  • Publication number: 20240006679
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10886090
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10160343
    Abstract: A method for managing a battery located in a motor vehicle includes cooling the battery when a data item indicative of the temperature of the battery exceeds a first threshold, stopping the cooling of the battery when the data item indicative of the temperature of the battery drops below a second threshold, notably lower than the first threshold, and adjusting at least one of the first and second thresholds.

  • Patent number: 9937816
    Abstract: 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.
