Abstract: A first-pump arrangement flow path, temperature-adjustment target-device arrangement flow paths, and a second-pump arrangement flow path are connected to a communication flow path in this order from one end side to the other end side of the communication flow path. A first heat exchanger is disposed in the first-pump arrangement flow path among numerous flow paths, which is connected to the communication flow path at a position on a side of the first-pump arrangement flow path, rather than the flow path in which a second heat exchanger is disposed. The switching portion is operated to establish communication between plural flow paths, starting from the flow path connected to the communication flow path at the position closest to the one end side among the numerous flow paths, up to the flow path connected to the communication flow path at an n-th position counted from the one end side among the numerous flow paths.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for controlling electric power in a plug-in vehicle, such as a pure electric vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle. The electric power is controlled from an external power source to one or more predetermined components in the plug-in vehicle. The power source is external to the vehicle and has a maximum power level. Electric power at a charging level from the external power source is received. Based on the charging level and the maximum power level, an available power level is determined. Based on the available power level, the electric power is controlled from the external power source to the predetermined components in the plug-in vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle electrical system that includes a first energy accumulator which has a first maximum open circuit voltage when the first energy accumulator is fully charged, and a second energy accumulator which has a second maximum open-circuit voltage when the second energy accumulator is fully charged. The second maximum open circuit voltage is higher than the first maximum open circuit voltage. The vehicle electrical system also includes a generator configured to generate electrical energy for the vehicle electrical system and a control unit that is configured to detect a recuperation mode of the vehicle. The control unit is also configured to cause the generator, while the vehicle is in the recuperation mode, to generate electrical energy with a charge voltage which is in or above a buffer voltage range, wherein the buffer voltage range lies between the first maximum open circuit voltage and the second maximum open circuit voltage.

Abstract: An energy management system is applied to a vehicle having a first power source, a first converter, an electricity storage part, and a second power source. The energy management system has a second converter, a heat storage part, a mode switching part, and a controller. The mode switching part switches between a heat storage mode and a heat radiation mode. The heat storage part changes to a first phase in a solid state when a temperature of the heat storage part is lower than or equal to a phase transition temperature, and changes to a second phase in a solid state when a temperature of the heat storage part exceeds the phase transition temperature. The controller controls the operations of the second converter and the mode switching part based on at least one of an electricity storage condition of the electricity storage part and a conversion condition of the first converter.
