METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING AIR CONDITIONING DEVICE OF ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17872840 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING AIR CONDITIONING DEVICE OF ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for controlling the air conditioning device of an electrified vehicle. Here are the key points:
- The method involves determining whether an active air flap is closed in response to an operation signal of the electrified vehicle's active air flap.
- When the electric compressor of the air conditioner is operated and the active air flap is closed, the method controls the opening of an intake door in the air conditioning device.
- Opening the intake door increases the amount of internal circulating air within the air conditioner.
- As the amount of internal circulating air increases, the method decreases the speed of the electric compressor.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This method can be applied to electrified vehicles with air conditioning systems to improve energy efficiency and optimize the cooling performance.
- It can be used in electric cars, hybrid vehicles, or any other electrified vehicle with an air conditioning system.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method addresses the challenge of maintaining optimal cooling performance while minimizing energy consumption in electrified vehicles.
- By controlling the air flap and intake door, the method ensures efficient use of internal circulating air and reduces the workload on the electric compressor.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved energy efficiency: By increasing the amount of internal circulating air, the method reduces the need for the electric compressor to work at high speeds, resulting in energy savings.
- Enhanced cooling performance: The method optimizes the air conditioning system by adjusting the air flap and intake door, leading to improved cooling performance inside the vehicle.
- Reduced environmental impact: The energy efficiency improvements achieved through this method contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint of electrified vehicles.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for controlling an air conditioning device of an electrified vehicle includes determining, by a controller, whether an active air flap is closed in response to an operation signal of the active air flap of the electrified vehicle, when an electric compressor provided in an air conditioner of the air conditioning device of the electrified vehicle is operated, when the active air flap is closed, controlling, by the controller, opening of an intake door provided in the air conditioning device to increase an amount of internal circulating air of the air conditioner, and when the amount of the internal circulating air of the air conditioner is increased, decreasing, by the controller, a speed of the electric compressor.
