  • Patent number: 11108102
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a battery coolant for an electric vehicle that has a low conductivity, a low ion elution performance, a low viscosity at a very low temperature, and a cooling performance equivalent to that of an aqueous coolant composition in a driving temperature range. The present disclosure relates to a battery coolant for an electric vehicle containing at least one kind of carbonates selected from the group consisting of propylene carbonate and butylene carbonate in an amount of 90 mass % or more with respect to a total mass of the coolant and water in an amount of 3 mass % or less with respect to the total mass of the coolant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 31, 2021
    Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha

  • Publication number: 20190256757
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a coolant composition comprising acetate as a freezing-point depressant, which has low corrosiveness to metal such as aluminum and hardly deteriorates rubber. The present disclosure provides a coolant composition comprising water and acetate, wherein the coolant composition further comprises: an aliphatic polyol compound; an azole compound; at least one selected from phosphoric acid and a salt thereof; at least one selected from carboxylic acid and a salt thereof in an amount of 0.1% to 10% by weight, with respect to the total amount of the coolant composition; at least one selected from a calcium compound, a magnesium compound, and a strontium compound in an amount of 0.0001% to 0.2% by weight in terms of nitrate, with respect to the total amount of the coolant composition; and at least one selected from tartaric acid and a salt thereof in an amount of 0.001% to 1.0% by weight in terms of tartaric acid, with respect to the total amount of the coolant composition.
