Assignee:
Cobasys, LLC - Orion MI
International Classification:
H01H 47/00, H01H 47/26
US Classification:
361160, 361161
Abstract:
A battery control module for a battery system includes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) module that generates N PWM signals. The battery control module also includes a contactor control module that consecutively applies the N PWM signals to close a contactor in order to connect a battery to a load. Application of a first one of the N PWM signals moves the contactor at a first velocity from an open position and application of a second one of the N PWM signals moves the contactor at a second velocity to a closed position. The first velocity is less than the second velocity. N is an integer greater than one.
Battery Pack Condensation Prevention
US Patent:
2014004, Feb 13, 2014
Filed:
Nov 12, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/674416
Inventors:
Carlton D. Brown - Royal Oak MI, US
Assignee:
COBASYS, LLC - Orion MI
International Classification:
B60L 3/00
US Classification:
701 22
Abstract:
A battery control system for an electric vehicle including a battery pack includes a dew point calculation module that receives at least a first signal indicative of humidity within the battery pack and a second signal indicative of temperature within the battery pack, and that calculates a dew point within the battery pack based on the humidity and the temperature. A coolant system control module receives the dew point and a requested coolant temperature, sets a desired coolant temperature based on the dew point and the requested coolant temperature, and selectively operates a coolant system of the battery pack based on the desired coolant temperature.
