Cooling system
A cooling system includes air intakes, air intake fans, a duct, and an intake-air controller. The air intakes are separately formed near seats disposed side by side inside a vehicle. The air intake fans individually take in air through the air intakes. The duct guides the air taken in by the air intake fans to a battery. The intake-air controller controls a ratio of intake air flow rates in the air intake fans according to the state of a seated occupant.
1. A cooling system comprising:
a plurality of air intakes separately formed near seats disposed side by side inside a vehicle;
a plurality of air intake fans configured to individually take in air through the plurality of air intakes;
a duct provided to guide the air taken in by the plurality of air intake fans to a battery; and
an intake-air controller configured to control a ratio of intake air flow rates in the plurality of air intake fans according to a state of a seated occupant, wherein
the intake-air controller performs control so that an intake air flow rate in an air intake fan communicating with an air intake near an occupied seat among the seats disposed side by side is lower than an intake air flow rate in an air intake fan communicating with an air intake near an unoccupied seat among the seats disposed side by side.
2. The cooling system according to claim 1 , wherein
the intake-air controller controls the ratio of the intake air flow rates in the plurality of air intake fans so that a total of the intake air flow rates in the plurality of air intake fans is within a predetermined range.
3. The cooling system according to claim 1 ,
wherein when a predetermined update stop condition is satisfied, the intake-air controller does not update the ratio of the intake air flow rates, the predetermined update stop condition being a condition under which the state of the seated occupant remains unchanged.
4. The cooling system according to claim 2 , wherein
when a predetermined update stop condition is satisfied, the intake-air controller does not update the ratio of the intake air flow rates, the predetermined update stop condition being a condition under which the state of the seated occupant remains unchanged.
5. A cooling system comprising:
a plurality of air intakes separately formed near seats disposed side by side inside a vehicle;
a plurality of air intake fans configured to individually take in air through the plurality of air intakes;
a duct provided to guide the air taken in by the plurality of air intake fans to a battery; and
circuitry device configured to control a ratio of intake air flow rates in the plurality of air intake fans according to a state of a seated occupant, wherein
the circuitry device is configured to control so that an intake air flow rate in an air intake fan communicating with an air intake near an occupied seat among the seats disposed side by side is lower than an intake air flow rate in an air intake fan communicating with an air intake near an unoccupied seat among the seats disposed side by side.
