Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermal management and multi-heat source integration technology for new energy vehicles, specifically relating to a multi-heat source complementary vehicle integrated thermal management system and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] Driven by the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction, energy reform in the transportation sector and the transformation from traditional fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles are in full swing. New energy vehicles not only need to meet the temperature control requirements of the passenger compartment, but also place more refined and stringent demands on the thermal management of modules such as batteries, motors, and electronic controls. Furthermore, in frigid environments, reduced evaporation pressure can degrade system performance and easily cause frost buildup on the outdoor heat exchanger, exacerbating range anxiety; in hot weather, if the heat exchanger cannot meet the heat exchange requirements, it will also cause a significant decline in system performance. How to further improve the performance of the vehicle's thermal management system while meeting the thermal management requirements of each component, fully utilize the vehicle's waste heat, minimize energy consumption, and effectively improve driving range is an urgent problem to be solved.

While optimal system performance and minimal energy consumption are typically the primary optimization goals, in some modes, the rate of achieving the operational objective becomes paramount.

Based on meeting the thermal management requirements of the passenger compartment, battery, motor, and electronic control components, this system utilizes a liquid-cooled heat exchanger, battery cooler, and a four-way water valve. In low-temperature conditions, it can utilize waste heat from the battery, motor, and electronic control components as a supplement to the ambient heat source, effectively increasing the system's evaporation pressure at low ambient temperatures and helping to delay the occurrence of frosting on the outdoor heat exchanger in winter. Furthermore, when the outdoor heat exchanger frosts, waste heat can be used for defrosting, reducing the impact of reverse-cycle defrosting on passenger comfort and the energy consumed by the hot-gas bypass defrosting compressor. In high-temperature conditions, the liquid-cooled heat exchanger supplements the gas cooler, assisting in heat dissipation from the outdoor heat exchanger. Additionally, the condensate from the indoor heat exchanger is atomized and sprayed onto the outdoor heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer, thereby reducing the refrigerant temperature at the outdoor heat exchanger outlet and improving the system's thermodynamic performance across all operating conditions. The system uses CO2 as the refrigerant, and in most operating conditions, it does not require auxiliary heating from a PTC heater, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the thermal management system and effectively alleviating anxiety about the reduction in driving range.

This method clarifies the on / off state of different components during thermal management system mode switching, as well as the refrigerant and coolant circuit flows under different modes. Furthermore, different modes correspond to different optimization objectives. For general, long-term operation modes, the optimization objective is optimal system performance and minimum energy consumption. Through multi-PID coupled control, rapid regulation of exhaust pressure, supply air temperature, passenger compartment temperature, and battery outlet water temperature is achieved under different modes, effectively improving the response speed of each control objective and realizing efficient system control. In defrosting, fast charging, and dehumidification modes, the optimization control objective is maximizing heat exchange, thereby effectively accelerating the achievement of mode operation objectives and shortening operating time.

[0094] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention also discloses a multi-heat-source complementary vehicle integrated thermal management control method, comprising the following steps:
[0095] S1 collects data on ambient temperature, passenger compartment temperature, battery temperature, motor temperature, electronic control temperature, whether the dehumidification button is on, and whether fast charging is on.
[0096] S2, select the startup mode type based on the collected data;
[0097] S3, according to the mode, determine the optimization target. If it is necessary to optimize the operating performance, set the target discharge pressure of the compressor, adjust the compressor speed through the first PID controller, and adjust the discharge pressure of the compressor. If the passenger compartment has thermal management requirements, set the target value of the passenger compartment temperature and the target value of the air supply temperature, adjust the opening of the first bidirectional full-way throttle valve (37) through the second PID controller, adjust the air supply temperature, adjust the indoor air supply volume through the third PID controller, and adjust the passenger compartment temperature. If the battery has thermal management requirements, set the target value of the battery outlet water temperature, adjust the opening of the second bidirectional full-way regulating valve (38) through the fourth PID controller, and adjust the outlet water temperature of the battery cooler.
[0098] S4. When all four adjustment values reach the target value, the thermal management system reaches a stable state. If the target value is not reached, the four PID controllers continue to be adjusted. If the system does not stop, the temperature and other parameters continue to be monitored in real time to complete the mode judgment and PID control.
[0099] In S1, the multi-heat-source complementary vehicle integrated thermal management architecture is based on the ambient temperature T. amb Crew cabin temperature T c Battery temperature T bat Motor temperature T mot Electrically controlled temperature T ec The difference between the outdoor heat exchanger evaporation temperature and the ambient temperature, ΔT ohe The system selects operating modes based on factors such as whether the dehumidification button is on and whether fast charging is on. These modes include: Mode 1: Cooling the passenger compartment and battery separately; Mode 2: Cooling the passenger compartment alone; Mode 3: Cooling the passenger compartment, battery, and motor / electronic control separately; Mode 4: Cooling the passenger compartment alone (water circuit in series); Mode 5: Cooling the battery alone; Mode 6: Compressor off: Battery naturally cools down; Mode 7: Battery heats up alone; Mode 8: Battery and motor / electronic control cool down; Mode 9: Compressor off: Motor / electronic control insulates the battery or cools the front of the battery; Mode 10: Passenger compartment heats up, battery cools down; Mode 11: Passenger compartment heats up alone; Mode 12: Passenger compartment and battery heat up separately; Mode 13: Passenger compartment heats up, battery and motor / electronic control cool down; Mode 14: Passenger compartment heats up alone (water circuit in series); Mode 15: Passenger compartment cooling and dehumidification; Mode 16: Passenger compartment heating and dehumidification; Mode 17: Defrosting; Mode 18: Battery fast charging; Mode 19: Quick start cooling; Mode 20: Shutdown and cold storage. The system is based on the following parameters: fast charging, dehumidification button on, and passenger compartment temperature T. c Battery temperature T bat Motor temperature T mot As the primary mode judgment condition, when the motor coolant circuit is running independently, the temperature of the motor electronic control determines whether the second water pump 15 needs to be turned on.
[0100] It should be noted that during actual vehicle operation, the temperatures of components such as the battery, motor, and electronic control are difficult to measure. Instead, the outlet water temperature on the coolant side of the battery heat exchanger and motor heat exchanger can be used for characterization.
[0101] Different modes have different optimization objectives. Generally, when the thermal management system is running, the optimization objective is to achieve the best system performance and the lowest energy consumption. At this time, the exhaust pressure needs to be controlled to the optimal exhaust pressure under the corresponding operating conditions. However, when the mode is a short-term operation such as fast charging, defrosting, or dehumidification, the optimization objective should be to achieve the operating purpose as quickly as possible. At this time, the compressor speed should be controlled to run at full speed to achieve the maximum heat exchange.
[0102] See Figure 2 Based on the mode selection, the multi-heat-source complementary vehicle integrated thermal management system uses PID control logic, including exhaust pressure control, supply air temperature control, passenger compartment temperature control, and battery cooler outlet water temperature control. PID1 is the first PID controller, which is the exhaust pressure controller. The input is the difference between the exhaust pressure and the set target, and the output is the compressor speed. PID2 is the second PID controller, which is the indoor heat exchanger supply air temperature controller. The input is the difference between the supply air temperature and the set target, and the output is the opening degree of the first bidirectional full-way throttle valve 37. PID3 is the third PID controller, which is the passenger compartment temperature controller. The input is the difference between the passenger compartment temperature and the set target, and the output is the air volume of the indoor fan 10, i.e., the fan speed. PID4 is the battery cooler 7 outlet water temperature controller. The input is the difference between the outlet water temperature and the set target, and the output is the opening degree of the second bidirectional full-way throttle valve 38.
[0103] After the thermal management system is started, each sensor monitors the temperature and humidity in real time, and selects the appropriate mode and operates accordingly. When the mode needs to optimize system performance, the compressor speed 1 is used to control the exhaust pressure; when the passenger compartment has thermal management requirements, the first bidirectional full-way throttle valve 37 controls the air supply temperature of the indoor heat exchanger, and the air volume of the indoor fan 10 controls the passenger compartment temperature; when the battery has thermal management requirements, the second bidirectional full-way throttle valve 38 controls the outlet water temperature of the battery cooler 7.
[0104] The specific adjustment process for each stage is as follows: The process of adjusting the compressor speed and controlling the compressor discharge pressure through the first PID controller is as follows: According to the selected mode, the optimization target of the mode is determined. If it is the optimal discharge pressure, the target discharge pressure of the compressor is set, and the compressor speed is adjusted through the first PID controller to control the compressor discharge pressure until the compressor discharge pressure reaches the set value.
[0105] The process of adjusting the passenger compartment temperature by regulating the opening of the first bidirectional full-throttle valve 37 by the second PID controller and adjusting the indoor air volume by the third PID controller is as follows: Based on the mode selection, it is determined whether there is a demand in the passenger compartment. If there is a demand, the target values for the passenger compartment temperature and the air supply temperature are set simultaneously. The opening of the first bidirectional full-throttle valve 37 is adjusted by the second PID controller until the air supply temperature reaches the target value. The indoor air volume is adjusted by the third PID controller until the passenger compartment temperature reaches the target value.
[0106] The process of adjusting the opening of the second bidirectional full-pass throttle valve 38 through the fourth PID controller is as follows: Based on the mode selection, it is determined whether the battery has a cooling or heating requirement. If so, the target value of the outlet water temperature is set, and the opening of the second bidirectional full-pass throttle valve 38 is adjusted through the fourth PID controller until the outlet water temperature reaches the target value.
[0107] Furthermore, when PID i When using it, first run t with a fixed value. i Over time, PID feedback adjustments are then made successively to effectively improve the system's response speed to the control target.
[0108] The multi-heat-source complementary integrated vehicle thermal management architecture can fully utilize the waste heat of various vehicle components. Specific implementation examples of different waste heat recovery and auxiliary cooling methods are described, with the mode conditions described starting from a shutdown state. Subsequent mode judgment conditions are only examples; specific temperature values can be modified by industry personnel based on the actual system.
[0109] See Figure 3 This is Mode 7, a flowchart illustrating the recovery of waste heat from the motor and electronic control system via a liquid-cooled heat exchanger. When each temperature meets (-10 ℃)... <T bat <5℃&|T c -T c,t |<3℃ ) || T bat When the temperature is below -10℃, fast charging is not enabled, and the dehumidification button is not activated, the system enters mode seven for independent battery heating. Further heating occurs when the temperature reaches 50℃. <T mot &50℃ <T ecAt this time, the waste heat of the motor control is recovered through the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6: the second solenoid valve 22, the third solenoid valve 23, the fourth solenoid valve 24, and the tenth solenoid valve 30 are opened, the second bidirectional full-way throttle valve 38 is throttled, the a and d ports of the water circuit four-way valve 20 are connected, the b and c ports of the water circuit first three-way valve 40 are connected, the b and c ports of the water circuit second three-way valve 41 are connected, the second solenoid valve 32, the third solenoid valve 33, and the fourth solenoid valve 34 are opened, and to avoid closing the volume, the seventh solenoid valve 27 and the third bidirectional full-way throttle valve 39 can be opened, the remaining valves and interfaces are closed, and the indoor fan 10 is stopped. The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows to the battery cooler 7 and the battery coolant for heat exchange. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the second bidirectional full-throttle valve 38 and is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state. The CO2 from the outlet of the throttle valve flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4 and then flows to the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to exchange heat with the ambient air. Subsequently, it exchanges heat with the high-temperature coolant in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6. After absorbing heat, the CO2 flows through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4, and returns to the compressor 1. At this time, in the battery coolant circuit, the battery coolant, driven by the first water pump 12, flows to the battery cooler 7 to absorb heat from the CO2. The heated coolant flows to the battery heat exchanger 13 to release heat, thereby raising the battery temperature. After heat exchange, the coolant flows back to the first water pump 12. In the motor coolant circuit, the coolant, driven by the second water pump 15, flows in two paths through the motor radiator 16 and the electronic control heat exchanger 17. The heated coolant flows into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 to release heat to the CO2. If T amb >10 ℃, the a and c ports of the second three-way valve 41 in the water circuit are connected. The motor coolant after the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 releases heat continues to flow to the front-end radiator 9 and air for heat exchange. After the heat exchange is completed, the coolant flows back to the second water pump 15. If T amb At temperatures below -10℃, the released coolant flows directly back to the second water pump 15, achieving a higher coolant temperature in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 7. This cycle repeats, utilizing the heat generated by the motor and electronic control system. CO2 in the outdoor heat exchanger 5 absorbs heat from the environment, while CO2 in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 absorbs heat from the motor coolant, both contributing to the system's heat absorption. Therefore, the heat exchange requirement of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 is reduced, and the coolant temperature flowing into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 is higher than the ambient temperature, effectively increasing the evaporation pressure. Waste heat recovery fully utilizes the previously dissipated waste heat from the motor and electronic control system, further improving the system's COP. At this point, the system optimization focuses on achieving optimal system performance while ensuring battery discharge performance. Therefore, PID1 and PID4 are activated to control the exhaust pressure and the outlet water temperature of the battery cooler 7, respectively.
[0110] See Figure 4 This is Mode 10, a flowchart illustrating waste heat recovery from the battery via a battery cooler and waste heat recovery from the motor and electronic control via a liquid-cooled heat exchanger; when all temperatures meet 35℃... <Tbat <50℃&T c <T c,t -3℃&T mot When the temperature is below 70℃, the dehumidification button is not activated, and fast charging is not in progress, the system enters mode 10 for cabin heating and battery cooling.

The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows sequentially to the indoor second heat exchanger 3, the indoor first heat exchanger 2, and the air for heat exchange. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the first bidirectional full-throttle valve 37 and is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state. One path of the CO2 from the outlet of the throttle valve flows into the battery cooler 7 for heat exchange with the high-temperature coolant, while the other path flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4 and then to the outdoor heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange with the air. It then exchanges heat with the motor coolant in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6. After absorbing heat, the two paths of CO2 merge together and flow sequentially through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4 before returning to the compressor 1. At this time, the two coolant circuits operate independently. The coolant in the battery coolant circuit flows through the battery heat exchanger 13 to absorb heat from the battery. After absorbing heat and heating up, the coolant flows through the first water pump 12 into the battery cooler 7 to release heat to CO2. The cooled coolant then flows back to the battery heat exchanger 13. In the motor coolant circuit, the coolant, driven by the second water pump 15, flows in two paths through the motor radiator 16 and the electronic control heat exchanger 17. After absorbing heat and heating up, the coolant flows into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 to release heat to CO2. If T... amb >10℃, when ports a and c of the second three-way valve 41 in the water circuit are connected, the coolant after the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 releases heat continues to flow to the front radiator 9 and exchange heat with the air. After the heat exchange is completed, the coolant flows back to the second water pump 15. If T ambAt temperatures below -10℃, the released coolant flows directly back to the second water pump 15, achieving a higher coolant temperature in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 7. This cycle repeats, utilizing the heat generated by the battery and motor control system. CO2 in the outdoor heat exchanger 5 absorbs heat from the environment, CO2 in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 absorbs heat from the motor control coolant, and CO2 in the battery cooler 7 absorbs heat from the battery coolant, collectively serving as the system's heat absorption. This reduces the heat exchange requirement of the outdoor heat exchanger 5, and the coolant temperature flowing into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 is higher than the ambient temperature, effectively increasing the evaporation pressure. Waste heat recovery fully utilizes the battery's waste heat and the previously dissipated waste heat from the motor control system, further improving the system's COP. At this point, the system optimization prioritizes optimal system performance while ensuring passenger comfort and battery safety. Therefore, PID1, PID2, PID3, and PID4 are activated to control the exhaust pressure, supply air temperature, passenger compartment temperature, and battery cooler 7's outlet water temperature, respectively.

The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows sequentially to the indoor second heat exchanger 3, the indoor first heat exchanger 2, and the air for heat exchange. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the first bidirectional full-throttle valve 37, where it is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state.

It then exchanges heat with the motor coolant in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6. After absorbing heat, the CO2 flows sequentially through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4, returning to the compressor 1. At this time, only the motor coolant circuit is operating in the coolant circuit. Driven by the second water pump 15, the motor coolant flows in two paths through the motor radiator 16 and the electronically controlled heat exchanger 17. The coolant, after absorbing heat and increasing in temperature, flows into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 to release heat to the CO2.

The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 at the compressor 1 outlet splits into two paths. One path flows sequentially to the indoor second heat exchanger 3, the indoor first heat exchanger 2, and the air for heat exchange. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the first bidirectional full-throttle valve 37 and is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state. The other path flows to the battery cooler 7 and exchanges heat with the battery coolant. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the second bidirectional full-throttle valve 38 and is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state. The two CO2 streams merge and flow through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4 before flowing to the outdoor heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange with the air. Then, it exchanges heat with the high-temperature coolant in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6. After absorbing heat, the CO2 flows sequentially through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4 before returning to the compressor 1.

The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows sequentially to the indoor second heat exchanger 3, the indoor first heat exchanger 2, and the air for heat exchange. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the first bidirectional full-way throttle valve 37 and is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state. Part of the CO2 from the throttle valve outlet flows into the battery cooler 7 for heat exchange with the high-temperature coolant, while the other part flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4 and then through the outdoor heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange with the ambient air. After absorbing heat, the CO2 merges and flows sequentially through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4 before returning to the compressor 1. At this point, the coolant circuit is connected in series. The coolant flows through the battery heat exchanger 13 to absorb the heat generated by the battery, then flows through the second water pump 15 and splits into two paths, flowing through the motor radiator 16 and the electronic control heat exchanger 17. After absorbing heat and increasing in temperature, the coolant releases heat to CO2 in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6. At this time, the battery and motor temperatures are both relatively high. After heat exchange in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6, the coolant flows to the front-end radiator 9 to exchange heat with the air, ensuring the cooling effect of the components. It then flows through the first water pump 12 into the battery cooler 7 to release heat to CO2. The cooled coolant then flows back to the battery heat exchanger 13, repeating the cycle to utilize the heat generated by the battery, motor, and electronic control system. The CO2 in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 and battery cooler 7 absorbs heat from the coolant, which serves as the system's heat absorption. The temperature of the coolant flowing into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 and battery cooler 7 is higher than the ambient temperature, which can effectively increase the evaporation pressure. By recovering waste heat, the heat originally dissipated from the front-end motor and electronic control system and the heat from the battery that needs to be cooled are fully utilized, further improving the system's COP. At this point, the system optimization is to achieve optimal system performance while ensuring passenger comfort and battery safety. Therefore, PID1, PID2, PID3 and PID4 are activated to control the exhaust pressure, air supply temperature, passenger compartment temperature and the outlet water temperature of the battery cooler 7, respectively.
[0114] See Figure 8The flowchart shows the process of recovering waste heat from the battery, motor, and electronic control system using a liquid-cooled heat exchanger.

The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows sequentially to the indoor second heat exchanger 3, the indoor first heat exchanger 2, and the air for heat exchange. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the first bidirectional full-throttle valve 37, where it is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state. The CO2 from the throttle valve outlet flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4, then flows to the outdoor heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange with the air. It then exchanges heat with the high-temperature coolant in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6. After absorbing heat, the CO2 flows sequentially through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4, returning to the compressor 1. At this point, the coolant circuit is connected in series. Driven by the first water pump 12, the coolant flows sequentially through the battery cooler 7, the battery heat exchanger 13, and the second water pump 15, then splits into two streams flowing through the motor radiator 16 and the electronic control heat exchanger 17. The coolant, after absorbing heat and increasing in temperature, flows into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 to release heat to the CO2. If T... amb >10℃, the a and c ports of the second three-way valve 41 in the water circuit are connected. The coolant after the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 releases heat continues to flow to the front radiator 9 and exchange heat with the air. After the heat exchange is completed, the coolant flows back to the first water pump 12. If T ambAt temperatures below -10℃, the released coolant flows directly back to the first water pump 12, achieving a higher coolant temperature in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 7. This cycle repeats, utilizing the heat generated by the battery and motor control system. CO2 in the outdoor heat exchanger 5 absorbs heat from the environment, while CO2 in the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 absorbs heat from the coolant, both contributing to the system's heat absorption. This reduces the heat exchange requirement of the outdoor heat exchanger 5, and the coolant temperature flowing into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 is higher than the ambient temperature, effectively increasing the evaporation pressure. Waste heat recovery fully utilizes the previously dissipated waste heat from the battery and motor control system, further improving the system's COP. At this point, the system optimization prioritizes optimal performance and passenger comfort; therefore, PID1, PID2, and PID3 are activated to control the exhaust pressure, supply air temperature, and passenger cabin temperature, respectively.

The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows to the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange with the motor coolant, and then flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange with the air. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4 and splits into two paths. One path is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state by the first bidirectional full-throttle valve 37. The CO2 from the outlet of the throttle valve flows into the indoor first heat exchanger 2 and the indoor second heat exchanger 3 in sequence for heat exchange with the air. The other path is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state by the second bidirectional full-throttle valve 38, and then flows to the battery cooler 7 for heat exchange with the battery coolant. After absorbing heat, the two CO2 paths merge and flow through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4 in sequence, returning to the compressor 1. In the battery coolant circuit, the battery coolant flows to the battery cooler 7 under the action of the first water pump 12. After releasing heat and cooling down, the coolant flows to the battery heat exchanger 13 to absorb heat, and then flows back to the first water pump 12. In the motor coolant circuit, driven by the second water pump 15, the coolant flows in two paths through the motor radiator 16 and the electronic control heat exchanger 17. After absorbing heat and heating up, the coolant flows into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 to continue absorbing heat from the high-temperature CO2 at the compressor 1 outlet. Then, it exchanges heat with the air through the front-end radiator 9, and the cooled coolant flows back to the second water pump 15, repeating the cycle. This achieves heat dissipation from the motor and electronic control system while simultaneously aiding in CO2 heat release through the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6, reducing the heat load on the outdoor heat exchanger 5, lowering the CO2 temperature at the outdoor heat exchanger outlet, and improving the system COP. In addition, when the air passes through the indoor heat exchanger for cooling, condensate will be released. Spraying the condensate atomized onto the outdoor heat exchanger can enhance heat exchange in the outdoor heat exchanger and further reduce the CO2 temperature at the outdoor heat exchanger outlet. At this point, the system optimization is to achieve optimal system performance while ensuring passenger comfort and battery safety. Therefore, PID1, PID2, PID3 and PID4 are activated to control the exhaust pressure, air supply temperature, passenger compartment temperature and the outlet water temperature of the battery cooler 7, respectively.

High-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from compressor outlet 1 flows into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 to exchange heat with the coolant, then flows to the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to exchange heat with the air. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4, where it is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state by the first bidirectional full-way throttling valve 37. The CO2 from the throttling valve outlet flows sequentially into the indoor first heat exchanger 2 and the indoor second heat exchanger 3 to exchange heat with the air. After absorbing heat, the CO2 flows sequentially through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4, returning to compressor 1. At this point, in the coolant circuit, driven by the second water pump 15, the coolant flows in two streams through the motor radiator 16 and the electronic control heat exchanger 17. After absorbing heat and increasing in temperature, the coolant flows into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 to continue absorbing heat from the high-temperature CO2 at the compressor 1 outlet. Then, it exchanges heat with the ambient air through the front-end radiator 6, and the cooled coolant flows back to the second water pump 15, repeating the cycle. This cycle enables the dissipation of heat generated by the motor and electronic control system while simultaneously aiding in CO2 heat release, reducing the heat load on the outdoor heat exchanger 5, lowering the CO2 temperature at the outdoor heat exchanger outlet, and improving the system COP. In addition, when the air passes through the indoor heat exchanger for cooling, condensate is produced. This condensate is atomized and sprayed onto the outdoor heat exchanger, which enhances heat exchange and further reduces the CO2 temperature at the outdoor heat exchanger outlet. At this point, the system optimization is to achieve optimal system performance and ensure passenger comfort. Therefore, PID1, PID2, and PID3 are activated to control the exhaust pressure, supply air temperature, and passenger cabin temperature, respectively.

The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows sequentially to the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange with the coolant, and then flows to the outdoor heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange with the air. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4 and is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state by the first bidirectional full-way throttle valve 37. The CO2 from the outlet of the throttle valve flows sequentially into the indoor first heat exchanger 2 and the indoor second heat exchanger 3 for heat exchange with the air. After absorbing heat, the CO2 flows sequentially through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4, and returns to the compressor 1. At this point, the coolant circuit is connected in series. The coolant flows through the battery cooler 7 under the action of the first water pump 12, then through the battery heat exchanger 13 to absorb heat from the battery. It then flows through the second water pump 15 and splits into two streams, flowing through the motor radiator 16 and the electronic control heat exchanger 17. The cooled coolant, after absorbing heat and increasing in temperature, flows into the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 to continue absorbing heat from the high-temperature CO2 at the compressor 1 outlet. It then exchanges heat with the ambient air through the front-end radiator 9, and the cooled coolant flows back to the first water pump 12, repeating the cycle. This process dissipates heat from the battery and motor / electronic control system while simultaneously aiding in CO2 heat release, reducing the heat load on the outdoor heat exchanger 5, lowering the CO2 temperature at the outdoor heat exchanger outlet, and improving the system COP. Furthermore, when air passes through the indoor heat exchanger for cooling, condensate is released. This condensate is atomized and sprayed onto the outdoor heat exchanger, enhancing heat exchange and further reducing the CO2 temperature at the outdoor heat exchanger outlet. At this point, the system's optimization parameters are optimized to achieve the best system performance and ensure passenger comfort. Therefore, PID1, PID2, and PID3 are activated to control the exhaust pressure, supply air temperature, and passenger cabin temperature, respectively.

The a and d ports of the four-way water valve 20 are connected, as are the b and c ports. The a and c ports of the first three-way water valve 40 and the second three-way water valve 41 are connected.

To avoid closing the volume, the seventh solenoid valve 27 and the third bidirectional full-way throttling valve 39 can be opened. All other valves and interfaces are closed, and the indoor fan 10 is turned off. The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows to the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange with the coolant, and then flows to the outdoor heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange with the air. After releasing heat, the CO2 flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4 and is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state by the second bidirectional full-way throttle valve 38.

The high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows through the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 and exchanges heat with the air in the outdoor heat exchanger, heating the frost layer on the outdoor heat exchanger to melt it. The CO2 that has released heat flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4 and is throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state by the second bidirectional full-way throttle valve 38. The CO2 at the outlet of the throttle valve flows into the battery cooler 7 and exchanges heat with the coolant. After absorbing heat, the CO2 flows through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4 in sequence and returns to the compressor 1. At this point, the coolant circuit is connected in series. The coolant flows through the battery heat exchanger 13 to absorb heat from the battery. After being heated, the coolant is split into two streams by the second water pump 15, flowing through the motor radiator 16 and the electronic control heat exchanger 17. After absorbing heat again and being heated, the coolant flows through the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 and the first water pump 12, and then enters the battery cooler 7 to release heat to CO2. The cooled coolant then flows back into the battery heat exchanger 13, repeating the cycle. This process dissipates the heat generated by the battery and the motor's electronic control system while melting the frost layer on the outdoor heat exchanger, improving the performance of the thermal management system and ensuring the system's heating capacity. The system's optimization goal at this point is to maximize the heat exchange, i.e., to complete the defrosting process as quickly as possible. Therefore, the compressor 1 operates at full speed, and the valve opening controls the maximum discharge pressure limit, but it is necessary to ensure that the compressor outlet temperature is within the limit.

A portion of the high-temperature, high-pressure CO2 from the compressor 1 outlet flows through the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 and exchanges heat with the air in the outdoor heat exchanger, melting the frost layer on the outdoor heat exchanger. The released CO2 flows through the high-pressure side of the regenerator 4, while another portion of the high-temperature CO2 flows sequentially into the indoor first heat exchanger 2 and the indoor second heat exchanger 3 to heat the air. Then, the two cooled CO2 streams merge and flow through the second bidirectional full-pass throttle valve 38, where they are throttled to a low-temperature, low-pressure state. After that, they flow into the battery cooler 7 to absorb heat from the coolant. After absorbing heat, the CO2 flows sequentially through the gas-liquid separator 8 and the low-pressure side of the regenerator 4 before returning to the compressor 1. At this point, the coolant circuit is connected in series. The coolant flows through the battery heat exchanger 13 to absorb heat from the battery. After being heated, the coolant is split into two streams by the second water pump 15, flowing through the motor radiator 16 and the electronic control heat exchanger 17. After absorbing heat again and being heated, the coolant flows through the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 and the first water pump 12, and then enters the battery cooler 7 to release heat to CO2. The cooled coolant then flows back into the battery heat exchanger 13 in a reciprocating cycle. This process dissipates the heat generated by the battery and the motor electronic control system while melting the frost layer on the outdoor heat exchanger, improving the performance of the thermal management system and ensuring the system's heating capacity. The system's optimization goal at this point is to complete the defrosting process as quickly as possible while ensuring the comfort of the passenger compartment. Therefore, the compressor 1 is running at full speed, and PID2 and PID3 are activated to control the supply air temperature and passenger compartment temperature, respectively.

The CO2, after releasing heat, flows sequentially through the high-pressure side of regenerator 4, gas-liquid separator 8, and low-pressure side of regenerator 4, returning to compressor 1. At this point, in the motor coolant circuit, the coolant is split into two streams by the second water pump 15, flowing through the motor radiator 16 and the electronically controlled heat exchanger 17. After absorbing heat and heating up, the coolant flows through the liquid-cooled heat exchanger 6 and releases heat. The cooled coolant then returns to the second water pump 15 in a continuous cycle. This process dissipates the heat generated by the motor's electronic control system while simultaneously melting the frost layer on the outdoor heat exchanger, thereby improving the performance of the thermal management system and ensuring its heating capacity. At this time, the system is not a vapor compression cycle but a pump-driven two-phase flow cycle. Although the compressor input energy is relatively small, it has high defrosting efficiency from the start of the cycle, eliminating the need to wait for the cycle to establish.
