[0078] A vehicle comprising the heat pump air conditioning system.

[0079] The heat pump air conditioning system disclosed in the application is based on a direct + indirect heat pump air conditioning system architecture; high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged by the compressor 1 firstly enters the built-in condenser in the air conditioning HVAC box assembly.

[0080] When heating is needed in winter, the mixed air door opens the hot air passage, the airflow blown by the air conditioning HVAC blower flows through the built-in condenser core, exchanges heat with the high-temperature refrigerant gas, is heated and sent to the vehicle cabin, and has the effect of heating the passenger cabin.

[0081] The refrigerant is cooled by cold air in the built-in condenser core, and then condensed into a medium-temperature refrigerant liquid that flows out of the built-in condenser:

[0082] 1. flows into the external evaporative condenser, and is vaporized under the throttling action of the electronic expansion valve to absorb heat from the external air, and then is sucked into the compressor 1 to complete the refrigerant cycle.

[0091] The above main components, connecting pipelines between system components, temperature and pressure sensors and control module software constitute the entire thermal management system, and various thermal management function mode requirements of the whole vehicle can be realized.
