ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,703,316, issued on Aug. 11, was assigned to Ford Global Technologies LLC (Dearborn, Mich.).
"System and method to reduce viscous losses of electric vehicle" was invented by William Rey Patterson (Houston).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods for cooling and delivering oil for an electric vehicle are described. In one example, viscosity of oil and resistance to oil flow of an oil circuit reduce oil flow through a cooling circuit so as to reduce powertrain losses that may be related to oil viscosity. At higher temperatures, the viscosity of oil allows the oil to flow through the cooling circuit and lower a temperature of an el...
