  • Publication number: 20240254911
    Abstract: A cooling device of a vehicle is provided, which includes a transmission, a first coolant circuit where a first coolant which cools the internal combustion engine circulates, a second coolant circuit independent from the first coolant circuit, where a second coolant which cools the electric drive system circulates, and a fluid circuit where fluid which lubricates and cools friction engagement elements in the transmission circulates. The fluid circuit includes a first heat exchanger which exchanges heat between the fluid and the first coolant, a second heat exchanger in-series with the first heat exchanger which exchanges heat between the fluid and the second coolant, a first adjuster which changes a flow rate of the fluid passing through the first heat exchanger, and a second adjuster which changes a flow rate of the fluid passing through the second heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20030161935
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high liquid oil margarine wherein the total fat content of said high liquid oil margarine is made up of about 95% liquid oil and a maximum of about 5% added hard fat and processes for preparing such margarines. The processes of the invention comprise both batch and continuous processes applied to the preparation of an oil-in-water-in-oil emulsion by mixing a first oil-in-water emulsion with a second oil-in-water emulsion, at a temperature above the crystallization temperature of the added hard fat, wherein said first oil-in-water emulsion may comprise about 55%-80% of the total liquid oil and said second oil-in-water emulsion may comprise about 20%-45% of the total liquid oil and essentially all of the added hard fat, reducing said temperature until a phase transition occurs, and supercooling and mixing to obtain a high liquid oil margarine.
