AI Technical Summary
In direct cooling and direct heating technology, the excessive superheat of the compressor exhaust when the battery pack is directly heated exceeds the safe temperature difference limit of the battery pack, which has become a key issue restricting the application of the technology and the improvement of performance.
A direct cooling and heating thermal management system was designed, including a refrigerant circuit and a battery temperature control circuit. By setting up an electric compressor, an external heat exchanger, a condenser, an evaporator, a waste heat recovery unit, and a gas-liquid separator, the first electronic expansion valve controls the refrigerant injection into the electric compressor suction port to reduce the exhaust temperature and achieve battery pack temperature difference control.
It effectively reduces the superheat of the compressor exhaust when the battery pack is directly heated, ensures that the safe temperature difference of the battery pack is within a reasonable range, and improves the performance and efficiency of the thermal management system.
