Patents by Inventor Stefano CAGLIERO

Stefano CAGLIERO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11491848
    Abstract: An air conditioning system for a vehicle, having an evaporator configured for a heat exchange between a coolant and air, a fan configured to generate an air flow passing through the evaporator and intended to be fed into a vehicle passenger compartment, at least one pressure sensor configured to measure the pressure of the coolant, and a control unit to adjust the rotation speed of the fan, configured to automatically decrease the rotation speed of the fan when the detected pressure of the coolant rises above a pressure threshold, so as to reduce the air flow on the evaporator and thus reduce the pressure of the coolant is provided.

  • Publication number: 20220332163
    Abstract: A system has a battery and an air conditioner in a thermal exchange relationship with an interior of a vehicle. A thermal regulation circuit has liquid pass through. The circuit includes an operative tract in a thermal exchange relationship with the battery to control battery temperature. An interior heating tract connects in parallel with the operative tract and in a thermal exchange relationship with the air conditioner. A refrigeration circuit is configured to have fluid pass through that is subjected to a non-reversible refrigeration cycle. The refrigeration circuit includes a condenser and an evaporator, which are in a thermal exchange relationship with a heating tract and a cooling tract of the thermal regulation circuit. The conditioner includes heating and cooling modules in a thermal exchange relationship with the thermal regulation circuit at respectively, the interior heating tract, and the refrigeration circuit at a spill duct connected parallel with the evaporator.

  • Publication number: 20220332164
    Abstract: A system includes a battery, and a thermal regulation circuit configured for having liquid pass through and including an operative tract in a thermal exchange relationship with the battery, to control battery temperature. A refrigeration circuit is configured to have pass through that is subjectable to a non-reversible refrigeration cycle. The refrigeration circuit includes a condenser and an evaporator, which are in thermal exchange relation with a heating tract and a cooling tract of the thermal regulation circuit for thermally interacting with the liquid. A radiator is in a thermal exchange relationship with a thermal stabilization tract of the thermal regulation circuit. A valve assembly configured to have a defrosting configuration, in which the valve assembly defines a closed defrosting path for the liquid between the heating tract and the thermal stabilization tract. A heater is activatable to heat the liquid flowing through the closed defrosting path.

  • Publication number: 20220324292
    Abstract: A system includes an electric battery. A thermal regulation circuit has liquid pass through the circuit and includes an operative tract in thermal exchange relation with the battery to control battery temperature. A refrigeration circuit has fluid pass through that is subjected to a non-reversible refrigeration cycle. The refrigeration circuit includes a condenser in thermal exchange relation with the thermal regulation circuit heating tract. An evaporator is in thermal exchange relation with the cooling tract of the thermal regulation circuit. A thermal regulation circuit valve assembly is selectively configured in a heating configuration and in a cooling configuration. The valve assembly defines, in the thermal regulation circuit between the operative tract and the cooling tract, a closed heating path for the liquid in the heating configuration, and a closed cooling path for the liquid in the cooling configuration.
