THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300383 titled 'THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The abstract describes a thermal management system with multiple flow paths and components such as an electrical storage device, a drive device, a radiator, a chiller device, and a switching device. The switching device controls the flow paths to optimize heat exchange.
- The thermal management system includes four flow paths for heat exchange.
- An electrical storage device exchanges heat with the heat medium in the first flow path.
- A drive device exchanges heat with the heat medium in the second flow path.
- A radiator is located in the third flow path.
- A chiller device is located in the fourth flow path.
- The switching device controls the flow paths to optimize heat exchange efficiency.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for electric vehicles - Industrial machinery for cooling systems - Renewable energy systems for heat management
Problems Solved: - Efficient heat exchange in complex systems - Temperature control in various applications
Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency - Enhanced performance and longevity of components - Cost-effective thermal management solution
