TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric vehicles, in particular to an electric vehicle thermal management system and method based on R290 air supplement and enthalpy increase. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the development of electric vehicles is very rapid, and the market share is rapidly increasing. However, the power battery in the electric vehicle has very strict requirements on temperature, especially for lithium electric vehicles. When the ambient temperature is lower than 0℃, the internal resistance of the power electric vehicle becomes large, at this time, there is a problem of low discharge power and inability to charge normally. When the ambient temperature is too high, the internal chemical reaction of the power battery is intensified, at this time, there is an abnormal working problem, and even the risk of fire and explosion. When the electric vehicle is running at a high speed, the power battery needs to provide a large output power to the driving motor, which often generates heat and causes the temperature of the power battery to rise. Therefore, the electric vehicle is equipped with an electric vehicle thermal management control device. When the temperature of the power electric vehicle is too high, it is cooled; when the temperature of the power electric vehicle is too low, it is heated to control the temperature range of the power electric vehicle more evenly.
[0003] At present, the thermal management mode of the electric vehicle usually adopts a single heat dissipation or heating thermal management mode. When heat dissipation is needed, the cooling medium used for heat dissipation is mostly air, resulting in low cooling efficiency. When heating is needed, independent thermal management is usually used, such as PTC heating, the PTC heating efficiency of which is less than 1, which increases the power consumption and the cost, and also has the risk of thermal runaway, resulting in low thermal management efficiency of the electric vehicle.
