BATTERY TEMPERATURE REGULATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326545 titled 'BATTERY TEMPERATURE REGULATION DEVICE
The patent application describes a battery temperature regulation device that includes a fill port, a pump, heat exchangers, a solenoid valve, a controller, and heat exchange circuits to regulate the temperature of the battery.
- The device has a fill port in a circuit where coolant circulates, allowing for easy filling of coolant.
- A pump is used to circulate the coolant through the system.
- Multiple heat exchangers are employed to facilitate heat exchange with the battery.
- A solenoid valve is strategically placed in the circuit to control the flow path.
- The controller manages the switching of the flow path to optimize temperature regulation.
- The device includes a first circuit and a second circuit, with the fill port located in either circuit.
- When filling coolant from the fill port, the solenoid valve is used to discharge any remaining air in the circuit.
