System And Method For Cooling A Battery
US Patent:
2008027, Nov 13, 2008
Filed:
May 7, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/745055
Inventors:
Ajith Kuttannair Kumar - Erie PA, US
John D. Butine - Erie PA, US
John D. Butine - Erie PA, US
International Classification:
F25D 17/02, B60K 1/00, H01M 8/04
US Classification:
62118, 180 651, 429 26, 62132, 903900*
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 at least one inner casing configured to encapsulate at least one inner core of at least one respective energy storage device of the energy storage system. Additionally, the system includes at least one outer layer configured to surround the at least one inner casing. The system further includes an inner space positioned between the at least one inner casing and the at least one outer layer, where the inner space is configured to receive cooling fluid through at least one inlet in the outer layer.
System And Method For Cooling A Battery
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.
Thermal Management System And Method
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.
Battery With A Phase-Changing Material
US Patent:
2009016, Jul 2, 2009
Filed:
Dec 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/965035
Inventors:
Ajith Kuttannair KUMAR - Erie PA, US
John D. BUTINE - Erie PA, US
John D. BUTINE - Erie PA, US
International Classification:
H01M 10/50, H01M 10/36
US Classification:
429120, 429149
Abstract:
Batteries containing phase-changing materials are disclosed for improved heating and cooling capabilities so as to minimize unnecessary operating temperature swings, increase heating and cooling uniformity and reduce heating and cooling requirements. The phase changing materials may be disposed on containers located underneath a button sheet, above a plurality of cells, on an inner casing of the battery, and/or on a cooling plate of the battery.
