HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240304900 titled 'HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The abstract describes a heat management system that includes an electrical storage device, a drive unit, a radiator, a chiller, and a switching unit. The switching unit is responsible for isolating different channels to control the flow of heat within the system.
- The system includes an electrical storage device, a drive unit, a radiator, a chiller, and a switching unit.
- The switching unit controls the flow of heat by isolating different channels within the system.
- When the electrical storage device is heated, the switching unit isolates the first channel and redirects the heat medium through the second and third channels.
- The switching unit also directs the heat medium to circulate only through the fourth channel when necessary.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in electric vehicles to manage heat generated by the electrical storage device and drive unit. - It can also be applied in industrial settings where heat management is crucial for equipment performance.
Problems Solved: - Efficient heat management in systems with multiple components. - Prevention of overheating and damage to electrical components.
Benefits: - Improved performance and longevity of electrical storage devices and drive units. - Energy efficiency through optimized heat exchange processes.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Heat Management System for Electric Vehicles and Industrial Equipment" This technology can be commercialized for electric vehicle manufacturers and industrial equipment companies looking to enhance heat management capabilities in their products.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the switching unit control the flow of heat within the system? - The switching unit isolates different channels to redirect the flow of the heat medium based on the heating status of the electrical storage device. 2. What are the potential benefits of implementing this heat management system in electric vehicles? - Implementing this system can improve the performance and longevity of electrical components in electric vehicles, leading to enhanced overall efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
a heat management system includes an electrical storage device configured to exchange heat with a first channel, a drive unit configured to exchange heat with a second channel, a radiator provided in a third channel, a chiller provided in a fourth channel, and a switching unit. the switching unit is configured to, when the electrical storage device is heated, isolate the first channel from the other channels, cause a circuit with which a heat medium circulates through the second channel and the third channel to be formed, and cause a circuit with which the heat medium circulates through only the fourth channel to be formed.
