Abstract

A temperature raising system includes an alternating current (AC) generation circuit connected to a power storage battery including one or more power storages and configured to generate an AC current, and a conductive member of a metallic conductor connected between a terminal portion of the power storage and the AC generation circuit or between two or more power storages. The conductive member includes a first path and a second path along which heat is generated by allowing the AC current to flow. The first path has a larger inductance component than the second path.

Claims (14)

1 . A temperature raising system comprising:

an alternating current (AC) generation circuit connected to a power storage battery including one or more power storages and configured to generate an AC current; and

a conductive member of a metallic conductor connected between a terminal portion of the power storage battery and the AC generation circuit or between two or more power storages, the conductive member including a first path and a second path along which heat is generated by allowing the AC current to flow, the first path having a larger inductance component than the second path,

wherein, in the conductive member,

the first path includes a first resistance component and an inductance component,

the second path includes a second resistance component, and

a resistance value of the second resistance component is larger than a resistance value of the first resistance component.

2 . The temperature raising system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first path includes a reactor having the first resistance component and the inductance component, and

wherein the second path includes a resistor having the second resistance component.

3 . The temperature raising system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first path includes a metallic conductor having the first resistance component and a magnet surrounding the metallic conductor, and

wherein the second path includes a resistor having the second resistance component.

4 . The temperature raising system according to claim 1 , wherein the AC generation circuit includes a first capacitor having a first end connected to a positive electrode side of the power storage battery and a second capacitor having a first end connected to a negative electrode side of the power storage battery and generates the AC current according to a resonance operation of the inductance component provided in the power storage battery and at least the first capacitor by switching a connection of the first capacitor and the second capacitor to the power storage battery to a series connection or a parallel connection.
