  • Electric vehicle fast charging and battery cooling system using a charger cooled fluid-to-battery cooled fluid heat exchange device
    Patent number: 11590855
    Abstract: A vehicle battery charging system includes a battery charger for charging a battery module of a vehicle. A first coolant circuit conveys a first cooling fluid therethrough. The first coolant circuit includes a chiller unit separate from the vehicle. The chiller unit and the first cooling fluid exchange heat therebetween. A second coolant circuit conveys a second cooling fluid therethrough. The second coolant circuit includes a battery module. The battery module and the second cooling fluid exchange heat therebetween. A heat exchanger exchanges heat between the first cooling fluid and the second cooling fluid.
