3、Subject: Liquid cooled high power charging system equipmentDECISION:(NEW)SUPPLEMENT SBLIQUID COOLED CHARGER SYSTEMSINTRODUCTION1 Scope1.1 This supplement covers charging equipment systems that utilize liquid cooling to cool the output cableto the electric vehicle and the vehicle connector in order t
4、o deliver higher power to an electric vehicle. Theliquid cooling system encompasses the entire charging system from charger to vehicle connector in onecontinuous closed loop. The charging equipment is intended to comply with the requirements in thisSupplement.1.2 The requirements in this supplement
5、do not cover gaseous cooling systems or simple de-rating ofcurrent to control temperature.2 Glossary2.1 INTERMEDIATE CURRENT LEVELS Output current levels that the system may choose to utilize asallowable output currents based on input from various systems monitoring and sensing devices. Thesecurrent
6、 level values are numerically between the Normal Rated Current and the Maximum Rated Current.2.2 NORMAL RATED CURRENT - Current rating for which the output cable to the electric vehicle is sizedto handle without any cooling means.2.2 MAXIMUM RATED CURRENT Current rating for which the charging system
7、 equipment is designedto provide to the EV when liquid cooling is provided and in use.CONSTRUCTION3 GeneralUL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL3.1 The requirements in this supplement are intended to add to the requirements in UL 22
8、02. As such,the two documents are intended to be used in conjunction when evaluating the charging systemequipment with liquid cooling.3.2 The liquid cooling system is intended to cool the output cable to the electric vehicle and the contactswithin the vehicle connector when the maximum rated current
9、 is being conducted. At any time duringnormal operation, the temperature of the contacts in the vehicle connector shall not exceed 90 C. As aminimum during operation, the contact temperatures are to be monitored.3.3 With reference to 3.2, all liquid cooled charging systems shall be rated with a maxi
10、mum rated currentthat indicates the current rating when liquid cooling is used.3.4 The charging system may operate in one of three distinct operational modes. All operational modesinvolve monitoring the temperature of the contacts as indicated in 3.2 and when the temperaturemonitoring indicates the
11、temperatures are approaching 90 C, the system is to perform a specific functionas indicated below.a) For operational mode 1, the unit shall shut down and all output is reduced to zero.b) For operational mode 2, the output shall be reduced to the normal rated current level withoutshut down in order t
12、o reduce the temperature at the contacts. Temperature monitoring is tocontinue. No intermediate levels are allowed. If temperatures continue to approach 90 C afterthe initial current reduction, the unit shall shut down and all output is reduced to zero.c) For operational mode 3, the charging system
13、shall reduce current to either the normal ratedcurrent level or, as an option, to an intermediate current level. Monitoring is to continue in eithercase. If temperatures or other monitored parameters indicate a further reduction in current isnecessary, then the system can reduce current to the norma
14、l rated current level or lowerintermediate limit can be chosen. Once the unit reduces to the normal rated current, regardlessof how many intermediate levels are used, any temperature indication approaching 90 Crequires the unit to shut down and all output is reduced to zero.3.5 With reference to 3.4
15、 charging systems that use operational mode 2 shall have a normal rated currentfor the non-liquid cooled operating condition. Systems for operational mode 3 shall have a normal ratedcurrent level and all intermediate current levels indicated. Testing of the unit will incorporate and verify allof th
16、ese current level limits.3.6 The charging equipment system may be contained within one enclosure or may be in multipleenclosures that are interconnected by cable or conduit. In the case where the multiple enclosures areinterconnected, the wiring or cabling used to interconnect the systems shall be e
17、valuated in the samemanner as the output cable to the electric vehicle. See 4.2.1 and Section 7. The interconnecting cablingshall be included in the risk assessment in Section 5.3.7 The charging system may monitor many different parameters associated with the liquid cooling. Themanufacturer can choo
18、se which parameters are to be included in the design based on risk mitigationneeds. See Risk Assessment, Section 5.3.8 With reference to 3.7, the contact temperatures in the vehicle connector shall always be one of theparameters monitored. The contact temperature monitoring shall require one monitor
19、ing device or sensoron each of the DC contacts in the vehicle connector. During operation of the charging system at maximumrated current, the monitoring devices or sensors on the DC contacts shall continuously send a signal tothe charging system equipment control system. If at any time during operat
20、ion, one or both of themonitoring devices or sensors fails to send a signal to the charging system equipment, the output currentSTANDARD NUMBER: UL 2202 -2-UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULshall be reduced in accordance with the
21、 applicable operational mode for which the charging system wasdesigned. Additionally, the charging system shall insure that the temperature readings provided by themonitoring device or sensor are provided with a degree of accuracy. This is accomplished by comparingthe two signals and determining tha
22、t the difference between the temperature indications is less than 5 C.3.9 If at any time the monitored temperature goes above 90 C, the system must perform an emergencyshutdown defined as reducing all output to zero. Additionally, the incident shall be logged by the systemto indicate that the event
23、occurred. If the monitored temperature goes above 90 C for two consecutivecharge events, then the system shall go into an out of order state and a service person will need to restorethe system to service once the unit is checked and it is determined that no deterioration or damage hasoccurred due to
24、 the over-temperature conditions.4 UL 22024.1 All the requirements within UL 2202 are applicable as well as the requirements in this supplement.4.2 The requirements in 4.2.1 provide for an alternative approach to the requirements in clause 13.2 ofUL 2202.4.2.1 The output cable to the electric vehicl
25、e shall be of any type, suitably insulated for the output voltageof the charger and the conductors shall be suitably sized for the normal rated current involved.5 Risk Assessment5.1 The following requirements are additions to the UL 2202 standard and shall apply to all liquid cooledcharging systems.
26、5.2 A risk assessment of the charging system shall be performed. This risk assessment shall take intoconsideration all hazards and their root causes, as well as addressing faults within the unit that couldresult in a hazard. Risk mitigation is the primary means for addressing risks associated with t
27、he liquidcooling aspect of the charging system.5.3 To mitigate the occurrence of a risk, monitoring systems may be used that will adjust current,shutdown current flow, or other actions to reduce the possibility of a hazard from occurring. The riskassessment shall take into consideration all monitori
28、ng system failures that could result in a hazardouscondition, over temperature condition, or in a condition that could stress insulation and create a situationin which additional stresses could cause a hazard in subsequent use of the system. The risk assessmentshould also address single fault condit
29、ions within the systems to insure that false readings and the likewill not create the same hazardous situations as a full system failure. See 5.7. Additionally, considerationsshall be given to insure the charging system equipment is capable of adequately monitoring andcontrolling the health of the s
30、ystem without being blinded or impaired by the inaccuracy or failure of othersystems.5.4 Examples of monitoring systems that are considered to be applicable to liquid cooled chargingsystems are shown below. This list shall not be considered all-inclusive and other options are availablebased on desig

33、anufacturer.5.5 Compliance is determined through a review of the design and the overall system, including thefunctional safety evaluation of section 6 and the tests in this supplement.5.6 An analysis of potential hazards, due to component/monitoring system faults (including an FMEA) oroperation para
34、meter faults, shall be conducted on the liquid cooled charging systems electrical system,including any monitoring systems as needed, to determine that events that could lead to a hazardouscondition have been identified and addressed through design or other means. Documents that can beused as guidanc
35、e for the safety analysis include:a) The Standard for Analysis Techniques for System Reliability - Procedure for Failure Modeand Effects Analysis (FMEA), IEC 60812;b) The Standard for Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), IEC 61025;c) The Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in Design (Design FMEA), Pot
36、ential FailureMode and Effects Analysis in Manufacturing and Assembly Processes (Process FMEA), SAEJ1739; andd) The Procedures for Performing a Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis, MIL-STD-1629A.Other risk assessment standards that provide equivalent analysis methods, assessment means, a
37、ndcoordination are also acceptable.5.7 When conducting the analysis of 5.6, active devices shall not be relied upon for critical safety unless:a) They are provided with a redundant passive protection device;b) They are provided with redundant active protection that remains functional and energizedup
38、on loss of power/failure of the first level active protection;c) They are determined to fail safe upon loss of power to the active circuit; ord) They are part of a protective circuit that has been shown to comply with an appropriateFunctional Safety evaluation of section 6, with a safety level defin
39、ed by a corresponding hazardand risk analysis.STANDARD NUMBER: UL 2202 -4-UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL5.8 Redundancy in monitoring systems shall also be considered to insure proper monitoring and controlof the charging syst
40、em equipment liquid cooling means. For example, a unit installed in a cold climate mayexperience reduced liquid flow due to gelling of the coolant. The temperature monitoring may provideacceptable results when monitoring the coolant temperature in the reservoir but there is still an issue dueto the
41、restricted coolant flow. If the coolant flow is not being monitored, the system can be fooled intothinking things are fine when in fact a potentially hazardous condition could be developing. Redundancyof systems measuring the same or different parameters but leading to the same risk mitigation may b
42、erequired if determined by the risk assessment.6 Functional Safety Evaluation6.1 The following requirements are additions to the UL 2202 standard and shall apply to all liquid cooledcharging systems.6.2 For all components or systems that are considered critical to safety by the risk assessment of se
