20090248204 | Cooling system and control method of cooling system - The position of a damper is changed over to switch over the cooling mode between an inside air intake mode and an A/C intake mode. In the inside air intake mode, the air inside a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle is taken in and directly blown to a battery by the operation of a battery blower fan. In the A/C intake mode, the air cooled down by an air conditioner (evaporator) is taken in and blown to the battery by the operation of the battery blower fan. When the detected vehicle speed V is not lower than a preset reference speed Vref, the position of the damper is immediately changed over (steps S | 10-01-2009 |
20100231035 | POWER SUPPLY APPARATUS - A power supply apparatus includes a storage battery and a DC/DC converter, and formed such that cooling air having cooled the storage battery cools the DC/DC converter. The power supply apparatus is formed to extend to the periphery of a cabin, and includes a long air outlet duct for letting out part of the cooling air having cooled the DC/DC converter to the periphery; and a short air outlet duct that is formed to have a shorter air outlet route than the long air outlet duct has and that is for letting out part of the cooling air having cooled the DC/DC converter to the cabin. | 09-16-2010 |
