Publication number: 20220239126Abstract: An outdoor box is designed for keeping at least one battery pack that supplies an electrically driven garden, forestry, construction and/or ground working apparatus with electrical driving power. The outdoor box is configured to receive at least one charger for supplying the battery pack with electrical charging power. The outdoor box has an electrical line for transmission of electrical power to the charger. The outdoor box has an exchange fan for exchange of outside air outside the outdoor box and inside air inside the outdoor box in contact with the battery pack and/or the charger. The outdoor box has a recirculation fan, different from the exchange fan, for recirculating, inside the outdoor box, the inside air, and/or the outdoor box has a further exchange fan for exchange of the outside air and the inside air. The one exchange fan is designed for being supplied with electrical power at least for the most part by an energy source.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Friedhelm KOCH, Joana SCHIERLING, Christian SCHMID-SCHOENBEIN, Simon GABLER

Patent number: 9762073Abstract: A charging device for a battery pack has a housing defining a charging receptacle for accommodating the battery pack. Power electronics are arranged in the housing. A cooling air fan is provided in the housing which draws a suction air flow into the housing via a first air inlet opening and blows the suction air flow out of the housing, as a first cooling air flow via an air outlet opening. A battery air flow flows through the battery pack and enters as a first cooling air flow via the first air inlet opening. A further suction air flow is drawn into the housing from surroundings of the housing via a second air inlet opening formed in the housing. The further suction air flow is formed as a second cooling air flow separate from the battery air flow. The power electronics are situated in a flow path between the second air inlet opening and the cooling air fan. The second cooling air flow, after cooling the power electronics, is supplied to the cooling air fan.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Andreas Stihl AG & Co. KGInventors: Friedhelm Koch, Gernot Liebhard, Thomas Heinrich

Patent number: 8071052Abstract: An assembly for handling a fluid, comprising a valve and a controller. The valve has at least one revolving valve element and a coupling device. The coupling device comprises at least one port coupled to a flow path and is adapted for interacting with said at least one revolving valve element in order to control a fluid flow through said at least one port using a relative valve position between the revolving valve element and the coupling device. The controller is adapted for controlling the relative valve position based on at least one of a current and a previous measurement of an amount of the fluid flow dependent on the relative valve position.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2005Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Martin Baeuerle, Friedhelm Koch, Bodo Schakols
