Device for thermal management of a vehicle equiped with a fuel cell

摘要

The main cooling liquid is not in chemical contact with the fuel cell and may therefor be a water glycol mixture which does not require a phase separator. The electronic component cooling unit (28) is placed in the main cooling circuit and the battery and motor are separately cooled (50,29). Heat from the fuel cell (1) is used in the first instance to heat the cabin (18), then discharged externally (13) and sent finally to an exchanger (21) and compressor (38). Independent claims are also included for the following: a vehicle equipped with the thermal management system; a method for managing the thermal requirement on a fuel cell vehicle.
