Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 A part of the environmental control system 10 for storage batteries of the present invention is shown. The climate control system 10 includes an air intake 12 disposed within a window 14 . figure 2 A portion of a vehicle 16 is shown, including windows 14 and air intakes 12 . The air intake 12 is configured to receive air from the ambient environment outside the vehicle 16 while inhibiting the ingress of water and debris. One such air inlet is described in US Patent Application Serial No. 10 / 605,182, filed September 12, 2003, which is hereby referenced and incorporated herein.

[0028] The environment control system 10 is specifically configured to control the environment around the battery 18, image 3 This environment is schematically represented. Such as figure 1 Ductwork 20 is shown, communicating between the air inlet 12 and the battery 18 . The ductwork 20 includes a first door 22 movable between a first position and a second position ( figure 1 Th...

Abstract

The invention relates to a control system used in vehicle accumulator, wherein said system comprises a gas inlet for receiving external gas; a tube system communicating between the gas inlet and accumulator; said tube system comprises a movable door for accelerating or forbidding the air motion between the gas inlet and the accumulator, a gas outlet for accelerating the air motion between the tube system and the external environment; the fan and the tube system are cooperated to push air, to make it pass the heat exchanger of tube system and pass the accumulator; the control system controls the fan and the first door, and detects if the accumulator needs fresh air or cycle air.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an environment control system and method for a storage battery in a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Many hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have a high-voltage battery to provide power to one or more electrical devices. One or more electrical devices may be operated as electric motors to assist in propelling the vehicle, or one or more electrical devices may be operated such as a generator, which is used to charge the battery. The batteries used in hybrid electric vehicles, for example, need help from cooling systems to keep them from getting too hot. In addition, it may also be desirable to ventilate the environment surrounding the battery. [0003] There are a range of alternatives for cooling and / or ventilating the environment surrounding the battery. For example, air may be drawn from the passenger compartment of the vehicle to cool and / or vent the battery. However, this approach is less than ideal because t...
