    摘要: A system includes a battery pack having a first sub-pack and a second sub-pack, the first sub-pack having a first cell group and a second cell group, and the second sub-pack having a third cell group. A cooling system supplies a liquid coolant to a heat exchanger that is in thermal communication with the battery pack. A first section, a second section, and a third section of the heat exchanger are arranged sequentially in a flow direction of the liquid coolant between the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet, with the first section of positioned adjacent to the first cell group of the first sub-pack, the second section positioned adjacent to the third cell group of the second sub-pack, and the third section positioned adjacent to the second cell group of the first sub-pack.

    摘要: The patent discloses a thermal management system and a valve thereof. The valve comprises a valve house and a valve core that can be rotatably mounted in the valve house. A plurality of inner valve ports and a plurality of outer valve ports are defined in an axial end of the valve house. The inner valve ports and the outer valve ports are arranged at intervals along the circumference of valve house. the valve core defines a plurality of inner flow channels and a plurality of outer flow channels extending through one of axial ends of the valve core. the inner flow channels are located at a radial inner side of the outer flow channels and are not in communication with each other inside the valve core. The inner flow channels are corresponding to the inner valve ports. The outer flow channels are corresponding to the outer valve ports. In response to the valve core rotating to different positions relative to the valve house, the inner flow channels selectively communicate with different inner valve ports, and the outer flow channel selectively communicate with different outer valve ports.

    摘要: To provide a fast charger and a fast charging method that are highly efficient in fast charging of a solid-state battery.
    A fast charger includes a charging section, a temperature acquisition section, and a controller. The charging section feeds current to a solid-state battery being a secondary battery. The temperature acquisition section acquires a temperature of the solid-state battery. The controller performs control to cool the solid-state battery if the temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition section is greater than or equal to a predetermined temperature.
    The controller determines a plurality of inflection points on a curve representing changes in the temperature of the solid-state battery against internal resistance of the solid-state battery. The predetermined temperature corresponds to an inflection point on a high-temperature side among the plurality of inflection points.

    摘要: In a coolant circulation system of a vehicle, a connecting unit is connected to a coolant line of a vehicle circulating through a battery of the vehicle. When connected to the coolant line, the connecting unit allows coolant to be discharged from the vehicle or be introduced into the coolant line. A supply unit includes a cooling tank in which the coolant is stored or circulates and a heating tank. The cooling tank includes an evaporation core, and the heating tank includes a condensing core. The evaporation core and the condensing core are connected to the coolant line on which a compressor, an expansion valve, and an external condenser are provided. When the connecting unit is connected to the coolant line, the supply unit is configured to supply the coolant from the cooling tank or the heating tank to the coolant line of the vehicle, cooling or heating the battery.
