AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies do not provide a reliable method for mounting and fixing a heat source unit comprising a warm water pump, refrigerant condenser, and warm water heater on a vehicle, necessitating a specific arrangement and fixing method.
A vehicle heat source unit is designed with a longitudinal structure that supports and fixes the warm water pump, refrigerant condenser, and warm water heater to the vehicle's right and left rigid sections, suspension towers, and dash panel, using plate-shaped fixing parts with overlapping and bent base portions for secure attachment.
The solution ensures the heat source unit is securely fixed to the vehicle, allowing for efficient arrangement and mounting in the vehicle's front compartment, preventing heat loss, and supporting additional components like a refrigerant liquid tank and battery cooling systems.
