CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300283 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD
The patent application describes a control device for managing the temperature of a battery cell in a battery system.
- The device includes an acquiring part to measure the battery cell temperature, an identifying part to determine the charge amount of the battery, and a cooling control part to initiate cooling based on the charge amount.
- The cooling control part activates an electric compressor to cool the cooling water with a secondary refrigerant when the battery cell temperature exceeds the predetermined cooling-onset temperature.
- The cooling-onset temperature is adjusted based on the charge amount identified by the identifying part, with a higher temperature set for higher charge amounts.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle battery management systems - Energy storage systems - Portable electronic devices with rechargeable batteries
Problems Solved: - Preventing overheating and damage to battery cells - Optimizing cooling efficiency based on charge levels
Benefits: - Prolongs battery life - Improves overall battery performance - Enhances safety of battery systems
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Battery Cooling System for Electric Vehicles This technology can be utilized in electric vehicles to enhance battery efficiency and longevity, making them more reliable and cost-effective in the long run.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the cooling control part determine the cooling-onset temperature for the battery cell? The cooling control part determines the cooling-onset temperature based on the charge amount identified by the identifying part. 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the electric vehicle industry? This technology could significantly improve the performance and lifespan of electric vehicle batteries, leading to more sustainable and efficient transportation solutions.
Original Abstract Submitted
a control device includes: an acquiring part that acquires a temperature of a battery cell of the battery; an identifying part that identifies a charge amount of the battery; and a cooling control part that determines a cooling-onset battery cell temperature on the basis of the charge amount identified by the identifying part, and operates an electric compressor to begin cooling the cooling water with the secondary refrigerant on condition that the temperature acquired by the acquiring part is higher than the determined, cooling-onset battery cell temperature. when the identifying part identifies a first charge amount, the cooling control part determines a higher cooling-onset battery cell temperature than in a case where the identifying part identifies a second charge amount that is higher than the first charge amount.
