Abstract
A working machine includes an auxiliary system carried by the working machine, one or more batteries and an onboard thermal transfer system. The one or more batteries power an electrical system of the working machine. The onboard thermal transfer system utilizes a coolant configured to remove at least a portion of heat generated by the one or more batteries during charging or discharging of the one or more batteries and using the coolant heated by the thermal transfer system to heat the auxiliary system.
Claims14
A working machine comprising:
- an auxiliary system carried by the working machine;
- one or more batteries powering an electrical system of the working machine;
- and
- an onboard thermal transfer system utilizing a coolant configured to remove at least a portion of heat generated by the one or more batteries during charging or discharging of the one or more batteries and using the coolant heated by the thermal transfer system to heat the auxiliary system, wherein, upon startup of the working machine, the coolant bypasses at least one of the auxiliary system or a second thermal transfer system.
A system configured to transfer heat away from one or more batteries of a working machine during charging or discharging of the one or more batteries, the system comprising:
- a working machine comprising:
- one or more batteries carried by the working machine;
- a machine electrical system connected to receive power from the one or more batteries;
- and
- one or more auxiliary systems carried by the working machine;
- and
- a thermal transfer system having at least a portion thereof onboard the working machine, the thermal transfer system having a coolant configured to remove at least a portion of heat generated by the one or more batteries during charging or discharging of the one or more batteries, wherein, upon startup of the working machine, the coolant bypasses at least one of the one or more auxiliary systems or a second thermal transfer system.
A system configured to transfer heat away from one or more batteries of a working machine during charging or discharging of the one or more batteries, the system comprising:
- a working machine comprising:
- one or more batteries carried by the working machine;
- a machine electrical system connected to receive power from the one or more batteries;
- and
- one or more auxiliary systems carried by the working machine;
- and
- a thermal transfer system having at least a portion thereof onboard the working machine, the thermal transfer system having a coolant configured to remove at least a portion of heat generated by the one or more batteries during charging or discharging of the one or more batteries, wherein, upon startup of the working machine, the coolant bypasses both the one or more auxiliary systems and a second thermal transfer system and flows to an onboard tank.
