摘要:
A vehicle energy management system relying on the principle of reallocation of existing resources provided by the vehicle manufacture. Engine belt or engine direct driven components are replaced with electrical motors. Since replacement of the main fan unit would involve a prohibitively large fan due to starting currents, the larger component that would have multiple cooling purposes is replaced with smaller single function electrical components. The larger multipurpose heat exchangers such as the vehicle radiator are replaced with smaller single function heat exchangers associated with the smaller electric fans. The energy management system may involve a main vehicle engine crankshaft mounted generator. This simple generator creates high voltage DC electricity that may be converted to household level AC for the operation of customer application equipment. In one embodiment, the converter is a closed loop converter that makes the conversion of DC to AC alternatively turning on and off at a varying frequency in order to produce a time averaged AC output.

A malfunction of a thermostat in a coolant circulating path is detected from an engine side coolant temperature in consideration of the following behavior of the coolant temperature. When an open-malfunction occurs, the coolant temperature becomes different considerably from that in the normal time in the temperature range in which the thermostat is to be normally closed. When a closure-malfunction occurs, the coolant temperature becomes different considerably from that during the normal time in the temperature range in which the thermostat is to be normally opened. Alternatively, the malfunction may be detected from a difference between the engine side coolant temperature and a radiator side coolant temperature.

摘要:
The control of the coolant flow is accomplished through valving or by adjusting the pumping speed of a water pump and a water motor, or a combination of all three elements. During normal operation, where engine cooling is not required, the speed control coupling maintains a slow and constant water pump speed at all engine-operating speeds. The valve is maintained to stop coolant flow from entering the radiator while allowing coolant to flow through a heater. If engine cooling is required, the valve is actuated such that coolant is circulated to the engine and through the radiator. If air conditioning is required, the speed control coupling simply increases the water pump speed and the fan speed while the valve is set to bypass coolant flow to the engine. If air conditioning and engine cooling are required, the valve is actuated to allow coolant flow to the engine.
摘要:
A controller of a cooling fan cools a radiator of a vehicle driving system cooling water and a condenser incorporated in a refrigeration cycle of a vehicle air conditioning system. When a high-pressure side refrigerant pressure of the refrigeration cycle is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the controller drives the cooling fan irrespective of operation/non-operation state of the vehicle air conditioning system.
摘要:
A double heat exchanger for a vehicle air conditioner has a first radiator for cooling engine coolant, a second radiator for cooling electronic-parts coolant for cooling electronic parts of the vehicle and a condenser disposed at an upstream air side of the first and second radiators. The condenser has a condenser core and a cooler through which refrigerant discharged from the condenser core flows. The second radiator is disposed opposite the cooler so that air having passed through the cooler passes through the second radiator. Therefore, a difference between a temperature of air passing through the second radiator and a temperature of electronic-parts coolant flowing through the second radiator is increased, and electronic-parts coolant is sufficiently cooled. As a result, the electronic parts are sufficiently cooled without increasing a size of the second radiator.
摘要:
A heat exchanger unit includes a first heat exchanger for flowing internal fluid therein and cooling the internal fluid, and a second heat exchanger disposed downstream of the internal fluid from the first heat exchanger. The first and second heat exchangers are made of first and second materials, respectively. The first material is different from the second material. Each material composing each heat exchanger can be selected individually according to each temperature of the internal fluid flowing into each heat exchanger. Therefore, the heat resistance of the heat exchanger unit is improved without increasing the manufacturing cost.

This temperature regulation apparatus comprises a heat pump (12) comprising a main compression circuit (14) for a refrigerant fluid taking heat from a cold source (16) and transferring it to a hot source (18). The cold source (16) comprises a first heat exchanger (24) for exchanging heat between the refrigerant fluid and a coolant liquid thermally coupling the main refrigerant circuit (14) to a first secondary coolant circuit (26) capable of being selectively connected to an nulloutsidenull heat exchanger (30) and to a nullcoldnull heat exchanger (32). The hot source (18) comprises a second heat exchanger (34) for exchanging heat between the refrigerant fluid and a coolant liquid thermally coupling the main refrigerant circuit (14) to a second secondary coolant circuit (36) capable of being selectively connected to at least the outside heat exchanger (30) and to a nullhotnull heat exchanger (39). The invention is applicable in particular to air conditioning a motor vehicle cabin and/or to regulating the temperature of a part of said vehicle.
摘要:
A water-cooled type engine cooling apparatus includes: an oil cooler that circulates cooling water flowing out of a water-cooled type engine; a water temperature detection unit that detects temperature of the cooling water; a switching unit that switches the oil cooler from an operating state to a halt state, and vice versa; and a switching control unit that controls switching of the switching unit. The switching control unit controls the switching unit to switch the oil cooler into the halt state when the temperature detected by the water temperature detection unit is lower than a preset temperature, and controls the switching unit to switch the oil cooler into the operating state when the temperature detected by the water temperature detection unit is not lower than the preset temperature.
