摘要： A method of conserving energy during a heating event wherein a coolant is heated in a cooling system is disclosed. The method includes establishing a first set point temperature for a first point in the cooling system and establishing a second set point temperature lower than the first set point temperature for a second point in the cooling system. Normally, the coolant is maintained at the second set point temperature at the second set point in the cooling system. During the heating event, the second set point temperature is raised to substantially match the first set point temperature to reduce necessary heating of the coolant at the first point.

摘要： A selectable coolant heating system for a fuel cell electric vehicle is disclosed. The selectable coolant heating system includes a maximum heat button which is connected to a coolant heater that heats a vehicle coolant when the maximum heat button is depressed. The coolant heater is maintained in either a de-activated, non-heating “off” mode or a baseline heating mode unless and until it is activated by depression of the maximum heat button, at which time the heater is activated to a heating level mode or to one of multiple, successively-higher heating level modes, respectively. By subsequent depression of the maximum heat button, the non-heating “off” mode of the coolant heater can be resumed in order to conserve energy and improve vehicle fuel economy.

摘要： A flush and fill process is used to ready a fuel cell cooling circuit for initial use. An external flushing system relasably connected to the cooling circuit circulates flushing coolant through the cooling circuit to remove contaminants from the wetted surfaces of the cooling circuit before the fuel cell is put into use. The flushing system includes a pump for circulating the flushing coolant through the cooling circuit, filters for removing contaminants from the coolant and a heater for elevating the temperature of the coolant. Following the flushing process to remove contaminants, the flushing system is disconnected from the cooling circuit and the cooling circuit is filled with fresh coolant.

摘要： Methods and arrangements to dynamically modify the number of processors active in a multi-node data processing system. are contemplated. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to change the portion of BIOS that a processor loads on power-on. In some embodiments, a signal sent over a GPIO pin may flip an address line to the portion of the BIO that a processor loads on power-on. In some embodiments, a service processor may set a GPIO or non-volatile RAM value. The portion of BIOS controlling the powering-up of the processor may read the value and branch depending upon the value. Embodiments also include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to determine the state of a dynamically activated processor. In some embodiments, a processor may read from a local scratch register to determine if it has been dynamically activated. If so, embodiments may then clear the scratch register and put the processor to sleep. Embodiments may then update the tables which describe the resources available to the processor.
