Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric vehicles, and particularly to an in-vehicle indoor heating device, an indirect heat pump air conditioner for electric vehicles, and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] Since electric vehicles lack an internal combustion engine, the heating demand of the vehicle air conditioner in winter is one of the reasons for the reduction of the cruising range of electric vehicles. Heat pump technology seems to be one of the excellent solutions to improve the winter cruising range of electric vehicles. There are basically two routes for heat pump air conditioners: indirect heat pumps and direct heat pumps. Both have their respective advantages and disadvantages. Among them, the disadvantage of the indirect heat pump compared to the direct heat pump is low heating energy efficiency.

[0003] Currently, automotive heat pump air conditioning technology is basically divided into two routes: air PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) + direct heat pump or water PTC + indirect heat pump. Among them, the direct heat pump uses high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant to directly heat the passenger compartment; the indirect heat pump uses high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant to heat the coolant, and then the coolant circulation circuit transports the heat to the passenger compartment to achieve in-vehicle heating. Each of the two heat pump technology routes has its own advantages and disadvantages. The indirect heat pump has the following deficiencies: under the same heating conditions, the heating performance of the indirect heat pump is worse than that of the direct heat pump by about 15%.

[0004] As Figure 1 shown, is a typical heat pump air conditioner for electric vehicles, specifically including: a refrigerant circulation circuit, an air-side circulation, and a coolant circulation circuit. This system can achieve heating and cooling functions in multiple modes, for example, refrigeration, battery cooling, dehumidification, heating and dehumidification, motor waste heat recovery, defrosting and demisting, and defrosting.

[0005] The refrigerant circuit includes: 1. Electric compressor; 2. Water-cooled condenser; 3. Electronic expansion valve 1; 5. Outdoor heat exchanger; 6. Cooling fan; 7. Electronic expansion valve 2; 8. Chiller (water chiller); 9. Two-way valve; 10. Electronic expansion valve 3; 4. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning); 11. Evaporator; 12. Gas-liquid separator; temperature and pressure sensor; the coolant circulation circuit includes: 15. Heater core; 13. Water pump; 2. Water-cooled condenser; 14. Water PTC; air-side heating circulation: the air inside the vehicle enters from the HVAC return air duct, passes through the evaporator and the heater core, and finally blows out from the air outlet. The disadvantages of this typical heat pump air conditioner are also relatively obvious, such as low heating performance, and although the energy consumption is higher than that of the water PTC, it is worse than that of the direct heat pump in terms of performance.
