BATTERY COOLING SYSTEM OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17894644 titled 'BATTERY COOLING SYSTEM OF VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a battery cooling system for a vehicle. The system includes a battery, a battery chiller, a first pump, a radiator, a second pump, and a switching valve.
- The battery cooling system is designed to regulate the temperature of the vehicle's battery.
- A battery chiller is connected to the battery to cool it down.
- A first pump circulates the refrigerant cooled at the battery chiller to the battery.
- A radiator is connected to or disconnected from the battery.
- A second pump circulates the refrigerant cooled at the radiator to the battery.
- A switching valve is provided to switch between two states: one where the refrigerant inlet and outlet of the battery are connected to the radiator, and another where the battery is disconnected from the radiator and only the refrigerant cooled at the battery chiller is circulated to the battery.
Potential Applications
- Electric vehicles
- Hybrid vehicles
- Battery-powered machinery and equipment
Problems Solved
- Overheating of vehicle batteries
- Ensuring optimal battery performance and lifespan
- Preventing damage to the battery due to excessive heat
Benefits
- Efficient cooling of the battery
- Flexibility in switching between different cooling modes
- Improved battery performance and longevity
- Enhanced safety by preventing battery overheating.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a battery cooling system of a vehicle, the battery cooling system including: a battery, a battery chiller connected to the battery, a first pump mounted such that a refrigerant cooled at the battery chiller is circulated to the battery, a radiator mounted such that the radiator is connected to or disconnected from the battery, a second pump mounted such that the refrigerant cooled at the radiator is circulated to the battery, and a switching valve provided to switch a state in which a refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet of the battery are respectively connected to a refrigerant outlet and a refrigerant inlet of the radiator, and a state in which the battery is disconnected from the radiator and only the refrigerant cooled at the battery chiller is circulated to the battery.
