Publication number: 20240140161Abstract: A thermal management system for an electric vehicle having a drivetrain flow path coupling one or more motors and one or more inverters to an aerodynamic heat exchanger comprising one or more body panels disposed along an outer surface of the vehicle, the aerodynamic heat exchanger having one or more fluidic chambers or micro-channels. The drive flow path is decoupled from the vehicle's chiller and/or refrigeration cycle under all operating conditions. The drivetrain may be further characterized by the one or more motors being disposed proximate one or more wheels of the vehicle, such as within the wheel skirt or cowling, to capitalize on passive or free cooling via ambient airflow about the wheel. The thermal management system may further include a refrigeration cycle wherein the cabin and the battery pack are provided cooling in a parallel configuration or in a serial configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: APTERA MOTORS CORP.Inventors: Daniel MORRIS, Steve FAMBRO, Eric BYERS, Chris ANTHONY, Jason HILL, John KLOPP, III

Publication number: 20240100905Abstract: An electric vehicle having a heat exchanger formed in an aerodynamic airfoil shape comprising one or more body panels disposed along an outer surface of the vehicle having one or more fluidic chambers or micro-channels. The heat exchanger is adapted to provide effective and highly efficient heat transfer, and also to provide substantially reduced or negligible contribution to the aerodynamic drag. The heat exchanger includes a supplemental heat exchange system wherein at least a portion of the heat exchange capacity is provided by an inner heat exchange surface of the heat exchanger exposed to an interstitial space within the vehicle. Airflow is forced, via a fan for example, from an aerodynamically-efficient inlet, over the inner heat exchange surface, and exhausted through an aerodynamically-efficient outlet, thereby providing a supplemental heat exchange system including substantially reduced or negligible contribution to the aerodynamic drag.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: APTERA MOTORS CORP.Inventors: Daniel MORRIS, Steve FAMBRO, Eric BYERS, Chris ANTHONY, Jason HILL, John KLOPP, III

Patent number: 11320553Abstract: A method is described for assessing subsurface structure uncertainty based on at least one subsurface horizon. The method calculates seismic continuity attributes to determine a mappability of the subsurface horizon(s); determines horizontal uncertainty for each fault in vertical uncertainty for each horizon; generates probabilistic scenarios for a subsurface geometry for at least one conceptual model; and generates a map of geological model uncertainty based on the probabilistic scenarios. In some embodiments, the probabilistic scenarios are stochastic simulations. In some embodiments, generating a map of geological model uncertainty is based on information entropy. The method may be executed by a computer system.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Chevron U.S.A. Inc.Inventors: Kellen Leigh Gunderson, Chris Anthony Guzofski
