Abstract
A power plant thermal-management-system control method for controlling thermal management systems in PMCs is provided. The thermal management systems are operated based on coolant temperatures of the PMCs of a power plant of a fuel cell vehicle to prevent the temperatures of the PMCs from deviating from a reference range, which in turn prevents degradation of fuel cells.
Claims5
1-13. (canceled)
A method for controlling thermal management systems of a power plant, comprising:
- opening, by a high-level controller, a temperature control valve (CTV) of a second power module complete (PMC) when the second PMC in operation is stopped, while a first PMC is in operation;
- operating, by the high-level controller, a thermal management system of the first PMC to a maximum;
- closing, by the high-level controller, the CTV of the second PMC when a reference time lapses;
- and
- operating, by the high-level controller, the thermal management system of the first PMC normally when the reference time lapses.
