Air Cooling
The drive motor generator battery is cooled by a vent fan motor. The vent fan motor and vent fan motor relay are located inside the drive motor battery assembly. B+ to the vent fan is provided from vent fan relay when the battery energy control module (BECM) supplies a ground to the relay. The battery vent fan draws the air through the batteries to cool them. There are several foam seals internal to the drive motor generator battery in order to prevent air leaks. The exhaust air exits from hybrid drive motor generator battery in the rear and is routed through a duct into the floor panel of the vehicle. The hybrid battery air inlet temperature sensor is located on the inlet air duct for the hybrid battery fan, and the battery air outlet temperature sensor is located in the air passage above the hybrid batteries. These sensors are used by the battery energy control module (BECM) to determine air flow. Refer to Drive Motor Generator Control Module Description and Operation .
Electrolyte Venting
Each of the 40 hybrid batteries has a vent for electrolyte gas that is located on the top of each battery. The hybrid batteries vent system connects all of the 40 hybrid battery vents to a rubber manifold. The vent exits the hybrid drive motor generator battery through a single hose in the rear and is vented through the floor panel of the vehicle. These vents are mechanical and will only open when a predetermined amount of internal battery pressure is reached.
Hybrid Cooling
The drive motor generator power inverter module (PIM) assembly converts high voltage direct current (DC) electrical energy to 3 phase alternating current (AC) electrical energy. The accessory DC power converter module (APM) converts high voltage DC electric energy into low voltage (14 V) and intermediate voltage (42 V) in order to charge the vehicles accessory battery and supply electric energy to the 42 V power steering system. The APM and PIM are fastened together and are referred to as the drive motor/generator control module assembly. The engine control module (ECM) monitors a temperature sensor in the power electronics cooling system and operates the radiator fan and the power electronics coolant pump in response to power electronics cooling system temperature.
The drive motor/generator control module assembly is cooled with pre-mixed Dexcool® circulating through a cooling system that is separate from the engine cooling system.The coolant uses 50/50 mix of Dex-cool and de-ionized water. De-ionized water is required in order to prevent corrosion from effecting heatsink performance. Always use pre-mixed coolant and never use tap water in the power electronics coolant system. The pump system will always be activated when the vehicle is on and propulsion is available. The pump system will also be activated when the vehicle is on and propulsion is not available if the algorithms determine that cooling is needed. The HCP and ECM determine the speed/flow and control the power electronics coolant pump system. This circuit is a single driver control to a relay and both pumps are in parallel powered by a fuse in the auxiliary BEC. The power electronics coolant pump control shall be on during a key crank, after a successful key crank, during a jump assist event or after a key off when the power electronics coolant is extremely hot.
