Application: Thermal management system for fuel cell electric vehicle (Patent ID: US20240213582A1)
The patent filed by Kia Corp describes a thermal management system for a fuel cell electric vehicle that includes various cooling and heating components to regulate the temperature of different systems within the vehicle. The system comprises stack cooling, electrical component cooling, battery cooling, and heating apparatus, all interconnected through various lines and heat-exchangers. The system also includes a chiller connected to an air conditioner unit to adjust the temperature of the coolant by exchanging heat with a refrigerant. Additionally, the system features a complex arrangement of valves, condensers, and expansion valves to control the flow of coolants and refrigerants throughout the system.
Furthermore, the patent outlines different heating modes for the vehicle interior, including modes that recollect waste heat from the fuel cell stack and battery. The system is designed to selectively heat-exchange coolants to maintain optimal temperatures for the various components, such as the battery and electrical systems. The inclusion of a battery heater and the ability to divert coolant flow to prevent overheating demonstrate the system's advanced thermal management capabilities. Overall, the patent details a sophisticated system that efficiently regulates the temperature of critical components in a fuel cell electric vehicle to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
