Enclosed herein is an electric motor vehicle cooling system that cycles liquid coolant from an electric motor vehicle charging station into an electric motor vehicle and back, to cool batteries of the electric motor vehicle during charging. The liquid coolant is pumped by a pump in the electric motor vehicle charging station through channels in a cable that is plugged into the electric motor vehicle. The cable has an adaptor with ports to allow the liquid coolant to exit the electric motor vehicle charging station, travel into the electric motor vehicle to cool the batteries, and return back into the electric motor vehicle charging station from the electric motor vehicle. This electric motor vehicle cooling system allows the electric motor vehicle charging station to perform most of the work of cooling the batteries of the electric motor vehicle, without overly taxing on-board thermal management systems of the electric motor vehicle.

An electric motor vehicle cooling system is described that cycles liquid coolant from a charging station into the vehicle and back, to cool the batteries during charging. The liquid coolant is pumped by a pump in the charging station through channels in the cable that is plugged into the vehicle. The cable has an adaptor with ports to allow the coolant to exit the charging station, travel into the vehicle to cool the batteries, and return back into the charging station from the vehicle. The charging station cools the coolant using a chiller. This cooling system allows the charging station to perform most of the work of cooling the vehicle batteries, without overly taxing the vehicle's on-board thermal management systems.

A valve assembly structured to reduce the volume of water along a path of fluid flow of a water supply line, including a valve body having a stabilizing chamber, a receiving chamber, and a valve member disposed therein. The valve member is disposable between an open orientation and a closed orientation relative to fluid flow between the stabilizing and receiving chambers. A biasing structure is disposed to normally bias said valve member into the closed orientation and is configured to exert a predetermined biasing force on said valve member. A transfer passage is disposed in fluid communication with and between the stabilizing and receiving chambers and is configured to define and direct a decreased volume of fluid flow, at an increased water pressure, on said valve member, wherein the increased water pressure is greater than the predetermined biasing force and sufficient to dispose the valve member in the open orientation.

A method for delaying the maximum rate of discharge of water from a stormwater retention basin includes varying the vertical distance of an intake opening from the waterline inversely with water depth. A flow control device for carrying out the method includes an intake pipe with an intake opening that is pivotally mounted to a float body, the pivot being spaced from the intake opening.
