  • Patent number: 9810137
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle cooling circuit for cooling a temperature-increasing device, in particular a battery, by means of a coolant conducted in a coolant circuit, wherein the coolant circuit has a heat exchanger configured as an evaporator via which the coolant circuit is coupled to a cooling medium circuit. In accordance with the present disclosure, the chiller is arranged downstream of the heat exchanger in the direction of flow of the coolant in the coolant circuit. Furthermore a bypass valve is arranged in the coolant line such that the coolant can be conducted fully or partially past the chiller.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 7, 2017

  • Patent number: 8950934
    Abstract: Device for measuring the flash point of liquids and solids includes a measurement chamber (formed by a measurement basin and a lid) and which is provided with means for heating the liquid or the solid in the basin, an electrical igniter having a spark gap, temperature sensors, a pressure measuring apparatus and a press-on device for tightly connecting the measurement basin and the lid. A control device is provided in order to control the heating means, the igniter and the press-on device and to collect the measured values of the temperature sensors and the pressure measuring apparatus. The control device is formed by a computer designed as an embedded system, which is connected to the heating means, the igniter, the press-on device, the temperature sensors and the pressure measuring apparatus by means of an interface device. The measurement chamber and the control device are arranged in a common housing.
