US Patent:
8006626, Aug 30, 2011
Filed:
May 7, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/745137
Inventors:
Ajith Kuttannair Kumar - Erie PA, US
John D. Butine - Erie PA, US
John D. Butine - Erie PA, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
B61C 5/02
US Classification:
105 49, 180 681
Abstract:
A system is provided for cooling an energy storage system of a hybrid electric vehicle. The energy storage system includes at least one energy storage device. The system includes an inlet positioned on the outer surface of the vehicle above the platform. More particularly, the system includes a cooling fluid duct in flow communication with the inlet and the at least one energy storage device. Additionally, the system includes a blower powered by a respective motor and positioned within the to draw cooling fluid into the inlet and through the cooling fluid duct to pass the cooling fluid over or through the at least one energy storage device and into a common vented area of the vehicle.

US Patent:
2011030, Dec 22, 2011
Filed:
Aug 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/219954
Inventors:
Ajith Kuttannair Kumar - Erie PA, US
John D. Butine - Erie PA, US
John D. Butine - Erie PA, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F01P 9/00
US Classification:
165 47
Abstract:
A system includes an interior duct, a blower, a vent coupling, and a secondary duct. The interior duct is fluidly coupled with the inlet and with an energy storage device disposed in a vehicle. The blower draws cooling fluid received through the inlet and through the interior duct to cause a first portion of the cooling fluid to flow over and/or through the energy storage device. The vent coupling directs the first portion of the cooling fluid that flowed over and/or through the energy storage device into a vented area. The secondary duct directs a second portion of the cooling fluid from the interior duct into the vent coupling to mix with the first portion of the cooling fluid after the first portion of the cooling fluid flows over and/or through the energy storage device.
