HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONER FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240092139 titled 'HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONER FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioner (HVAC) system for an electric vehicle, including a compressor, a four-way reversing valve, and two heat exchangers.
- The compressor compresses a refrigerant.
- The four-way reversing valve connects to four flow paths, including a discharge end and a suction end of the compressor.
- The first heat exchanger can operate as a condenser or an evaporator based on the refrigerant circulation direction.
- The second heat exchanger is connected to the first heat exchanger and the four-way reversing valve, also operating as a condenser or an evaporator based on the refrigerant circulation direction.
Potential Applications
The HVAC system can be used in electric vehicles to provide efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning for occupants.
Problems Solved
1. Efficiently controlling the temperature inside an electric vehicle. 2. Optimizing the use of refrigerant in the HVAC system.
Benefits
1. Improved comfort for occupants. 2. Energy-efficient operation. 3. Enhanced performance of the HVAC system.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Efficient HVAC System for Electric Vehicles: Enhancing Passenger Comfort and Energy Efficiency"
