DRIVE
February 6, 2025
A thermal management system for an electric forklift. The system includes a battery cooling circulation loop, a battery heating circulation loop, a cab cooling circulation loop, a cab heating circulation loop, a turn-on control unit, and a thermal management control module. The battery cooling circulation loop includes a battery cooling sub-loop and a refrigerant sub-loop. The battery cooling circulation loop and the refrigerant sub-loop are connected in parallel, and share an electric compressor and a condenser. The cab heating circulation loop and the battery heating circulation loop are connected in parallel, and share a heater and a second power unit. The turn-on control unit separately controls turn-on and turn-off of the loops. The thermal management control module controls the operation of the turn-on control unit and the loops according to battery temperature data in the electric forklift and/or a thermal management request inputted from the outside.
