Charging device module for installation in an electrically driveable vehicle, vehicle and method for cooling components of an electrically driveable vehicle
A charging device module for installation in an electrically driveable vehicle, including a charging device and an internal cooling circuit for cooling the charging device, wherein the internal cooling circuit has connections for connection to a superordinate cooling circuit of the vehicle, wherein the connections comprise at least one inlet and at least one outlet, and a bypass line connects the at least one inlet to the at least one outlet while bypassing the internal cooling circuit, wherein an actuable valve is associated with the at least one inlet, by which valve the flow of coolant through the internal cooling circuit and the bypass line can be controlled.
1. A charging device module for installation in an electrically driveable vehicle, comprising a charging device and an internal cooling circuit for cooling the charging device, wherein the internal cooling circuit has connections for connection to a superordinate cooling circuit of the vehicle, wherein the connections comprise at least one inlet and at least one outlet, and a bypass line connects the at least one inlet to the at least one outlet while bypassing the internal cooling circuit, wherein an actuable valve is associated with the at least one inlet, by which valve the flow of coolant through the internal cooling circuit and the bypass line can be controlled, wherein the valve can be actuated by a control unit of the charging device.
2. The charging device module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the bypass line is guided outside a housing of the charging device module.
3. The charging device module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the valve is arranged outside a housing of the charging device module.
4. The charging device module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the valve is arranged inside a housing of the charging device module.
5. The charging device module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the internal cooling circuit is guided inside a housing of the charging device module.
6. The charging device module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the internal cooling circuit is guided inside a cooler which is associated with a housing of the charging device module.
7. The charging device module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the hydraulic resistance of the bypass line is matched to the hydraulic resistance of the internal cooling circuit of the charging device module.
8. An electrically driveable vehicle which has electrical energy stores and at least one charging device module as claimed in claim 1 which is installed in the vehicle.
9. A method for cooling components of an electrically driveable vehicle by a coolant which is guided in a cooling circuit, wherein the cooling circuit is actuated in such a way that, during driving operation of the vehicle, coolant does not flow through a section of the cooling circuit which serves for cooling a charging device of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle has a charging device module as claimed in claim 1 , and wherein the control unit of the charging device controls the valve position of the actuable valve in such a way that coolant from the superordinate cooling circuit flows through the internal cooling circuit during charging operation of the charging device and flows through the bypass line during driving operation of the vehicle.
10. The method as claimed in claim 9 ,
wherein the valve position of the actuable valve, which valve position connects the internal cooling circuit to the superordinate cooling circuit of the vehicle, is made a condition for the charging device to be able to start charging operation.
