Abstract
An electric vehicle test chamber device for electric vehicle fluid oxidation testing. The device is incorporated into a system that includes a shaft implement such as a pump as well as a variable electric input mechanism with capacity to impart a variety of different types of electrical fields to the fluid. The fields may be induced by direct current, alternating current or an electromagnetic current. The system includes an acquisition unit for collection of oxidation data as well as capacity to account for a variety of other parameters applied to the fluid in order to attained enhanced accuracy of oxidation data analysis.
Core Innovation
An electric vehicle test chamber device of a system for evaluating oxidation of an electric vehicle fluid includes a chamber to accommodate the electric vehicle fluid and in communication with an acquisition unit for acquiring and managing fluid data. A pump shaft implement has an oxidation catalyst submerged within the fluid, and a variable electrical input mechanism is submerged in the fluid for application of multiple different types of electrical fields to the fluid to generate the fluid data.
The fields induced by any of a direct current source, an alternating current source, and an electromagnet are used to generate the fluid data. The variable electrical input mechanism comprises an insulated metallic wire, and the insulated metallic wire comprises a coil wrapped about the pump shaft implement. This submerged coil is configured to apply the electrical fields to the fluid while oxidation catalyst and fluid are maintained in the chamber.
A method and system are provided for evaluating oxidation in which the acquisition unit acquires and manages oxidation data in light of the applied conditions. The fluid data management accounts for the one of the multiple different types of electrical fields used during the evaluation, and the analysis further accounts for selected process parameters including test duration, temperature, pumping shaft implement speed, and air injection rate.
