It should be understood that they could be coupled in a different sequence than shown in Fig. 1 , in a parallel as opposed to a series configuration, or a series/parallel configuration.
[0019] Controllable valve V2 has three outlet ports, first outlet port V2-
A, second outlet port V2-B and third outlet port V2-C. First outlet port V2-A is coupled to an inlet port 180 of PE radiator 122.

[0024] Each of controllable valves V1 , V2, V3, V4 and V5 have control inputs 208, 210, 212, 214, 216, respectively, coupled to outputs 218, 220, 222, 224, 226, respectively, of a controller 228.
[0025] Fig. 2 is a state table showing the states for controllable valves V1 , V2, V3, V4 and V5 for various cabin and battery heating modes where certain of the cabin heating modes also include battery cooling modes and a battery pack recirculation mode. The columns for each controllable valve show its output port which is coupled to its input port for each mode, the modes shown in the left hand column of the state table.
[0026] In mode 1 , the cabin of the vehicle is heated with heat generated by the components of power electronics 126 of PE coolant loop 106. Controller 228 controls controllable valves V1 - V5 so that the inlet port 202 of controllable valve V1 is coupled to its first outlet port V1 -A, inlet port 172 of controllable valve V2 is coupled to its second outlet port V2-B, inlet port 192 of controllable valve V3 is coupled to its first outlet port V3-A.

In this mode, coolant heated by the components of power electronics 126 in PE coolant loop 106 flows through controllable valve V2 into cabin coolant loop 104 at the inlet port 184 of HVAC coolant pump 1 16 and then through controllable valve V3 to inlet port 198 of heater core 120 and then through heater core 120 where it is used to heat the cabin of the vehicle. Coolant exiting cabin coolant loop 104 at outlet port 200 of heater core 120 flows through controllable valve V1 into PE coolant loop 106 at the inlet port 166 of PE coolant pump 124.
[0027] In an aspect of the present disclosure, the temperature of the individual cells of battery pack 108 are maintained at the same temperature by
using the battery pack recirculation mode if there is no need to heat or cool battery pack 108. In battery pack recirculation mode, coolant recirculates in battery pack coolant loop 102 from battery pack coolant pump 1 10, through battery pack 108, through controllable valves V4 and V5 back to battery pack coolant pump 1 10 without any thermal input other than that provided by the individual cells of battery pack 108.

Battery pack radiator 1 12 is used for cooling battery pack 108 unless the demand for cooling exceeds the cooling capability of battery pack radiator 1 12, in which case chiller 1 14 is used to cool battery pack 108. When battery pack radiator 1 12 is for cooling battery pack 108, inlet port 142 of controllable valve V4 is coupled to its first outlet port V4-A. Since no coolant will be flowing to controllable valve V5, it is left unpowered. In this mode of cooling of battery pack 108, coolant flows from battery pack coolant pump 1 10, through battery pack 108, through controllable valve V4 to battery pack radiator 1 12, and through battery pack radiator 1 12 back to inlet port 154 of battery pack coolant pump 1 10.

Coolant in cabin coolant loop 104 flows in a recirculating path in cabin coolant loop 104 from HVAC coolant pump 1 16 through coolant heater 1 18 (which is deenergized), through heater core 120 and back to inlet port 184 of HVAC coolant pump 1 16.
[0030] In Mode 3, battery pack 108 is heated with heat generated by coolant heater 1 18. Controller 228 controls controllable valves V2 - V5 so that inlet port 172 of controllable valve V2 is coupled to its first outlet port V2-A, inlet port 192 of controllable valve V3 is coupled to its second outlet port V3-B, inlet port 142 of controllable valve V4 is coupled to its second outlet port V4-B, inlet port 156 of controllable valve V5 is coupled to its first outlet port V5-A.

In this mode, coolant flows in a loop through HVAC coolant pump 1 16, coolant heater 1 18 (which is energized), through controllable valve V3 to controllable V5, through controllable valve V5 to battery pack coolant pump 1 10, through battery pack 108, through controllable valve V4 back to inlet port 184 of HVAC coolant pump 1 16. Coolant also recirculates in PE coolant loop 106 from PE coolant pump 124, through the components of power electronics 126, through controllable valve V2 to PE radiator 122, through PE radiator 122 back to inlet port 166 of PE coolant pump 124.
[0031] In Mode 4, battery pack 108 and the vehicle cabin are heated with heat generated by coolant heater 1 18. Controller 228 controls controllable valve so that the inlet port 202 of controllable valve V1 is coupled to its first outlet port V1 -A, inlet port 172 of controllable valve V2 is coupled to its third outlet port V2-C, inlet port 192 of controllable valve V3 is coupled to its first outlet port V3-A, inlet port 142 of controllable valve V4 is coupled to its second outlet port V4-5,
and V5 is left unpowered. In this mode, coolant flows through HVAC coolant pump 1 16, through coolant heater 1 18, through controllable valve V3 to heater core 120, through heater core 120, through controllable valve V1 to PE coolant pump 124, through power electronics components in PE coolant loop 106, through controllable valve V2 to battery pack coolant pump 1 10, through battery pack 108, and through controllable valve V4 back to inlet port 184 of HVAC coolant pump 1 16.
[0032] In Mode 5, the vehicle cabin is heated with heat generated by coolant heater 1 18. Controller 228 controls controllable valves V1 and V3 so that inlet port 202 of controllable valve V1 is coupled to its second outlet port V1 - B and inlet port 192 of controllable valve V3 is coupled to its first outlet port V3- A. In this mode, coolant recirculates in cabin coolant loop 104. Coolant flows from HVAC coolant pump 1 16 through coolant heater 1 18 (which is energized), through controllable valve V3 to heater core 120, through heater core 120, through controllable valve V1 back to inlet port 184 of HVAC coolant pump 1 16. Controller 228 also controls controllable valves V2, V4 and V5 depending on whether battery cooling, heating (with heat generated by the components of power electronics 126 of PE coolant loop 126) or recirculation is desired. In this regard, controller 228 controls controllable valves V4 and V5 as discussed above with respect to mode 1 depending on whether battery pack recirculation or cooling is desired and if battery cooling is desired, whether to use the battery pack radiator 1 12 or chiller 1 14 to cool battery pack 108.
[0033] In Mode 6, battery pack 108 and the vehicle cabin are heated with heat generated by the components of power electronics 126 of PE coolant loop 106. Controller 228 controls controllable valves V1 - V4 so that inlet port 202 of controllable valve V1 is coupled to its first outlet port V1 -A, inlet port 210 of controllable valve V2 is coupled to its third outlet port V2-C, inlet port 192 of controllable valve V3 is coupled to its first outlet port V3-A, and inlet port 142 of controllable valve V4 is coupled to its second outlet port V4-B. V5 is left unpowered since no coolant flows through it in this mode. In this mode, coolant flows through PE coolant pump 124 through the components of power electronics 126 in PE coolant loop 106 where it is heated. This heated coolant
flows through controllable valve V2 to battery pack coolant pump 1 10, through battery pack coolant pump 1 10, through battery pack 108, through controllable valve V4 to HVAC coolant pump 1 16, through coolant heater 1 18 (which is deenergized), through controllable valve V3 to heater core 120, through heater core 120, through controllable valve V1 back to inlet port 166 of PE coolant pump 124.
[0034] It should be understood that there are various configurations of valves and types of valves that can be used to provide battery coolant loop 102, cabin coolant loop 104 and PE coolant loop 106 and that the foregoing description of battery coolant loop 102, cabin coolant loop 104 and PE coolant loop 106 is exemplary and not exhaustive. For example, valves V1 - V5 could be proportional valves, or modulated to switch their respective inlets between a plurality of their respective outlets so as to provide flow from their respective inlets to a plurality of their outputs in any particular mode.
