The present disclosure provides minimum-boiling, homogeneous azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions of 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylcyclobutane (TFMCB) with each of ethanol, n-pentane, cyclopentane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone).

The use of compositions comprising 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethyl cyclobutane (TFMCB) as a solvent are disclosed, wherein the TFMCB may be formulated into solvent compositions including a co-solvent such as ethanol or trans-dichloroethylene (trans-DCE). The solvent compositions may be in the form of a sprayable aerosol composition, and may be used for applications including degreasing or removal of coatings such as paints and adhesives.

A heat transfer fluid including 1-trifluoromethyl-1,2,2-trifluorocyclobutane (TFMCB) for high temperature heat transfer applications and environmental and safety requirements, which is non-flammable (and has no flash point below 100 F.), has low toxicity, an ODP of <0.01 and a GWP of 44, is dielectric and electrically stable.

A temperature control system to be installed in an electric vehicle includes a water circuit, a coolant circuit, a radiator, a heat exchanger, a water pump, and a controller. The water circuit circulates cooling water to cool an electric device. The coolant circuit circulates a coolant to control a temperature of a cabin or battery of the electric vehicle. The radiator is disposed in the water circuit. The heat exchanger is disposed in the coolant circuit and receives heat released from the radiator through cooling air delivered from the radiator. The water pump regulates a flow rate of the cooling water circulating in the water circuit. The controller increases the number of rotations of the water pump to a greater value in a condition where an increase in temperature of the cabin or the battery is requested than in a normal condition where the increase in temperature is not requested.

A power electronics module includes an electrically-conductive substrate including a base portion defining a plurality of orifices that extend through the base portion, the plurality of orifices defining a plurality of jet paths extending along and outward from the plurality of orifices, and a plurality of posts extending outward from the base portion, where individual posts of the plurality of posts are positioned between individual orifices of the plurality of orifices, and a power electronics device coupled to the plurality of posts opposite the base portion, the power electronics device defining a bottom surface that is oriented transverse to the plurality of jet paths.

A cold plate and method for manufacturing the cold plate for cooling an electronic component includes a monolithic body comprising a housing having an exterior and defining an interior, a cooling passage disposed within the interior comprising at least one inlet and at least one outlet wherein the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet are disposed on the exterior, and a connecting conduit extending between the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet, and at least one plenum chamber and a phase change material located within the at least one plenum chamber.

A control device (SG) for a vehicle is proposed, which contains at least one electronic component (GPU). Furthermore, there is at least one fan (F1), and one air channel (LK), which enables air to flow (LS) from a first side of the at least one electronic component (GPU) to the first fan (F1), wherein the air flow (LS) then flows past a second side of the at least one electronic component (GPU) after passing through the first fan.

The present disclosure provides a refrigeration system comprising a receiver for use in applications where environmentally-friendly, typically flammable refrigerants are used. The receiver is sized so that it allows for the maximum amount of refrigerant to be used when regulatory concerns restrict the total amount. The present disclosure also provides a method for selecting the size of the receiver.

A device has an electronics housing and a tube cooler with a tube formed in one piece from a single material. The tube has a tube coil and a first tube portion, between which the electronics housing is arranged, and a first connecting portion. The first connecting portion fluidically connects the first tube portion to a first side of the tube coil. The first tube portion is connectable to a coolant supply and arranged laterally offset with respect to the tube coil. The tube coil and the first tube portion extend on a common side of the first connecting portion. The first connecting portion is inclined with respect to the tube coil and to the first tube portion and/or is curved from the tube coil to the first tube portion.

The present invention relates to a system for cooling a vehicle electric component including: a compressor compressing a refrigerant; a condenser connected to the compressor to condense the refrigerant supplied from the compressor and formed to surround an outer periphery of the compressor; an expansion means connected to the condenser to expand the refrigerant supplied from the condenser; an evaporator connected to the expansion means and the compressor to evaporate the refrigerant supplied from the expansion means by a heat exchange and then introduce the evaporated refrigerant into the compressor; and a blower fan disposed on one side or the other side of the condenser which is opened, wherein the system for cooling a vehicle electric component may effectively cool electric components such as a variety of sensors and computers of an autonomous vehicle and may secure a sufficient cooling performance by using a vapor compression system.
