARGING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17898197 titled 'REFRIGERANT AMOUNT MONITORING AND CHARGING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a system and method for monitoring and controlling the refrigerant amount in an electric vehicle's cooling system. The system includes a controller, a battery management module, a high-speed charging gun, an ambient temperature sensor, and a chiller with an electronic expansion valve and an evaporator.

* The high-speed charging gun generates a high-speed charging signal and sends it to the controller during the charging process.
* The ambient temperature sensor measures the surrounding temperature and sends the data to the controller.
* The controller uses the information from the high-speed charging signal and ambient temperature sensor to monitor the refrigerant amount in the cooling system.
* If the monitoring result indicates an insufficient refrigerant amount, the controller adjusts the charging power to prevent the vehicle battery from overheating.
* By controlling the charging power based on the refrigerant amount, the system prevents situations where the battery cannot be properly cooled due to a lack of refrigerant.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Electric vehicle manufacturers can incorporate this system into their vehicles to ensure efficient cooling of the battery during high-speed charging.
* Charging station operators can use this system to prevent overheating of electric vehicle batteries and improve the overall charging experience for customers.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Insufficient refrigerant amount in the cooling system can lead to inadequate cooling of the electric vehicle battery during high-speed charging, potentially causing overheating and damage.
* By monitoring the refrigerant amount and adjusting the charging power accordingly, this system prevents such situations and ensures proper cooling of the battery.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved battery cooling during high-speed charging, leading to increased battery lifespan and performance.
* Enhanced safety by preventing battery overheating and potential damage.
* Optimal charging experience for electric vehicle owners, with efficient and reliable cooling of the battery.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A refrigerant amount monitoring and charging control system for an electric vehicle and a method thereof include: a controller; a battery management module electrically connected to the controller; a high-speed charging gun connected to the vehicle when the vehicle is charged and configured to generate a high-speed charging signal during performing high-speed charging and to send the high-speed charging signal to the controller; an ambient temperature sensor electrically connected to the controller and configured to obtain an ambient temperature and to send the obtained ambient temperature to the controller; and a chiller including an electronic expansion valve and an evaporator. A situation where a vehicle battery is unable to be cooled by a refrigerant due to an insufficient refrigerant amount may be prevented by controlling charging power based on a monitoring result of a current refrigerant amount.
