Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile air conditioning, and in particular to a vehicle air conditioning system and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the national economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the number of highways and air-conditioned buses has increased rapidly. As a common mode of travel, people have higher and higher demands for the comfort of buses. Bus air conditioning plays a very important role in creating a comfortable environment in the car, protecting the health of drivers and passengers, and improving the working conditions of drivers. Therefore, the performance of bus air conditioning has become an important basis for evaluating bus comfort. However, due to the large size of passenger vehicles, thin insulation layer, many doors and windows, high passenger density, and difficult airflow organization and distribution, the thermal insulation performance is poor, the heat and humidity load is large, and the temperature and airflow balance in the car is poor.
[0003] Due to structural limitations, bus air conditioners are often placed on the top of the bus, and the air supply ducts and outlets are also installed on the upper left and right sides of the bus to provide cooling and heating for the interior environment. In addition, due to national energy-saving and environmental protection requirements, the proportion of new energy buses is increasing. The role of air conditioners is not only limited to providing cooling and heating for the interior environment, but also takes into account battery cooling and vehicle thermal management. Therefore, a multifunctional and energy-saving air conditioner has become a development trend.
[0004] The existing passenger car air conditioning unit structure can meet customers' demand for air conditioning products to a certain extent, but it still has obvious defects:
[0005] 1. When the vehicle is relatively long, especially for some special vehicles such as double-decker vehicles, the air duct installation of some areas is blocked due to structural limitations. In this case, it is difficult to achieve uniform distribution of temperature and air flow regulation in the vehicle, especially in the cab position far away from the air outlet of the air conditioner, which is not conducive to improving the working environment of the driver;
[0006] 2. Existing bus air conditioners are difficult to fully meet the requirements of both cooling and heating, such as in-car cooling + battery heating, in-car heating + battery cooling, etc.
[0007] 3. When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the heat absorbed in the car can only be discharged outside the car. When there is a need for heating, it can only be solved by electric heating or fuel heating. However, the use of electric heating or fuel heating will significantly increase the energy consumption of the whole vehicle.
[0008] 4. When heating multiple areas or components, the heat demand is constantly changing. The control system will directly meet the heating demand by switching the valves, but this control method will cause energy fluctuations and cause system instability. Summary of the invention

[0078] The air-conditioning system of the present invention installs a plate heat exchanger between the compressor and the four-way valve, which can be used to recover the heat of the compressor exhaust and then transfer the heat to the battery side or the radiator side through the refrigerant. When the air-conditioning system operates in the cooling mode, the heat in the compressor exhaust is preferentially used to meet the heat demand of some areas of the vehicle without the need for electric heating or fuel heating to cause additional energy consumption of the entire vehicle. At the same time, the application of the plate heat exchanger increases the heat exchange effect of the condenser, further improving the energy efficiency of the entire vehicle.
[0079] The air-conditioning system has added an electric proportional three-way valve between the compressor and the four-way valve. This valve can accurately adjust the refrigerant flow entering the plate heat exchanger according to energy requirements, control the plate heat exchanger water temperature, and make the heating of the entire vehicle stable and reliable.
[0080] The air-conditioning system has added the use of single coolers between the evaporation side and the condensation side. This can solve the problem that when the air duct installation of the vehicle is long or the vehicle has a special structure and the cold or heat is difficult to deliver, the single cooler can be used to supply cooling and heating to these areas separately. The number of single coolers can also be increased as needed to meet different functional requirements.
[0081] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several changes and improvements can be made without departing from the overall concept of the present invention, which should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
