Intelligent liquid cooling system for electric vehicle

Abstract

Disclosed are intelligent liquid cooling systems for electric vehicles. The systems include a coolant circulation system, a sensor, and a controller. The coolant circulation system includes a coolant circulation path filled with a liquid coolant in thermal communication with a subsystem of the electric vehicle, and a coolant circulator to flow the liquid coolant through the coolant circulation path. The sensor is configured to be circulated through the coolant circulation path by the flowing liquid coolant, where the sensor is configured to sense localized physical conditions of the liquid coolant at different locations along the coolant circulation path. In addition, the sensor is in wireless communication with a controller. The controller is configured to receive signals from the sensor indicative of the localized physical conditions at the different locations and adjust a condition of the liquid coolant in response to the received signals.
