THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240304889 titled 'THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The thermal management system described in the patent application includes a power storage device, a drive device, a radiator, a chiller, and a switching device. The switching device is designed to control the flow of the heat transfer medium based on temperature differences within the power storage device.
- The power storage device exchanges heat with the heat medium through a first flow path.
- The drive device exchanges heat with the heat medium through a second flow path.
- The radiator is located in a third flow path.
- The chiller is located in a fourth flow path.
- The switching device separates the second flow path from the other flow paths when the temperature difference in the power storage device reaches a threshold value.
- The switching device then creates a circuit where the heat transfer medium flows through at least the first and fourth flow paths.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Renewable energy systems - Industrial machinery
Problems Solved: - Efficient thermal management in power storage systems - Temperature control in high-performance devices
Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency - Enhanced performance and reliability - Extended lifespan of components
