HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240131900 titled 'HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that performs dehumidification heating operation using front and rear air conditioning units, as well as cooling operation for a battery using a refrigeration cycle circuit.
- The system includes front and rear evaporators that receive liquid-phase refrigerant for cooling operation.
- A heating circuit supplies high temperature liquid heated by an electric heater to front and rear heater cores.
- The warmed air from the evaporators is then supplied to a passenger compartment.
- A battery cooling liquid is cooled by a heat exchanger and delivered to the battery for cooling.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other battery-powered systems where efficient cooling and heating are required.
Problems Solved
This system solves the problem of efficiently cooling and heating both the passenger compartment and the battery in a vehicle, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the battery.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved battery performance, increased passenger comfort, and overall energy efficiency in the vehicle.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include electric vehicle manufacturers, battery technology companies, and HVAC system suppliers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be similar systems used in electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles to cool and heat the battery and passenger compartment simultaneously.
Unanswered Questions
How does this system impact the overall energy consumption of the vehicle?
This system could potentially increase energy consumption due to the additional cooling and heating operations for the battery and passenger compartment. However, the efficiency of the system could offset some of these energy costs.
What are the maintenance requirements for this system?
The maintenance requirements for this system could include regular checks on the refrigerant levels, heat exchangers, and electric heaters to ensure optimal performance. Regular servicing may be required to prevent any malfunctions or breakdowns.
Original Abstract Submitted
when front and rear air conditioning units perform dehumidification heating operation, and when a battery is to be cooled, a refrigeration cycle circuit performs cooling operation and supplies a liquid-phase refrigerant to front and rear evaporators and a battery cooling heat exchanger. a heating circuit supplies a high temperature liquid heated by an electric heater to front and rear heater cores. air cooled by the front and rear evaporators is warmed by the front and rear heater cores and supplied to a passenger compartment. a battery cooling liquid cooled by the battery cooling heat exchanger is delivered to the battery and cools the battery.
