Title:
HIGH-VOLTAGE EQUIPEMENT COOLING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC-POWERED VEHICLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/158992
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a high-voltage equipment cooling system (10) for electric-powered vehicles, which is capable of sufficiently cooling a DC/DC converter (58) as well as a battery (56). The high-voltage equipment cooling system (10) is equipped with: a battery assessment unit (94) which assesses a battery cooling method suitable for cooling the battery (56) on the basis of the temperature or the amount of heat generated by the battery (56); a DC/DC assessment unit (96) which assesses a DC/DC cooling method suitable for cooling the DC/DC converter (58) on the basis of the temperature of the DC/DC converter (58); a determination unit (100) which determines a final cooling method on the basis of the results assessed by the battery assessment unit (94) and the results assessed by the DC/DC assessment unit (96); and a control unit (110) which controls an IPU fan (50) on the basis of the final cooling method determined by the determination unit (100).
