HEAT PUMP SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a heat pump system for a vehicle that utilizes waste heat from electrical components and the battery module to adjust the temperature of the battery module and heat the vehicle interior.

Valve, first cooling apparatus, second cooling apparatus, and flow control line are included in the system.
Waste heat is selectively collected and used for heating the vehicle interior.
A single chiller exchanges heat between refrigerant and coolant to adjust the battery module temperature.
Multiple coolant flowing lines are formed by a single valve based on the selected mode of the vehicle.

Key Features and Innovation:

Utilizes waste heat from electrical components and battery module for heating the vehicle interior.
Adjusts battery module temperature using a single chiller.
Efficiently controls coolant flow with a single valve.
Provides a versatile system for adjusting temperature based on the vehicle's mode.

Potential Applications:

Electric vehicles
Hybrid vehicles
Automotive industry for energy efficiency

Problems Solved:

Efficient use of waste heat
Temperature control of the battery module
Heating the vehicle interior without additional energy consumption

Benefits:

Energy efficiency
Improved battery performance
Enhanced comfort for vehicle occupants

Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in electric and hybrid vehicles to improve energy efficiency and provide better temperature control for the battery module, leading to enhanced performance and comfort for users.

Questions about Heat Pump System for a Vehicle: 1. How does the system efficiently utilize waste heat from the electrical components and battery module? 2. What are the potential benefits of using a single chiller to adjust the battery module temperature in a vehicle?

Original Abstract Submitted

A heat pump system for a vehicle is configured by including a valve, a first cooling apparatus, a second cooling apparatus, and a flow control line, to be configured for adjusting a temperature of a battery module by use of a single chiller where a refrigerant and a coolant are heat-exchanged, selectively recollecting waste heat of the electrical component and the battery module and using the same for heating of the vehicle interior, and forming a plurality of coolant flowing lines by a single valve according to selected mode of the vehicle.
