Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile air conditioners, and in particular relates to an integrated electric air conditioner system for a double-decker bus. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology and the reduction of costs, the competitiveness of new energy buses is gradually increasing. Especially in some large cities and regions, new energy buses have gradually become an important part of public transportation. Compared with traditional buses, new energy buses have environmental advantages such as zero emissions and low noise, which helps to improve urban air quality and enhance the quality of life of residents.

[0003] The bus air conditioning system works on the principle of evaporative cooling and is mainly composed of a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator and a throttle valve. When the driver turns on the air conditioner, the system will adjust accordingly according to the temperature of the environment and season. The battery cooling of new energy buses mainly depends on the battery thermal management system, which is one of the key technologies to ensure the performance, safety and life of the battery. When the battery temperature is high, the thermal management system will effectively dissipate heat to prevent thermal runaway accidents. At present, the common cooling methods are air cooling or liquid cooling. Air cooling uses natural convection cooling, natural wind mechanical convection cooling and air conditioning cold air mechanical convection cooling. This solution has a simple structure and low cost, but the cooling capacity is small and the cooling efficiency is low. Liquid cooling uses a chiller to cool the battery, which has a good cooling effect, but it is expensive and occupies a large space.

The battery condensation system and the passenger compartment condensation system share the same condensation system. When the air conditioner cools the battery, the cooling capacity of the passenger area will be lost, and when the vehicle is parked for charging, the compressor will cause low-frequency operation, and the compressor will start and stop frequently, which will affect the service life and failure rate of the compressor.
