TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of new energy automobile battery management, concretely relates to a hydrogen fuel heavy truck integrated heat management heating system. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the improvement of truck endurance mileage, the battery capacity matched by hydrogen fuel heavy truck is gradually increased. The internal temperature of the battery is one of the important indicators to ensure the battery life and operating performance stability. Even in the case of low winter ambient temperature, due to a large amount of heat generated by the battery during charging, the internal temperature rises sharply, thereby affecting the battery charging performance and battery service life. The current use efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell stack is only 50%, and a large amount of waste heat needs to be released during use to ensure that the stack works within a certain temperature range. Due to the low use efficiency, a large amount of waste heat is released from the hydrogen fuel cell stack during use, which is discharged to the environment through the radiator and the cooling fan, resulting in energy waste. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a method for solving the problem of battery cooling at any ambient temperature and reasonably using the waste heat of hydrogen fuel cell stack.
[0003] Moreover, in the prior art, the cab air conditioner, battery cooling system and hydrogen fuel stack cooling system of the hydrogen fuel heavy truck are all separate and independent, which needs to occupy the appropriate and separate space of the whole vehicle. Since the air conditioner is a single cold product, the heating relies on PTC, and the electric energy consumption is large, which seriously affects the endurance mileage of the whole vehicle. The cab adopts the air-warming PTC mode, the air outlet temperature is high and not easy to control, and the noise is large. In winter, the battery needs to be cooled due to a large amount of heat generated during charging, and the cab needs to be heated, so the two systems are independent of each other and have high energy consumption.

[0006] 2. The cab heating adopts the air-warming PTC mode, although the temperature rises quickly, but the air-warming PTC air outlet temperature is high, not easy to control, and the safety is low, and the energy consumption is higher; and in winter, the internal temperature of the battery will rise during charging, which needs to be cooled, and in winter, the cab needs to be heated, so the two systems are independently operated and have high energy consumption, therefore, the endurance mileage of the whole vehicle is greatly affected when running in winter cold weather;
