Vehicle: 2006 Prius Model: Four If the fan and ducting are clean and functional then ignore it and move on with life. The engineers did a pretty good job designing thermal management on the Prius HV pack. My 06 went 14 years and 160k before it needed battery work. Would the pack...
Prius Internal Combustion In his extensive comment, Sean refers to the Prius engine as a "Miller cycle" engine. Is that another name for the Atkinson cycle? Some of the inefficiency of the Otto cycle engine is that much of the compressed gases that are created by the combustion are released...
The MAS subsystem design was developed from analyzing the PRIUS in order to understand how it mates the ICE and EM components. Through this design, it was found that a specially designed gearing assembly, known as a planetary (or cyclic) gearing system, could allow for collaborative and ...
Various manufacturers, led by Honda and Toyota introduced mass- produced HEVs in North America (Honda Insight, 1999; Toyota Prius, 2000). By 2019, HEVs (including plug-in hybrids) accounted for approximately 2.9% of total light vehicle sales, down from a peak of 3.5% in 2013 [7]. Full...
Honda clearly intends for the new hybrid system to re-energize sales of its Civic hybrid, and to whittle away some of the marketshare currently owned by the top-selling Prius. The Civic is Honda’s best-selling model after the Accord, with some 600,000 units sold per year. ...
and also secured in place. Bedding the battery cells in a special gel effectively dampens any jolts and knocks. There is also a blow-off vent with a rupture disc and a separate cooling circuit. An internal electronic controller continuously monitors the safety requirements and immediately signals...

With the increased materials costs of copper and steel (for transformers) these high-tech motors are often cheaper than traditional AC induction motors -- the little cooling fan in your computer likely uses this technology (I hope!) ECM cooling fans are often half the price of comperable AC ...
While UC Riverside’s VERL meets the minimum test cell size and uses the appropriate cooling fan, it is not a climate-controlled facility. To approximate the required ambient temperature and humidity (35.0 ± 3.0 °C and 100 grains of water per pound of dry air or 27.4% RH), we ...
