Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to a vehicle thermal management system, a control method for the vehicle thermal management system, an electronic device, a storage medium, and a computer program product. Background Art
[0002] Existing non-heat pump system battery direct cooling models use refrigerant to directly cool the battery. When solving the cooling and heating needs of the vehicle interior and battery, the following modes are selected:
[0003] 1. In-vehicle cooling: direct cooling of evaporator refrigerant;
[0004] 2. In-car heating: ① The hot water generated when the engine is started is blown into the car through the heating core; ② Air-source electric auxiliary heating (Air Positive Temperature Coefficien, PTC) is used to heat the air and blow it into the car;
[0005] 3. Battery cooling: direct cooling of battery cooler with refrigerant;
[0006] 4. Battery heating: PTC heating film heats the battery.
[0007] Therefore, existing direct-cooling hybrid models only use refrigerant to directly cool the battery, but use PTC heating film to heat the battery.
[0008] Therefore, the vehicle thermal management system of the prior art battery direct cooling model has the following disadvantages:
[0009] 1. The battery requires a cooler and a PTC heating film, resulting in the use of two PTCs for interior heating and battery heating, which is costly;
[0010] 2. Only PTC heating is used. The interior heating, battery heating, and motor cooling are completely independent and uncoupled. The heat pump system cannot be used to absorb waste heat from the external environment and the motor. Therefore, the motor's electronically controlled waste heat cannot be used to heat the battery and the interior of the vehicle, resulting in low heating efficiency.
[0011] 3. The battery and radiator are not coupled. Battery cooling can only be achieved by turning on the compressor and using refrigerant. When the heat output is low, the radiator cannot be used for heat dissipation, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0012] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a vehicle thermal management system, a control method for the vehicle thermal management system, an electronic device, a storage medium and a computer program product to address the technical problems of high cost and low efficiency of the vehicle thermal management system of the existing battery direct cooling vehicle model.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0051] The following further describes specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like components are denoted by like reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inward" and "outward" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a particular component, respectively.
[0052] like Figure 1 The figure shows a system schematic diagram of a vehicle thermal management system according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a compressor 1, an external condenser 2, a battery cold plate 3, an evaporator 4, an internal condenser 5, a heat exchanger 6, a radiator 7, and a motor 8 (which may include a reducer);
[0053] The compressor 1 is controllably connected to the external condenser 2, the battery cold plate 3, the evaporator 4, the internal condenser 5, and the first heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 through a refrigerant channel, and the refrigerant channel is used for refrigerant circulation;
[0054] The oil cooler 80 of the motor 8 is connected to the oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 and the oil-water heat exchanger 91 respectively. The oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 is controllably connected to the compressor 1 through a refrigerant channel. The oil-water heat exchanger 91 is controllably connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7 through a coolant channel. The coolant channel is used for cooling water circulation.
[0055] Specifically, the compressor 1 is controllably connected to the external condenser 2, the battery cold plate 3, the evaporator 4, the internal condenser 5, and the first heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 through the refrigerant channel for the circulation of the refrigerant. The battery is cooled and heated by the refrigerant entering the battery cold plate 3. The heat exchanger 6 includes a first heat exchange channel and a second heat exchange channel, and the first heat exchange channel and the second heat exchange channel exchange heat inside the heat exchanger 6. Among them, the refrigerant is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the compressor 1 and then enters the condenser. The condenser dissipates the heat of the refrigerant by exchanging heat with the outside air, so that the refrigerant is cooled and condensed into a liquid (the principles of the external condenser 2 and the internal condenser 5 are the same). The refrigerant evaporates from liquid to gas in the evaporator 4, absorbing heat from the air flowing through, thereby reducing the temperature of the air.
[0056] The refrigerant channel is provided with multiple electronic expansion valves, stop valves, check valves and other valves. By controlling the opening or closing of each valve, the compressor 1 is connected or disconnected with the external condenser 2, the battery cold plate 3, the evaporator 4, the internal condenser 5 and the first heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6, thereby achieving controllable connection.
[0057] On the other hand, the oil cooler of the motor 8 is controllably connected to the compressor through a refrigerant channel, and the oil cooler 80 is controllably connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7 through a coolant channel, and the coolant channel is used for cooling water circulation.
[0058] Specifically, the cooling oil inside the motor 8 enters the oil cooler 80 of the motor 8 through the oil pump. The oil cooler 80 dissipates the waste heat of the motor 8 and dissipates the heat through the coolant channel and the refrigerant channel respectively and / or heats other components of the vehicle through the waste heat of the motor.
[0059] The oil cooler 80 of the motor 8 is connected to the oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 and the oil-water heat exchanger 91 respectively. The oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 is controllably connected to the compressor 1 through a refrigerant channel, and the oil-water heat exchanger 91 is controllably connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7 through a coolant channel.
[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the oil cooler 80 of the motor 8 is connected to the oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 and the oil-water heat exchanger 91 respectively.
[0061] Specifically, the oil inlet and outlet of oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 are connected to oil cooler 80. The refrigerant inlet and outlet of oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 are controllably connected to compressor 1 via a refrigerant passage. A valve in the refrigerant passage controls the connection between oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 and compressor 1. Cooling oil for motor 8 enters oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 through the oil inlet and flows out through the oil outlet, returning to motor 8. Refrigerant in the refrigerant passage enters the refrigerant inlet of oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 and flows out through the refrigerant outlet. As the refrigerant passes through oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92, the liquid refrigerant vaporizes and absorbs heat. As the oil in motor 8 passes through oil cooler 80 and enters oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92, heat is removed by the refrigerant, lowering the oil temperature. Heat exchange between the oil and refrigerant is then completed within oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92. Consequently, oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 transfers waste heat from motor 8 to the refrigerant through heat exchange.
[0062] The oil inlet and outlet of the oil-water heat exchanger 91 are connected to the oil cooler 80 of the motor 8. The coolant inlet and outlet of the oil-water heat exchanger 91 are controllably connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7 via a coolant channel. The coolant channel is equipped with a valve, such as a three-way valve, which is controlled by opening and closing the valve to achieve controllable communication between the oil-water heat exchanger 91, the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6, and the radiator 7. Oil from the motor 8 enters the oil-water heat exchanger 91 through the oil inlet and exits through the oil outlet, returning to the motor 8. Water in the coolant channel enters the water inlet of the oil-water heat exchanger 91 and exits through the water outlet. The oil and water exchange heat within the oil-water heat exchanger 91. Through heat exchange, the oil-water heat exchanger 91 transfers waste heat from the motor 8 to the cooling water. Heat is then dissipated through the coolant channel to the radiator 7. The heat is then transferred to the refrigerant channel through the heat exchanger 6 to heat other components.
[0063] The vehicle thermal management system of this invention uses a battery cold plate to directly cool and heat the battery using a refrigerant, while the evaporator cools the vehicle interior and the internal condenser heats it. Furthermore, the battery cold plate is connected to the motor water circuit and the outdoor environment, fully utilizing waste heat from the motor's electronic control unit and the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the motor's rotor heat generation eliminates the need for PTC, resulting in lower system costs and higher efficiency.
[0064] like Figure 1 FIG2 shows a vehicle thermal management system according to another embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a compressor 1, an external condenser 2, a battery cold plate 3, an evaporator 4, an internal condenser 5, a heat exchanger 6, a radiator 7, and a motor 8;
[0065] The compressor 1 is controllably connected to the external condenser 2, the battery cold plate 3, the evaporator 4, the internal condenser 5, and the first heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 through a refrigerant channel, and the refrigerant channel is used for refrigerant circulation;
[0066] The oil cooler 80 of the motor 8 is connected to an oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 and an oil-water heat exchanger 91 respectively. The oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 is controllably connected to the compressor 1 via a refrigerant channel. The oil-water heat exchanger 91 is controllably connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7 via a coolant channel. The coolant channel is used for cooling water circulation.
[0067] The oil-water heat exchanger 91 is controllably connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7 in sequence;
[0068] The compressor 1 is controllably connected to the external condenser 2 and the oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 in sequence;
[0069] The compressor 1 is controllably connected to the external condenser 2 and the evaporator 4 in sequence;
[0070] The compressor 1 is controllably connected to the internal condenser 5 and the heat exchanger 6 in sequence;
[0071] The compressor 1 is controllably connected to the external condenser 2 and the battery cold plate 3 in sequence;
[0072] The compressor 1 is controllably connected to the battery cold plate 3 and the first heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 in sequence.
[0073] Specifically, the thermal management system of this embodiment includes a coolant channel and a refrigerant channel.
[0074] The coolant channel is a channel through which coolant circulates. Coolant, such as cooling water, circulates within the coolant channel. Specifically, during heating, the water in the coolant channel circulates, connecting the oil cooler 80 to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7.
[0075] In some embodiments, it further includes a kettle 11, a water pump 12, an electronic control module 13 and a three-way valve 10. Figure 1 For simplicity, only the oil cooler 80 is shown. However, in reality, Figure 2As shown, the oil-water heat exchanger 91 exchanges heat with the oil cooler 80 and transfers heat through the coolant channel. The oil-water heat exchanger 91, connected to the oil cooler 80, is sequentially connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7. The oil-water heat exchanger 91 is sequentially connected to the heat exchanger 6, the three-way valve 10, the radiator 7, the kettle 11, the water pump 12, the electronic control module 13, and the oil-water heat exchanger 91 to form a coolant circuit. The coolant (cooling water) flows in the following direction: oil-water heat exchanger 91 -> heat exchanger 6 -> three-way valve 10 -> radiator 7 -> kettle 11 -> water pump 12 -> electronic control module 13 -> oil-water heat exchanger 91. The first end of the three-way valve 10 is connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6, the second end is connected to the liquid inlet of the radiator 7, and the third end is connected to the liquid outlet of the radiator 7. The three-way valve 10 is in communication with the controller. When the controller connects the first and second ends of the three-way valve 10, the oil-water heat exchanger 91, heat exchanger 6, three-way valve 10, radiator 7, kettle 11, water pump 12, electronic control module 13, and oil-water heat exchanger 91 are connected to form a loop. Heat is dissipated through radiator 7, while the motor's waste heat is exchanged through heat exchanger 6. When the controller connects the first and third ends of the three-way valve 10, radiator 7 is disconnected, and the motor's waste heat is exchanged only through heat exchanger 6.
[0076] The radiator 7 is preferably a low-temperature radiator.
[0077] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 6 is preferably a plate heat exchanger (chiller).
[0078] On the other hand, the refrigerant channel is controlled by multiple valves, including but not limited to: heat pump heating stop valve SOV1, external condenser front stop valve SOV2, internal condenser stop valve SOV3, battery cooling stop valve SOV4, battery heating stop valve S0V5, internal condenser outlet stop valve SOV6, evaporator inlet electronic expansion valve EXV1, battery cold plate inlet first electronic expansion valve EXV2, heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV3, battery heating inlet electronic expansion valve EXV4, battery cooling outlet electronic expansion valve EXV5, battery cold plate inlet second electronic expansion valve EXV6, oil refrigerant heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV7, cold plate cooling check valve CV1, evaporator rear check valve CV2, cold plate heating check valve CV3, motor cooling check valve CV4.
[0079] In some embodiments, the thermal management system further includes: a radiator fan assembly (MOTOR FAN) 14 , an air heater (APTC) 15 (also known as a high-pressure air PTC), and an air conditioning blower (BLOWER) 16 .
[0080] In some embodiments, the thermal management system further includes a plurality of sensors, such as Figure 1As shown, it specifically includes: radiator inlet temperature sensor T1, motor outlet water temperature sensor T2, battery cold plate inlet refrigerant temperature first sensor T3, battery cold plate outlet refrigerant temperature first sensor T4, compressor inlet refrigerant pressure sensor P1, external condenser outlet pressure and temperature sensor PT1, internal condenser outlet pressure and temperature sensor PT2, compressor outlet refrigerant exhaust temperature sensor T5, battery cold plate inlet refrigerant temperature second sensor T6, battery cold plate outlet refrigerant temperature second sensor T7.
[0081] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 6 is preferably a plate heat exchanger.
[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerant outlet of compressor 1 is controllably connected to external condenser 2, internal condenser 5, and the battery cold plate 3 during battery heating, serving as a high-pressure heat release terminal. External condenser 2 is controllably connected to evaporator 4, heat exchanger 6, battery cold plate 3 for battery cooling, and oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 for motor cooling. Internal condenser 5 is controllably connected to heat exchanger 6 and external condenser 2, while battery cold plate 3 is controllably connected to heat exchanger 6 during battery heating.
[0083] The evaporator 4 , the heat exchanger 6 , the battery cold plate 3 during battery cooling, the oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 , and the external condenser 2 are respectively connected to the refrigerant inlet end of the compressor 1 as low-pressure heat absorption ends.
[0084] The external condenser 2 exchanges heat with the air outside the vehicle, and the internal condenser 5 exchanges heat with the air inside the vehicle.
[0085] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 exchanges heat with the oil cooler 80 and transfers heat through the refrigerant channel. Therefore, the oil cooler 80 is connected to the oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92, and the oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 is connected to the compressor 1 and the external condenser 2 in turn.
[0086] Specifically including multiple refrigerant connection circuits:
[0087] First refrigerant connection circuit: the outlet of compressor 1 is connected in sequence to the external condenser pre-stop valve SOV2, external condenser 2, oil refrigerant heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV7, oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92, motor cooling check valve CV4, and the inlet of compressor 1 to form a circuit;
[0088] Second refrigerant connection circuit: the outlet of compressor 1 is connected to the external condenser front stop valve SOV2, external condenser 2, evaporator inlet electronic expansion valve EXV1, evaporator 4, evaporator rear check valve CV2, and the inlet of compressor 1 in sequence to form a circuit;
[0089] Third refrigerant connection loop: The outlet of compressor 1 is connected in sequence to the internal condenser stop valve SOV3, internal condenser 5, internal condenser outlet stop valve SOV6, heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV3, heat exchanger 6, heat pump heating stop valve SOV1, and the inlet of compressor 1 to form a loop;
[0090] Fourth refrigerant connection circuit: The outlet of compressor 1 is connected in sequence to the external condenser front stop valve SOV2, external condenser 2, cold plate cooling check valve CV1, battery cooling stop valve SOV4, battery cold plate inlet first electronic expansion valve EXV2 and battery cold plate inlet second electronic expansion valve EXV6, battery cold plate 3, battery cooling outlet electronic expansion valve EXV5, and the inlet of compressor 1 to form a loop;
[0091] The fifth refrigerant flow direction is: the outlet of compressor 1 is connected in sequence to the battery heating inlet electronic expansion valve EXV4, the battery cold plate 3, the first electronic expansion valve EXV2 of the battery cold plate inlet and the second electronic expansion valve EXV6 of the battery cold plate inlet, the battery heating stop valve S0V5, the cold plate heating check valve CV3, the heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV3, the heat exchanger 6, the heat pump heating stop valve SOV1, and the inlet of compressor 1 to form a loop.
[0092] The refrigerant channel is the channel through which the refrigerant flows. Figure 1 In the vehicle thermal management system shown, the flow directions of the refrigerant in the refrigerant channel include:
[0093] The first refrigerant flow direction is: compressor 1->external condenser front stop valve SOV2->external condenser 2->oil refrigerant heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV7->oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92->motor cooling check valve CV4->compressor 1;
[0094] The second refrigerant flow direction is: compressor 1->external condenser front stop valve SOV2->external condenser 2->evaporator inlet electronic expansion valve EXV1->evaporator 4->evaporator rear check valve CV2->compressor 1;
[0095] The third refrigerant flow direction is: compressor 1 -> internal condenser stop valve SOV3 -> internal condenser 5 -> internal condenser outlet stop valve SOV6 -> heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV3 -> heat exchanger 6 -> heat pump heating stop valve SOV1 -> compressor 1;
[0096] The fourth refrigerant flow direction is: compressor 1 -> external condenser front stop valve SOV2 -> external condenser 2 -> cold plate cooling check valve CV1 -> battery cooling stop valve S0V4 -> battery cold plate inlet first electronic expansion valve EXV2 and battery cold plate inlet second electronic expansion valve EXV6 -> battery cold plate 3 -> battery cooling outlet electronic expansion valve EXV5 -> compressor 1;
[0097] The fifth refrigerant flows in the following direction: compressor 1 -> battery heating inlet electronic expansion valve EXV4 -> battery cold plate 3 -> battery cold plate inlet first electronic expansion valve EXV2 and battery cold plate inlet second electronic expansion valve EXV6 -> battery heating stop valve S0V5 -> cold plate heating check valve CV3 -> heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV3 -> heat exchanger 6 -> heat pump heating stop valve SOV1 -> compressor 1.
[0098] The thermal management system can operate in multiple operating modes. In different operating modes, different refrigerant channels and / or coolant channels are used to achieve multiple operating modes.
[0099] Select the following modes when there is a need for cooling or heating the vehicle interior, battery, or battery:
[0100] 1. In-vehicle cooling: direct cooling of evaporator refrigerant;
[0101] 2. In-car heating: The indoor condenser is directly heated by refrigerant, which can be either an air source heat pump or a water source heat pump;
[0102] 3. Battery cooling: direct cooling of battery cold plate refrigerant;
[0103] 4. Battery heating: direct heating of battery cold plate refrigerant;
[0104] 5. Motor low-load cooling: coolant cooling (motor → motor oil → coolant → radiator);
[0105] 6. Motor high-load cooling: refrigerant cooling (motor → motor oil → refrigerant → compressor);
[0106] This embodiment proposes a novel vehicle thermal management system using a refrigerant to directly cool and heat the battery. This system reduces PTC and enables full-temperature, all-mode thermal management. Compared to existing technologies, this system eliminates some water heat exchangers, water valves, and water pumps, resulting in fewer parts and lower costs. It also fully utilizes ambient heat and waste heat from the motor and electronic control, resulting in high efficiency.
[0107] This embodiment uses refrigerant direct cooling and heating for the battery, thereby improving the cooling and heating speed of the battery. At the same time, a direct heat pump is used to achieve higher heating efficiency and faster temperature rise in the vehicle. In addition, this embodiment uses a water source heat pump, and the motor waste heat and motor stall heating provide heat for the system, eliminating water PTC and air PTC, which is more cost-effective. The motor is cooled by both coolant liquid and refrigerant direct cooling. Liquid cooling saves energy when the motor is heated and under low load, while direct cooling is more efficient under high load, ensuring stable motor performance output. Finally, the battery heating and cooling and the vehicle heating and cooling are all connected in parallel. The cold plate cooling check valve CV1 and the cold plate heating check valve CV3 are used as one-way valves, and the battery cooling stop valve SOV4 and the battery heating stop valve SOV5 are used in combination to prevent refrigerant backflow, so that cooling and heating in all scenarios can be achieved.

[0109] Step S401, obtaining the working mode;
[0110] Step S402, according to the working mode, controls the compressor 1 to be connected to the external condenser 2, the battery cold plate 3, the evaporator 4, the internal condenser 5 and / or the first heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6, or controls the oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 to be connected to the compressor 1, or controls the oil-water heat exchanger 91 to be connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7.

[0128] As an example, Table 1 shows the coolant flow direction of the coolant channel and the refrigerant flow direction of the refrigerant channel under different working modes.
[0129]
[0130] Among them, for Figure 1 In the thermal management system shown, when the working mode is the motor using a radiator heat dissipation mode, the controller controls the first end of the three-way valve 10 to be connected to the second end, and the oil-water heat exchanger 91 connected to the oil cooler 80 is connected to the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7 in sequence.
[0131] When the controller connects the first and second ends of three-way valve 10, the coolant flows through oil-water heat exchanger 91, heat exchanger 6, three-way valve 10, radiator 7, kettle 11, water pump 12, electronic control module 13, and oil-water heat exchanger 91. Motor waste heat enters the coolant channel through oil-water heat exchanger 91 and is dissipated by radiator 7. Simultaneously, the motor waste heat is exchanged with heat exchanger 6.
[0132] In motor refrigerant cooling mode, the external condenser pre-shutoff valve SOV2, the oil refrigerant heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV7, and the motor cooling check valve CV4 are open. The primary refrigerant flows in the following direction: compressor 1 -> external condenser pre-shutoff valve SOV2 -> external condenser 2 -> oil refrigerant heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV7 -> oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 -> motor cooling check valve CV4 -> compressor 1. Compressor 1 is sequentially connected to external condenser 2 and oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92. Oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 exchanges heat with oil cooler 80. Motor waste heat is transferred through oil refrigerant heat exchanger 92 to the refrigerant channel and then to external condenser 2 for dissipation.
[0133] In interior cooling mode, the external condenser's front stop valve SOV2, the evaporator's inlet electronic expansion valve EXV1, and the evaporator's rear check valve CV2 are open. The secondary refrigerant flows from compressor 1 to external condenser's front stop valve SOV2, external condenser 2, evaporator's inlet electronic expansion valve EXV1, evaporator 4, and evaporator's rear check valve CV2. Compressor 1 is sequentially connected to external condenser 2 and evaporator 4. Evaporator 4 absorbs heat to cool the interior of the vehicle, and this heat is then transferred through the refrigerant channel to external condenser 2 for dissipation.
[0134] In vehicle heating-only mode, the interior condenser shutoff valve SOV3, the interior condenser outlet shutoff valve SOV6, the heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV3, and the heat pump heating shutoff valve SOV1 are open. The third refrigerant flows in the following direction: compressor 1 -> interior condenser shutoff valve SOV3 -> interior condenser 5 -> interior condenser outlet shutoff valve SOV6 -> heat exchanger inlet electronic expansion valve EXV3 -> heat exchanger 6 -> heat pump heating shutoff valve SOV1 -> compressor 1. Compressor 1 is sequentially connected to the interior condenser 5 and the first heat exchange channel of heat exchanger 6. Simultaneously, the controller connects the first and second ends of three-way valve 10, connecting the oil-water heat exchanger 91 connected to the oil cooler 80 to the second heat exchange channel of heat exchanger 6 and radiator 7.

Simultaneously, the controller connects the first and second ends of the three-way valve 10, connecting the oil-water heat exchanger 91 connected to the oil cooler 80 sequentially with the second heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 6 and the radiator 7. Through the flow direction of the third refrigerant, the heat exchanger 6 transfers the motor's waste heat to the internal condenser 5, releasing it into the vehicle interior.
[0137] Specifically, when the humidity in the car is high, dehumidification is required. The method is to let the air pass through the evaporator 4 with a lower temperature. The gaseous water in the air turns into liquid water when it cools and is then discharged. Dehumidification and heating means that the air is first dehumidified by the evaporator and then heated by the internal condenser. Finally, the air blown out by the air conditioner is dry hot air.
[0138] In battery cooling mode, the external condenser shutoff valve SOV2, cold plate cooling check valve CV1, battery cooling shutoff valve SOV4, battery cold plate inlet first electronic expansion valve EXV2, battery cold plate inlet second electronic expansion valve EXV6, and battery cooling outlet electronic expansion valve EXV5 are open.

At the same time, the controller connects the first and second ends of three-way valve 10. Oil-water heat exchanger 91, connected to oil cooler 80, connects sequentially to the second heat exchange channel of heat exchanger 6 and radiator 7.
