  • Thermal control systems for battery charging
    Patent number: 11993162
    Abstract: A thermal control system for use during electric battery charging includes a charging station thermally conditioning a fluid and sending the fluid to a charge inlet. The charge inlet thermally conditions the fluid and sends the fluid to one of a thermal loop or a heat exchanger. Another thermal control system includes a charging station thermally conditioning a fluid and sending the fluid to a charge inlet. The charge inlet thermally conditions the fluid and sends the fluid back to the charging station. In another thermal control system, a thermal loop supplies a fluid at a first temperature to a charge inlet. The charge inlet thermally conditions the fluid to a second temperature and returns the fluid to the thermal loop.
