In the fuel cell vehicle provided with the motor and configured to drive the motor with power of at least one of the fuel celland the battery, the fuel cell having a DC voltage of less than 60 V is disposed in the rear portion of the vehicle and the battery is disposed in the front relative to the fuel cell.

Fuel cell vehicle

The problem of the present invention relates to providing a valve device that, even in a case where the valve device is miniaturized, is capable of preventing a gas discharge valve from malfunctioning in response to the heat generated by an electromagnetic actuator. A valve deviceincludes: an opening and closing valvethat is arranged in a gas flow passage; and a fusible plug valvethat is provided with a valve bodyoperating in response to an increase in temperature of a gas, and discharges the gas to the outside of a high-pressure gas container, wherein the valve body of the fusible plug valve is arranged on the upstream side in the gas flow passage than the opening and closing valve on a path through which the gas flows from the supply portof the high-pressure gas container toward the fuel cell

Valve device

A battery unit, a bottomed case, a plate-shaped cooling plate, and first heat transfer material are included. The cooling plate is fastened to a bottom part of the case from the outside of the case, and can cool the battery unit via the bottom part of the case. The first heat transfer material have a plastic property and are held between the bottom part of the case and the cooling plate. The bottom part of the case has heat transfer material housings that house excess first heat transfer material therein when the cooling plate has been fastened to the case.

Assembled battery

A reservoir tank which includes: a container for storing fluid therein, having an inlet through which the fluid flows into the container and an outlet through which the fluid flows out of the container; and a duct provided inside the container, which is connected to the inlet of the container and has a first opening open inside the container. The first opening is located above the outlet of the container and below a surface of the fluid in the container.

Reservoir tank

A cooling system for a vehicle which includes a coolant circuit () for circulating coolant to cool a unit () carried on the vehicle; a refrigerant circuit () for circulating refrigerant for an air conditioner of the vehicle; and a heat exchanger () connected to the coolant and refrigerant circuits (), provided with a storage medium () for storing cool of the refrigerant. The heat exchanger () carries out heat-exchanges between the coolant and the storage medium, and between the coolant and the refrigerant.
