Abstract
A liquid cooled charging cable system may be provided. The liquid cooled charging cable system may comprise a source, a load, a liquid cooled charging cable, and a cooling device. The liquid cooled charging cable may connect the source to the load, and may supply electric energy from the source to the load. The liquid cooled charging cable may comprise a supply conductor and a return conductor. The cooling device may pump a coolant around the supply conductor and the return conductor where the supply conductor and the return conductor may be immersed in the coolant.
Claims18
A cable comprising:
- a first supply hose comprising;
- a first supply hose interior surface,
- a first supply hose interior cavity defined by the first supply hose interior surface, wherein the first supply hose interior cavity provides a supply pathway for first supply hose coolant, and
- a first conductor disposed within the first supply hose interior cavity, wherein a first supply hose interior space is formed between the first conductor and the first supply hose interior surface within the first supply hose interior cavity;
- a first return hose comprising;
- a first return hose interior surface, and
- a first return hose interior cavity defined by the first return hose interior surface, wherein the first return hose interior cavity provides a first return pathway for the first supply hose coolant supplied through the first supply hose interior cavity, by merging the first supply hose to the first return hose at a load, wherein a first supply pathway is connected to a cooling device through a first coolant supply conduit, and wherein a first return pathway is connected to the cooling device through a first coolant return conduit;
- and
- a jacket comprising;
- a jacket interior surface, and
- a jacket interior cavity defined by the jacket interior surface, wherein the first supply hose and the first return hose are only disposed in the jacket interior cavity, and wherein the first coolant supply conduit and the first coolant return conduit are only disposed outside the jacket.

- a second return hose comprising;
- a second return hose interior surface, and
- a second return hose interior cavity defined by the return hose interior surface, wherein the second return hose interior cavity provides a second return pathway for the second supply hose coolant supplied through the second supply hose interior cavity;
- and
- a jacket comprising;
- a jacket interior surface, and
- a jacket interior cavity defined by the jacket interior surface, wherein the first supply hose, the first return hose, the second supply hose, and the second return hose are disposed in the jacket interior cavity.
