Cooling systems of a work vehicle that provide targeted cooling, regenerative cooling and/or a combination therein. A cooling system includes plural fans configured to provide airflow across a radiator and a fan controller in communication with the plural fans. The fan controller is configured to receive operating condition data associated with at least one of the radiator and an engine. The fan controller is configured to determine a total target heat rejection value based on the operating condition data; determine a plurality of target fan operation values for the plural fans, based on the total target heat rejection value and the operating condition data; and control operation of the plural fans at plural independent fan speeds based on the plural fan operation values.

COOLING DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND COOLING METHOD OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

A cooling device for an internal combustion engine is provided. The cooling device includes a first passage connected to the internal combustion engine and circulating a coolant, a second passage connected to the internal combustion engine and circulating the coolant, a heat exchanger provided on the first passage and configured such that heat exchange is performed with respect to the coolant, a first pump provided on the first passage, a second pump provided on the second passage and an electronic control unit controlling the first pump and the second pump. The electronic control unit, when a temperature of the coolant is no lower than a predetermined temperature, drives the first pump such that a flow rate of the coolant in the first passage increases as compared to when the temperature of the coolant is lower than the predetermined temperature, and performs first control of stopping the second pump.

20230026974 · 2023-01-26 · ·

An apparatus for handling fluid within an at least partially electrically powered vehicle, with: an apparatus housing including a first housing section and a second housing section. The first housing section and the second housing section are adjacent to each other by a fluidically impermeable contour wall. The contour wall includes a side oriented toward the first housing section and a side oriented toward the second housing section, a first fluid handling element and a second fluid handling element. The first fluid handling element and the second fluid handling element include a first element for generating a controllably variable magnetic field arranged in the first housing section, and a second element movable by the generated magnetic field and arranged in the second housing section. The fluidically impermeable contour wall is continuously configured between the first fluid handling element and the second fluid handling element.

Hybrid vehicle

A hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine and an electric drive, each with a cooling circuit with a heat transfer medium and a cooler. A pre-heating circuit is provided between the cooling circuits and it is thermally coupled to the cooling circuit of the electric drive via heat coupling element as a shared component, for a controlled heat exchange between the heat transfer media of the two cooling circuits. The pre-heating circuit has an electrical auxiliary heater, which is connected to the heat coupling element in series, such that the heat transfer medium of the first cooling circuit likewise flows through the electrical auxiliary heater. The electrical auxiliary heater is arranged and designed such that heat generated by the electrical auxiliary heater can be transferred, where necessary, into at least one of the two cooling circuits.

Apparatus for handling fluid within an at least partially electrically driven vehicle

An apparatus for handling fluid within an at least partially electrically driven vehicle, with a valve device including a valve housing. The valve housing includes at least three two radially arranged port openings and at least one axially arranged port opening for the inflow and/or outflow of fluid, and a valve body which is arranged inside the valve housing and is configured to be rotatable about an axial axis of rotation R. The valve body includes a first connecting channel of arcuate shape for connecting two radially arranged port openings and a second connecting channel of arcuate shape for connecting a radially arranged port opening with an axially arranged port opening. The at least two radially arranged port openings define a base plane B, which is configured orthogonally to the axial axis of rotation R, and the first arcuate connecting channel defines a first connecting channel plane V.
