Patent ID: 10843522

Abstract:
When a device temperature (Tb) of an electrical storage device (10) is higher than or equal to a reference temperature, a fan (22) is driven at an air quantity larger than or equal to a reference air quantity. On the other hand, when the device temperature is lower than the reference temperature, air that has received heat from the electrical storage device is guided to a discharge chamber by driving the fan at an air quantity smaller than the reference air quantity on the basis of the fact that an air-conditioning system is operating and an outside air temperature is lower than or equal to a predetermined temperature. When the air-conditioning system is operating and the outside air temperature is lower than or equal to the predetermined temperature, it is assumed that there is a temperature difference between a passenger compartment and the discharge chamber. At this time, by driving the fan at the air quantity smaller than the reference air quantity, it is possible to bring the temperature of the discharge chamber close to the temperature of the passenger compartment by raising the temperature of the discharge chamber, so it is possible to reduce the temperature difference between the discharge chamber and the passenger compartment.
