Publication number: 20240006679Abstract: A cooling system of a battery for an electric or hybrid vehicle includes a cooling device and a thermal interface. The cooling device generates a movement of a cooling fluid between an inlet point and an outlet point in a cooling direction. The thermal interface has a first surface at least substantially in contact with the cooling device and a second surface, referred to as the heat-exchange surface, opposite the first surface, intended to be placed in contact with or near a battery. The size of the heat-exchange surface in a secondary direction, perpendicular to the cooling direction of the cooling system, increases in the cooling direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2021Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: RENAULT S.A.SInventors: Philippe RECOUVREUR, Christophe ROBIN

Patent number: 10886090Abstract: A method is for protecting an electrical architecture including a protective device provided with a protective fuse capable of melting in a deteriorated mode of operation during which a breaking current having an amperage greater than a threshold is flowing through the architecture. The method includes, in a nominal mode of operation, periodically estimating a temperature of the fuse and controlling an amperage of a useful current flowing through the fuse such that the estimated temperature remains below a melting temperature of the fuse.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: RENAULT s.a.s.Inventors: Caroline Marchal, Philippe Recouvreur

Patent number: 9937816Abstract: A method for managing the temperature of a battery of an electric or hybrid vehicle includes recording a temperature value at which the cooling or heating of the battery is triggered. The method further includes, for two consecutive values in a predefined sequence of states of charge: a step of comparing a real gradient to a reference gradient of the battery temperature; and a step of modifying, depending on the comparison, the value of the trigger temperature, or the value of the power output by cooling or heating the battery; and also includes applying the modified trigger temperature or output power for the following two consecutive values of the state of charge of the battery in the predefined sequence.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: RENAULT S.A.SInventors: Caroline Marchal, Philippe Recouvreur
