Zusammenfassung:A cooling system for a driveline of an electric vehicle includes a coolant circuit directing a coolant flow through a first inverter and a second inverter of the driveline, and an adjustable flow valve, the adjustable flow valve is positioned along the coolant circuit to selectively vary a proportion of coolant flow directed through each of the first inverter and the second inverter. A method of operating a cooling system for a first inverter and a second inverter of a vehicle driveline includes commanding a speed and a torque of each of the first inverter and the second inverter, and estimating a loss and a temperature of each of the first inverter and the second inverter, the loss and temperature are results of the commanded speed and torque. A valve position of an adjustable flow valve operatively connected to the first inverter and the second inverter is selected and a change in the valve position is commanded. 一种用于电动车辆的传动系的冷却系统,包括引导冷却剂流通过传动系的第一逆变器和第二逆变器的冷却剂回路,以及可调节流量阀,该可调节流量阀沿着冷却剂回路定位以选择性地改变引导通过第一逆变器和第二逆
