THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18589732 titled 'THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The abstract describes a thermal management system that includes an electrical storage device, a drive device, a radiator, a chiller device, and a switching device. During heating control for the electrical storage device, the switching device is controlled to form a connection flow path between the first flow path and the fourth flow path, while disconnecting the second flow path and the third flow path.
- The thermal management system includes 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 during heating control for the electrical storage device.
- By forming a connection flow path between the first and fourth flow paths, the system efficiently manages heat exchange while keeping the second and third flow paths independent.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for electric vehicles - Renewable energy storage systems - Industrial machinery with high heat generation
Problems Solved: - Efficient heat management in complex systems - Optimal temperature control for sensitive components
Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency - Enhanced performance and longevity of components - Reduced risk of overheating and damage
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Thermal Management System for Enhanced Energy Efficiency" This technology can be applied in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and industrial machinery to improve overall performance and reduce energy consumption.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the switching device optimize heat exchange in the thermal management system? 2. What are the key advantages of using this system in electric vehicles or renewable energy storage?
Original Abstract Submitted
A thermal management system includes: an electrical storage device configured to exchange heat with a first flow path; a drive device configured to exchange heat with a second flow path; a radiator provided on a third flow path; a chiller device provided on a fourth flow path; and a switching device. In the thermal management system, during heating control for the electrical storage device, the switching device are controlled so that a connection flow path connecting the first flow path and the fourth flow path is formed and that the connection flow path, the second flow path, and the third flow path are disconnected from and independent of each other.
