THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300290 titled 'THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The abstract describes a thermal management system with multiple flow paths and devices for exchanging heat with a heat medium. A switching device allows for switching between flow paths to provide a heating circuit.
- The thermal management system includes four flow paths for heat exchange.
- An electrical storage device exchanges heat in the first flow path.
- A drive device exchanges heat in the second flow path.
- A radiator is located in the third flow path.
- A chiller device is located in the fourth flow path.
- A switching device enables switching between flow paths to create a heating circuit.
- The heating circuit connects the first, third, and fourth flow paths while disconnecting the second flow path.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for electric vehicles - Industrial machinery for cooling systems - Renewable energy systems for heat management
