  • Publication number: 20250215828
    Abstract: A system includes a hydrogen fuel delivery system for an engine that pumps hydrogen from a tank in a liquid state and an evaporator configured to convert at least some of the hydrogen to a gaseous state. The system includes a heat source thermally coupled with the system and fluidly uncoupled from the system. The system is configured to supply the hydrogen to the engine for combustion and cool the heat source using the hydrogen. The system further includes a coolant loop that circulates coolant between the heat source and the evaporator. The coolant loops includes a valve that splits the coolant flowing from the evaporator into a first portion that flows to a heater and a second portion that flows to the heat source. The first and second portions are directed to the evaporator after having passed through the heater and the heat source.

  • Patent number: 12281615
    Abstract: A system includes a hydrogen fuel delivery system for an engine. The hydrogen fuel delivery system includes a pump configured to pump hydrogen from a tank storing the hydrogen in a liquid state through the hydrogen fuel delivery system, and an evaporator configured to convert at least some of the hydrogen in the liquid state to a gaseous state. The system also includes a heat source thermally coupled with the hydrogen fuel delivery system and fluidly uncoupled from the hydrogen fuel delivery system. The hydrogen fuel delivery system is configured to supply the hydrogen to the engine for combustion and cool the heat source using the hydrogen.

  • Publication number: 20250119004
    Abstract: An example electric machine includes a rotor and a stator. The stator includes a stator core defining a longitudinal axis and a plurality of stator end windings extending from the stator core along the longitudinal axis. Adjacent end windings of the plurality of stator end windings define a radial gap, and the radial gap is configured to allow a cooling fluid to flow within the radial gap and in contact with the adjacent stator end windings.

  • Patent number: 12191537
    Abstract: A system includes a flow battery and a temperature control system. The flow battery is configured to thermally manage a thermal load. In some embodiments, the flow battery is also configured to electrically power the thermal load. The temperature control system is configured to cool electrolyte in the flow battery in response to the thermal load being inactive.
