  • Publication number: 20230140942
    Abstract: A pressure regulator and a method for regulating the same is for predicting occurrence of dew condensation inside components of a vehicle so that the cause of the occurrence of dew condensation is removed in advance before occurrence of dew condensation. The pressure regulator includes a case in which an opening is provided at one end of the case, an outlet is provided at the other end of the case, and the opening is provided to be inserted into a housing of the component, a fan provided inside the case and a filter provided inside the case, the filter allowing gas to be discharged from the inside of the component to the outside of the component while blocking inflow of moisture from the outside of the component to the inside of the component.

  • Patent number: 11601005
    Abstract: A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) includes: a battery, a hybrid starter generator (HSG) starting an engine, and a controller that identifies a state of charge (SOC) of the battery upon when a reverse gear input is detected, determines whether to charge the battery by the HSG based on the identified SOC of the battery. In particular, the controller controls battery charging in a charging control mode based on a SOC level of the battery when it is determined that the HSG needs to charge the battery.

  • Publication number: 20210328421
    Abstract: A relay temperature measuring device is provided. The device includes a sensor that measures an output of a battery and generates output measurement information and one or more relays that are disposed on a conductive line between the battery and a load. Additionally, a controller compares a relay temperature calculated using both-end measurement power information generated by measuring both ends of a conductor in a vehicle and the output measurement information with a preset temperature reference value, and connects or disconnects the relays based on a comparison result.

  • Patent number: 9007005
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of controlling an inverter to reduce noise in an eco-friendly vehicle. In the method, at least one of a current motor torque and a current motor speed is monitored in real-time. It is determined whether or not the at least one of the current motor torque and the current motor speed corresponds to a noise occurrence range set to a current switching frequency. A changed switching frequency value corresponding to the at least one of the current motor torque and the current motor speed is calculated when the at least one of the current motor torque and the current motor speed corresponds to the noise occurrence range. A PWM signal is generated using the changed switching frequency value to control an inverter.
