Heat Pump System for Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17951269 titled 'Heat Pump System for Vehicle

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a heat pump system for a vehicle that includes multiple cooling apparatuses and an air conditioning device.

  • The heat pump system is designed to control the temperature of various components in the vehicle.
  • The first cooling apparatus circulates a coolant in a coolant line to control the temperature of an electrical component.
  • The second cooling apparatus circulates a coolant in a coolant line to control the temperature of a battery module.
  • The third cooling apparatus circulates a coolant in a coolant line to control the temperature of an autonomous driving controller.
  • The air conditioning device circulates a refrigerant along a refrigerant line to control the indoor temperature of the vehicle.
  • The air conditioning device includes a compressor, a condenser, a first expansion valve, and an evaporator connected through the refrigerant line.
  • The air conditioning device also includes a first chiller, a second chiller, and a connection line.


Original Abstract Submitted

An embodiment heat pump system for a vehicle includes a first cooling apparatus that circulates a first coolant in a first coolant line to control a temperature of an electrical component, a second cooling apparatus that circulates a second coolant in a second coolant line to control a temperature of a battery module, a third cooling apparatus that circulates a third coolant in a third coolant line to control a temperature of an autonomous driving controller, and an air conditioning device that circulates a refrigerant along a first refrigerant line to control an indoor temperature of the vehicle, the air conditioning device including a compressor, a condenser, a first expansion valve, and an evaporator all connected through the first refrigerant line, and further including a first chiller, a second chiller, and a connection line.
