  • Publication number: 20220340010
    Abstract: A temperature-control device of an energy store, e.g., in a motor vehicle, is disclosed. The temperature-control device includes a first circuit, in which a first heat transfer unit and the energy store to be temperature-controlled are arranged and connected to one another in a heat-transferring manner via a first heat transfer medium, and a second circuit, in which a second heat transfer unit and the first heat transfer unit are arranged and connected to one another in a heat-transferring manner via a second heat transfer medium. In at least one line of the first circuit and/or at least one line of the second circuit a predetermined breaking point and/or a predetermined bending point is arranged which upon a predefined force effect interrupts a flow of fluid therethrough.

  • Publication number: 20220294043
    Abstract: A housing for an energy storage device of a vehicle may include a main housing and a temperature control plate. The main housing may form a housing interior for a plurality of energy storage cells of the energy storage device. A temperature control fluid may flow through the temperature control plate for the temperature control of the plurality of energy storage cells. The main housing and the temperature control plate may be configured such that the temperature control plate can be inserted into the housing interior in an insertion direction. In an inserted configuration, the temperature control plate may form a positive connection with the main housing which may prevent displacement of the temperature control plate in the main housing transversely to the insertion direction.

  • Publication number: 20220020281
    Abstract: A computer processing system for optimising a sequence of aircraft at an airport is disclosed. The system comprises a module (201) configured to receive flight plan data associated with a plurality of journeys between an origin and destination wherein each journey is associated with a different aircraft and wherein the flight plan data comprises flight schedule data associated with the plurality of different journeys; a second module (205) coupled to the first module wherein the second module is configured to determine an aircraft taxi time, EXOT, based on the flight plan data; a third module (203) coupled to the first module (201) and the second module (205) wherein the third module (203) is configured to determine a target take-off time, TTOT, associated with each of the plurality of different journeys wherein the target take-off time is determined based on the taxi time, EXOT, and the flight plan data.

  • Patent number: 11020693
    Abstract: A fuel filter for cleaning fuel for an internal combustion engine may include a main filter and a prefilter arranged upstream of the main filter, through which a fuel is successively flowable. The prefilter may include a water separator configured to separate water present in the fuel. The water separator may include a water collection chamber structured and arranged to collect the separated water. The prefilter fluidically connected to the main filter via a conveying device structured and arranged to convey the fuel from the prefilter into the main filter. The conveying device may be configured to provide an excess pressure build up. The fuel filter may also include a suction jet pump fluidically connected to the water collection chamber via which at least one of the fuel and the water is dischargeable from the water collection chamber.
