AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional vehicle heat pumps occupy significant space due to the large number of components, particularly fluidic connectors and desiccant bottles, limiting design flexibility and increasing size and weight.

Method used

A closure plate for the heat treatment module that integrates fluidic connectors and desiccant bottles, forming a wall of the bottle, reduces the size by grouping connectors and improving retention, while using sub-plates for assembly and sealing, and optimizing thermal efficiency.

Benefits of technology

Reduces the size and weight of the heat pump, enhances thermal efficiency, and lowers manufacturing costs by simplifying assembly and reducing energy consumption, particularly in electric vehicles.
