Abstract: A cooling apparatus includes: a cooling circuit that includes three flow passages intersecting at an intersection point and allows a cooling liquid to circulate therethrough; a three-way valve that is disposed at the intersection point and is switchable such that any two of the three flow passages communicate with each other; and a controller that controls switching of the three-way valve. The controller includes an intermediate fixation determination unit. The intermediate fixation determination unit determines that the three-way valve is in an intermediate fixation state in which the three flow passages simultaneously communicate with one another, when a cooling liquid temperature difference between one of the two flow passages that are controlled to communicate with each other, and a remaining flow passage of the three flow passages that is not controlled to communicate, is smaller than a predetermined value.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus 1 includes: a cooling circuit 100 that includes three flow passages intersecting at an intersection point and allows a cooling liquid to circulate therethrough; a three-way valve 8 that is disposed at the intersection point and is switchable such that any two of the three flow passages communicate with each other; and a controller 9 that controls switching of the three-way valve 8. The controller includes an intermediate fixation determination unit. The intermediate fixation determination unit determines that the three-way valve is in an intermediate fixation state in which the three flow passages simultaneously communicate one another, when a cooling liquid temperature difference between one of the two flow passages that are controlled to communicate with each other, and a remaining flow passage of the three flow passages that is not controlled to communicate, is smaller than a predetermined value.

Abstract: A power control apparatus is mounted on an electrically driven vehicle which includes an electrical storage device configured by connecting a plurality of batteries in parallel, a voltage detection unit which detects a voltage of each battery, and a load, and the power control apparatus includes, a voltage deviation calculation unit which is connected to the electrical storage device, and calculates voltage deviation between the plurality of batteries based on the voltage detected by each voltage detection unit at the time of driving the load which is driven by power supply from the electrical storage device, a comparator which compares the voltage deviation calculated by the voltage deviation calculation unit and a first predetermined threshold, and a cutoff detection unit which detects a presence or absence of the battery, which comes into a cutoff state in the electrical storage device, when the voltage deviation is equal to or more than the first threshold in a comparison result by the comparator.
