THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18543243 titled 'THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The thermal management system described in the patent application includes various components such as a power storage device, a drive device, a radiator, a chiller, and a switching device.

  • The power storage device exchanges heat with a heat medium flowing through a first flow path.
  • The drive device exchanges heat with the heat medium flowing through a second flow path.
  • The radiator is provided in a third flow path.
  • The chiller is provided in the fourth flow path.
  • The switching device is configured to separate the second flow path from the other flow paths when the temperature difference between the high temperature part and the low temperature part of the power storage device is equal to or higher than a threshold value, and makes a circuit in which the heat transfer medium flows through at least the first flow path and the fourth flow path.

Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Renewable energy systems - Industrial machinery - Data centers - HVAC systems

Problems Solved: - Efficient thermal management - Temperature control - Energy storage optimization

Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency - Enhanced performance - Extended lifespan of components - Reduced maintenance costs

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Thermal Management System for Enhanced Energy Efficiency" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as automotive, renewable energy, manufacturing, and building management systems to improve energy efficiency and optimize thermal performance.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the switching device in the thermal management system work to optimize heat transfer? 2. What are the key advantages of using this system in electric vehicles for thermal management?


Original Abstract Submitted

The thermal management system includes a power storage device that exchanges heat with the heat medium flowing through a first flow path, a drive device that exchanges heat with the heat medium flowing through a second flow path, and a radiator provided in a third flow path, a chiller provided in the fourth flow path, and a switching device. The switching device is configured to separate the second flow path from the other flow paths when the temperature difference between the high temperature part and the low temperature part of the power storage device is equal to or higher than a threshold value, and makes a circuit in which the heat transfer medium flows through at least the first flow path and the fourth flow path.
