Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric vehicle thermal management, and particularly relates to a heat pump refrigerant circulating device and an electric vehicle thermal management system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The main task of the thermal management system of an electric vehicle is to provide air conditioning refrigeration or warm air heating for the passengers in the cabin, and to ensure that the electrical systems such as the battery pack and the drive motor system work within a reasonable temperature range. However, the thermal management system of the electric vehicle in the prior art is quite different from the thermal management system of a traditional fuel vehicle.

[0003] The existing battery thermal management methods of the electric vehicle mainly include the following:

[0004] 1. Only direct cooling mode is used without heating function;

[0005] 2. Direct cooling and air heating modes are used. Since the air heating mode has a small heat exchange coefficient, a small heat capacity, and a slow temperature rising speed, it is not conducive to the rapid temperature control of the power battery. Moreover, the heating module and the fan are directly placed in the battery pack, which can easily cause thermal runaway and increase the use risk.

[0006] 3. Liquid heating mode is used, but the heat source generally uses PTC, which is only suitable for mild low-temperature environments. Moreover, excessive consumption of the battery pack power can increase the energy consumption of the whole vehicle, greatly reduce the system efficiency, and greatly reduce the driving range.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a thermal management system which saves energy consumption, has a simple refrigerant circulating system structure, and reduces manufacturing cost to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides an electric vehicle thermal management system. The problem that the heat source of the electric vehicle in the prior art uses PTC to excessively consume the power of the battery pack, which increases the energy consumption of the whole vehicle and greatly reduces the driving range, is solved.

By adding an external condenser in series on the high-pressure side of the air conditioning circulation system of a traditional fuel vehicle, adding a refrigerant solenoid valve at the inlet of the external condenser, and adding a check valve at the outlet of the external condenser, a heat pump refrigerant circulation device is formed, which reduces the use of components, reduces the complexity of the heat pump refrigerant circulation device, saves development costs, and shortens the development cycle.
