  • Systems and methods for engine pre-chamber coolant flow
    Patent number: 11092063
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a pre-chamber. In one example, a system comprises flowing a mixture of coolants to a coolant chamber of the pre-chamber. Additionally or alternatively, only one coolant may be directed to the coolant chamber during some conditions.

  • Method and system of predicting recharging of battery of vehicle at charging station and correspondent pre-cooling of the battery using cold storage as the vehicle is being driven to the charging station
    Patent number: 11043834
    Abstract: A method and system for an electric vehicle include a controller and a battery cooling system. The controller automatically detects when the vehicle is being driven to a charging station. The controller controls the battery cooling system to pre-cool a traction battery of the vehicle as the vehicle is being driven to the charging station so that the traction battery is cooled to a target temperature upon the vehicle reaching the charging station. The battery cooling system includes a phase change material (PCM) surrounding at least a portion of the traction battery. The traction battery is pre-cooled by circulating refrigerant coolant to the PCM to cool the PCM and thereby pre-cool the traction battery.
