VEHICLE HEATING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18150978 titled 'VEHICLE HEATING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a heating system for a vehicle that includes both a heat pump and an electric resistance heater. A controller calculates a parameter to determine the importance of noise and efficiency based on various factors, such as vehicle location and charging status. The controller then operates the heat pump and electric resistance heater to meet the cabin's heat demand while considering the relative importance of noise and efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted
A heating system for a vehicle includes both a heat pump and an electric resistance heater. A controller calculates a parameter which indicates the relative importance of noise and efficiency based on vehicle location, charging status, time of day, etc. Based on the parameter, the controller operates the heat pump and the electric resistance heater to satisfy a cabin heat demand in a manner that reflects the relative importance of the attributes.
