    摘要: A vehicle includes an engine, a start-stop system configured to stop and restart operation of the engine in response to predetermined triggers, and an auxiliary air conditioning AC system including a controller communicably coupled to the start-stop system. The start-stop system is configured to provide a first indication to the auxiliary AC system indicating ignition of the engine and a second indication to the auxiliary AC system after stopping the engine. The auxiliary AC system is configured to turn off the auxiliary AC system in response to receiving the first indication and restart the auxiliary AC system in response to receiving the second indication.

    摘要: In one or more implementations, an example air heater assembly is described. The air heater assembly includes a frame defining an aperture and an air heater that includes at least one heating element. The frame is configured to receive the air heater. The air heater assembly includes a terminal configured to connect with the at least one heating element. The air heater assembly includes a hard coated bushing configured to receive the terminal, and the hard coated bushing is configured to be received within the aperture to form a seal and to electrically isolate the terminal from the frame.

    摘要: An intake air heating system for a vehicle includes an electrical switching device configured to selectively connect a battery of the vehicle to a heater coil in contact with intake air of the vehicle. The intake air heating system includes a control circuit configured to, in response to an enable signal from an engine controller, drive the electrical switching device to connect the battery to the heater coil at full current. The control circuit is configured to measure a resistance of the heater coil indicative of an initial temperature of the heater coil and, in response to an estimated temperature of the heater coil exceeding a desired temperature value, modulate the electrical switching device to reduce current from the battery of the vehicle to the heater coil.

    摘要: A management system for a charging cable of an electric vehicle charging system includes a mount including a base having a longitudinal axis, a first retainer and a second retainer. The first and second retainers are spaced apart from one another and each include first and second elastically deformable fingers cantilevered from the base. Distal ends of the first and second fingers are spaced apart from the base to define first and second openings positioned transverse relative to the longitudinal axis. The openings are in opposite directions. The management system also includes a strain relief adapted to transfer load from the cable to a structure. A binder clip includes interrupted first and second cylindrical sidewalls. Distal ends of the first sidewall are spaced apart a different distance than distal ends of the second sidewall.

    摘要: A heater control system is disclosed. In an embodiment, the heater control system includes a fluid heater that includes a heating element. The heating element controlled by a switch. The heater control system also includes a controller that can operate the switch. The controller is configured to determine whether a temperature associated with the fluid heater is below a predetermined temperature threshold. The controller causes the switch to transition to an operational state when the temperature is below the predetermined temperature threshold allowing current to flow through the at least one heating element.

    摘要: The auxiliary AC system includes a temperature measurement device configured to generate a variable output based on an air temperature in an environment proximate to the AC system and a compressor control circuit communicably coupled to a variable speed motor. The compressor control circuit is configured to receive the variable output from the temperature measurement device, determine that the output indicates a change in the air temperature, and generate a control signal for the variable speed motor, the control signal including a current having a magnitude depending on the extent of the change to vary a rate at which a compressor pressurizes a refrigerant vapor.

    摘要: A thermostat assembly may include a thermostat, first and second wires, and first and second housings. The first wire may be electrically connected to the thermostat at a first connection interface. The second wire may be electrically connected to the thermostat at a second connection interface. The first housing may encapsulate the thermostat and the first and second connection interfaces to form a moisture barrier around the thermostat and the first and second connection interfaces. The second housing may encapsulate the first housing, the thermostat, and the first and second connection interfaces. Compression seals and/or one or more applications of a bonding agent may provide further redundancies and moisture-contamination barrier effectiveness.
