Abstract
A system includes heat generating components in a vehicle and a coolant flow path connected to the heat generating components. The system includes a coolant pump that circulates coolant through the coolant flow path and a reversing mechanism that reverses a direction of circulation of coolant.
Claims7
A system, the system comprising:
- a first component in contact with coolant and a second component in contact with the coolant in a vehicle;
- a coolant pump configured to circulate the coolant through a coolant flow path, in a direction from the first component to the second component, wherein an initial first temperature of the first component is higher than an initial second temperature of the second component;
- and
- a controller configured to, in response to a temperature of the second component increasing from the initial second temperature to a modified second temperature, the modified second temperature being equal to or greater than the initial first temperature, reverse the direction of circulation of coolant to a reversed direction, wherein the reversed direction is from the second component to the first component.
