Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooling arrangement for cooling a temperature-sensitive assembly of a motor vehicle, having a condenser for liquefying at least a partial volume of a cooling medium in a cooling circuit and having an evaporator disposed downstream of the condenser to which the cooling medium can be flow and to which heat from the temperature-sensitive assembly can be supplied.
  • the temperature-sensitive assembly may be, for example, an electric assembly.
  • Temperature-sensitive assemblies of a motor vehicle are those whose functionality can be affected at least temporarily by heating during operation of thee vehicle. Such heating may be a consequence of the operation of the assembly itself, or it may be attributable to an external heat input, for example an input of waste heat of a drive assembly or of solar radiation.
  • electric assemblies such as drive batteries, in particular lithium ion batteries, fuel cells and the like generate heat, wherein an amount of heat generated by the electric assembly depends on the load state of the electric assembly.
  • Lithium ion batteries should however be operated in a temperature range of 20° C. to 30° C., in order to avoid that their lifespan reduces considerably.
  • an evaporator can be arranged at the battery of a cooling plant designed for cooling a passenger cell of the motor vehicle.
  • the electric assembly can be cooled by charging the evaporator with a cooling medium circulating in a cooling circuit of the cooling plant and by supplying heat of the electric assembly to the evaporator.
  • the cooling plant for cooling the passenger cell of the motor vehicle hereby usually has a compressor for compressing the gaseous cooling medium, a condenser for liquefying at least a partial volume of the compressed cooling medium and an expansion member connected upstream of the evaporator for relaxing the compressed cooling medium.
  • a cooling medium circuit separate from the cooling circuit of the cooling plant can be provided for cooling the electric assembly.
  • the cooling medium circuit can contain a brine as cooling medium, in particular a water-glysantine mixture.
  • the cooling medium can be cooled by means of the cooling plant provided for cooling the passenger cell.
  • the cooling medium is cooled by an evaporator, which is arranged in a cooling circuit of the cooling plant for cooling the passenger cell.
  • the cooled cooling medium is supplied to the electric assembly via the separate cooling medium circuit.
  • the cooler for cooling the cooling medium can be arranged in an air-hydraulically and thermally disadvantageous manner in the region of other coolers, for example provided for cooling an engine cooling medium or in a comparatively flow-technical disadvantageous manner in the lower floor region of the motor vehicle.
  • the cooling arrangement for cooling a temperature-sensitive assembly, such as an electric assembly, of a motor vehicle, having a condenser for liquefying at least a partial volume of a cooling medium in a cooling circuit and having an evaporator arranged downstream of the condenser which can be charged with the cooling medium and to which can be supplied heat from the temperature-sensitive assembly.
  • the cooling arrangement has a pump device by which the evaporator can be charged by at least the liquefied partial volume of the cooling medium.
  • the pump device is formed as a liquid pump that is designed for conveying the liquefied partial volume of the cooling medium.
  • a compressor of the cooling circuit is designed for compressing and conveying of gaseous cooling medium, wherein an charging of the compressor with liquid cooling medium affects the functionality of the compressor.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that in particular with temperatures of the ambient air of less than 20° C. of the temperature-sensitive assembly surrounding the motor vehicle can be discharged to the environment with a particularly low energy effort, namely only the energy effort necessary for operating the pump device.
  • the pump device conveys to the evaporator at least the partial volume of the cooling medium liquefied by the condenser, whereby latent heat is withdrawn from the temperature-sensitive assembly, which heat has to be generated for transferring the liquefied cooling medium into a gaseous state.
  • a particularly efficient cooling of the temperature-sensitive assembly, in particular the electric assembly, of the motor vehicle is thereby enabled.
  • a cooling of the electric assembly can still be possible at ambient temperatures of up to 27° C., in particular by synchronized operation of the pump device, if the condenser is flown through by ambient air in a good manner, for example during a speedy drive of the motor vehicle.
  • the condenser which can be arranged at an air-hydraulically particularly beneficial position of the motor vehicle, can be used for the particularly efficient discharge of heat of the temperature-sensitive assembly, in particular electric assembly.
  • the cooler for cooling the cooling medium is arranged in front of the condenser in an air-hydraulically and thermally disadvantageous manner or in a thermally and flow-technical disadvantageous manner, for example the lower floor of the motor vehicle, a wheel box or the like.
  • the cooling arrangement can be formed in a particularly compress and cost-efficient manner.
  • a particularly efficient cooling of the temperature-sensitive assembly, in particular electric assembly is also enabled in that no heat transfer losses occur during a heat transfer between different heat transfer media, for example the cooling medium and the cooling medium.
  • lines of the cooling circuit which supply the cooling medium to the temperature-sensitive assembly, in particular the electric assembly, can have a considerably lower cross section, than lines of the separate cooling medium circuit conveying the cooling medium.
  • the cooling of the temperature-sensitive assembly in particular the electric assembly, furthermore effects largely isotherm conditions in the temperature-sensitive assembly by means of evaporating liquid cooling medium. This is because heating of the cooling medium during the direct cooling of the temperature-sensitive assembly by means of the evaporator only takes place if the cooling medium is completely evaporated.
  • a liquid cooling medium that does not evaporate for example the water glycol mixture that can be used in the separate cooling medium circuit, the cooling mediums heats when flowing through the temperature-sensitive assembly. A less efficient cooling of the temperature-sensitive assembly is thereby given first and temperature differences of about 5° K can occur within the cooled temperature-sensitive assembly.
  • the pump device is arranged at a collection device arranged in particular downstream of the condenser for collecting the liquefied partial volume of the cooling medium.
  • the pump device thereby has a particularly good starting behavior.
  • the pump device can hereby in particular formed integrated in the collection device, so that no additional disconnecting points have to be arranged in the cooling circuit additionally to those that have to be provided in any case.
  • the cooling circuit has a compressor for compressing the cooling medium downstream of the evaporator and upstream of the condenser, wherein an expansion element is connected upstream of the evaporator for relaxing the compressed cooling medium, and wherein a bridging device for bridging the compressor when charging the evaporator by means of the pump device is provided. It is thereby enabled to cool the temperature-sensitive assembly, even if comparatively high ambient temperatures are present, that is for example above 25° C., that is, if the temperature of the ambient air exceeds the temperature of the temperature-sensitive assembly. In this case, charging of the condenser with cooling medium compressed by means of the compressor is necessary for liquefying the cooling medium of the condenser.
  • the bridging device for bridging the compressor when charging the evaporator by means of the pump device can have a non-return valve in an advantageous manner, which can be flown through by the cooling medium when charging the evaporator by means of the pump device.
  • a particularly simple, operating phase-dependent closing and/or opening of the bridging device is enabled thereby.
  • the non-return valve closes the bridging device due to the pressure acting on the non-return valve.
  • the cooling medium can be charged with a pressure by means of the compressor, which pressure is higher than a maximum back pressure to be generated when flowing the cooling medium through the pump device.
  • the compressor can thus effect a flow-through of the pump device acting as a non-return valve.
  • a bridging device for bridging the pump device having in particular a non-return valve can be provided when charging the evaporator by means of the compressor.
  • the cooling medium can thereby flow past the pump device in an unimpeded manner when operating the compressor. If the bridging device has a non-return valve, a forming of a short-circuit flow in the collection device when operating the pump device is additionally prevented.
  • a bypass device for bypassing the expansion element can be flown through by the cooling medium, which can be blocked by means of a first blocking device. At least the liquefied partial volume of the cooling medium can thereby be conveyed to the evaporator in a throttle-free, and thus especially efficient manner, by the pump device. A performance to be brought about by the pump device for conveying the liquefied partial volume of the cooling medium can be minimized thereby.
  • the temperature-sensitive assembly can thus be cooled efficiently by means of the pump device with a compressor out of operation with an energy expenditure of less than 30 W, if the temperature of the ambient air of the motor vehicle falls below 20° C.
  • a maximum temperature of the evaporator, which is supplied with heat from the electric assembly is hereby about 30° C.
  • An energy requirement of the motor vehicle for cooling the electric assembly is also particularly low.
  • a second blocking device is assigned to the expansion element, by which blocking device a flow-through of the expansion element is to be inhibited. It can be ensured thereby that the liquefied cooling medium flows to the evaporator in a throttle-free manner, when the pump device is operated.
  • the first blocking device and the second blocking device can for example be formed integrated into a three-way valve.
  • the cooling circuit has a further evaporator for cooling a passenger cell of a motor vehicle, to which a further expansion element for relaxing the cooling medium compressed by a compressor is connected upstream.
  • the evaporator assigned to the temperature-sensitive assembly, and simultaneously the further evaporator can be charged with the compressed cooling medium when operating of cooling circuit by means of the compressor, that is, with comparatively high ambient temperatures.
  • the efficient cooling of the electric assembly is thus ensured on the one hand and a comfortable cooling of the passenger cell can simultaneously be achieved by the cooling circuit.
  • a maximum difference between a pressure present upstream and downstream of the pump device can be adjusted by means of the pump device in the cooling circuit, wherein the further expansion element can be transferred to a closed position by means of this maximum difference. It can thereby be ensured with comparatively cool ambient temperatures, that is, if no cooling of the passenger cell is necessary, and only the temperature-sensitive assembly has to be cooled, that the liquefied partial volume of the cooling medium conveyed by the pump device is supplied to the evaporator, which is assigned to the temperature-sensitive assembly.
  • the further expansion element can hereby for example be formed as a thermostatic expansion valve.
  • a further blocking device can be assigned to the further expansion element, by which blocking device a flow-through of the further expansion element is to be inhibited.
  • the further expansion element can be transferred to an open position, in which the further expansion element can be flown through by the cooling medium in an essentially unimpeded manner.
  • the further expansion element can hereby be formed as an electrically regulated expansion element, so that the liquefied coolant medium can be supplied to the evaporator for cooling the passenger cell in a throttle-free manner when charging the evaporator with the liquefied partial volume of the coolant medium.
  • the heating can hereby be effected by operating an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle, a fan motor and/or further electronic components.
  • the operating of an internal combustion engine and/or of an exhaust gas plant under a high load and/or high solar radiation can lead to a heating of the air flowing into the passenger cell.
  • temperatures can adjust in front of the further evaporator provided for cooling the passenger cell, which temperatures are clearly higher than 10° K above the ambient temperature of the motor vehicle.
  • the air heated via the ambient temperature can be cooled in such a manner that air with a comfortable temperature flows into the passenger cell, without having to operate the compressor in the cooling circuit. If the compressor is operated when operating the internal combustion engine, a shutting down of the compressor brings about a fuel saving.
  • expansion element and the blocking devices or the expansion elements and the blocking devices are integrated in a charging module. Thereby, less disconnecting points have to be arranged in the cooling circuit than with a separate connection of the individual components in the cooling circuit. A susceptibility of the cooling circuit to leakages is thus reduced.
  • the cooling circuit has a bridging device for bridging the inner heat exchanger in an advantageous manner when charging the evaporator that can be flown through, in particular bridging the expansion element.
  • a difference of the temperature at the condenser and at the evaporator, which is assigned to the temperature-sensitive assembly for cooling, can thereby be used in a particularly extensive manner.

  • the cooling medium is present in the liquid state according to FIG. 2 with comparatively low enthalpy values.
  • a mixture of liquid and gaseous cooling medium is present in a region 62 delimited to the top by the phase boundary line 58 .
  • the cooling medium is completely present as a gaseous phase with relatively high enthalpy values of the cooling medium.
  • a corner point A of the line curve 56 describes a state of the cooling medium, in which it is present at the entry of the compressor 24 with a comparatively low pressure P and with a comparatively large enthalpy h.
  • a corner point B illustrates the state of the gaseous cooling medium A compressed by the compressor 24 .
  • the cooling medium under high pressure is liquefied in an isobaric manner.
  • the liquefied state of the cooling medium is illustrated by the corner point C of the line curve 56 in FIG. 2 .
  • the pressure p of the cooling medium reduces by a pressure difference ⁇ p, which has to be applied by the compressor 24 when compressing the cooling medium.
  • a temperature line curve given in FIG. 2 illustrates a temperature T U of the ambient air. This is larger than a temperature T Batt present at the electric assembly 12 , which is depicted by a second temperature line 66 in FIG. 2 .
  • the coolant medium absorbs heat by evaporating the liquid phase, its enthalpy changes in an isobaric manner by an enthalpy difference ⁇ h depicted in FIG. 2 , which corresponds to a distance between the corner points D and A of the line curve 56 .
  • a comparatively high pressure changing work corresponding to the pressure difference ⁇ p has to be used for discharging heat of the electric assembly 12 , that is, for charging the cooling medium with the enthalpy difference ⁇ h by means of the compressor 24 .

  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of a cooling arrangement 10 , which essentially distinguishes itself from the cooling arrangement 10 shown in FIG. 1 in that a further expansion element 70 is connected upstream of the evaporator 44 that can be transferred into an open position by accessing it.
  • the alternative further expansion element 70 can be formed as an electrically controlled expansion valve, for example as a magnetic valve. In a closed position of the further expansion element 70 , the further expansion element 70 serves as a blocking valve. In an open position that can be adjusted by the further expansion element 70 , the further expansion element 70 can be flown through in a largely throttle-free manner.
  • This function of the transfer of the further expansion element 70 into the open position can be used if the air present in front of the further evaporator 44 has a higher temperature T L than the temperature T U of the ambient air.
  • the air flowing to the further evaporator 44 in a climate box of the motor vehicle can for example be heated by heat input from an internal combustion engine operated in particular under a high load and/or exhaust plant and/or by waste heat of electric motors, electronic components and the like to temperatures of 5° K to 10° K above the temperature T U of the ambient air.
  • This heat introduction can again be increased by a circulating air operation and/or strong solar radiation.
  • the heated air in the climate box can be cooled to values just above the temperature T U of the ambient air in that the pump device 22 charges the further evaporator 44 with liquefied cooling medium in a throttle-free manner.
  • the compressor 24 is hereby not in operation.
  • the passenger cell of the motor vehicle can thus be cooled very efficiently and in a fuel-saving manner by operating the pump device 22 , if the temperature T U of the ambient air is lower than the temperature T L of the air in front of the further evaporator.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of a cooling arrangement 10 , which essentially corresponds to the embodiment of the cooling arrangement 10 shown in FIG. 1 .
  • a bridging device 72 for bridging the inner heat exchanger 54 .
  • the bridging devices 72 also bridges the expansion element 34 which can be formed as a fixed throttle, which is connected upstream of the evaporator 14 .
  • the non-return valve 32 arranged parallel to the pump device 22 in the collection device 20 according to FIG. 1 is arranged downstream of the expansion element 34 and upstream of an entry of the bridging device 72 in the charging module 42 according to FIG. 5 .
