[0002] The thermal management of today's pure electric vehicles can be divided into air conditioning cycle thermal management, battery cycle thermal management, motor and controller cycle thermal management, and these three parts are the core of the vehicle thermal management. The purpose of thermal management is to transfer heat according to the cold and heat load of each core component to meet the temperature requirements of each component. The air conditioning system thermal management mainly meets the cooling and heating needs of the passengers in the passenger compartment, and also has the functions of wind defrosting, defogging and dehumidification of the driver's cabin. Among them, the refrigeration function of the passenger compartment is very mature, and the optimization of energy saving effect is small. Low-temperature heating generally uses water heating PTC or air heating PTC heating, which has low efficiency and high energy consumption, and can account for about 35% of the vehicle energy consumption, resulting in a reduction of 20-30% in the range. Therefore, the heat pump air conditioning scheme is adopted to reduce energy consumption.
