摘要:
A cooling system in a fuel cell electric vehicle comprising a first chamber configured to contain relatively hot fluid and a second chamber configured to contain relatively cold fluid. The ratio of cooling power/fan power of a positive displacement device at a heat exchanger is monitored and thermal energy transfer between coolant and the chambers is controlled based on the ratio. When the ratio is above a pre-defined value or value range, thermal energy from the first chamber is provided to the coolant in the coolant circuit and passed into the heat exchanger, after which part of the thermal energy of cooled coolant leaving the heat exchanger is provided to and stored in the second chamber. The stored cold thermal energy is released from the second chamber when the ratio is below the pre-defined value or value range. The invention also relates to a method of controlling a cooling system.

A cooling system for cooling of a fuel cell assembly, includes a cooling loop for recirculation of a cooling medium, a cooling medium flow line comprising a first cooling medium buffer tank, a first heat exchanger for cooling of the cooling medium, and a second cooling medium buffer tank. The first cooling medium buffer tank is arranged upstream the first heat exchanger so as to allow collection, storing and discharge of cooling medium before it reaches the first heat exchanger. The second cooling medium buffer tank is arranged downstream of the first heat exchanger so as to allow collection, storing and discharge of cooling medium that has passed through and been cooled in the first heat exchanger.

A computer implemented method for controlling energy or power utilization of a battery pack in a rechargeable energy storage system is described. The battery pack is configured to be operated within an operating window defined by its state-of-charge, SOC, according to normal predetermined SOC limits, and extended predetermined SOC limits. The method includes determining a battery pack condition level; comparing the battery pack condition level with a first threshold; providing predicted energy or power utilization of the battery pack; comparing the predicted energy or power utilization with a second threshold. In response of determining that the predicted energy or power utilization is above the second threshold, and that the battery pack condition level is below the first threshold, operating the battery pack within the operating window defined by the extended predetermined SOC limits.

A computer-implemented method determines a degradation state of a turbo and/or a humidifier of a fuel cell system for a vehicle. The fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack, the turbo and the humidifier. The method includes obtaining a fuel cell system efficiency value which corresponds to a measured efficiency decrease of the fuel cell system during use with respect to a first reference efficiency, obtaining a fuel cell stack efficiency value which corresponds to a measured efficiency decrease of the fuel cell stack during use with respect to a second reference efficiency, and determining the degradation state of the turbo and/or the humidifier based on a difference between the fuel cell system efficiency value and the fuel cell stack efficiency value.

The invention relates to a method for controlling the temperature of an NOx controlling component in an exhaust after treatment system of an internal combustion engine. The NOx controlling component has inner surface portions defining an interior component space through which exhaust gases are arranged to flow in order to be NOx controlled, and has outer surface portions facing away from the interior component space. The method comprises the step of: controlling the temperature of at least a portion of the NOx controlling component by a heat transfer medium arranged outside of the outer surface portions. The invention also relates to an exhaust after treatment system and a vehicle with such a system.
