An
electric vehicle thermal management system and a control method thereof. The
thermal management system comprises a
refrigerant loop, a cooling liquid loop, and a
control system; the
refrigerant loop is provided with a compressor (1), a water-cooled condenser (2), an outside
heat exchanger (3), an
evaporator (4), a battery cooler (5), and a gas-liquid separator (6); the cooling liquid loop comprises an
electric drive loop, a battery loop, and a warm air loop, the
electric drive loop being provided with an
electric drive assembly (16), a low-temperature radiator (17), and a first water pump (18), the battery loop being provided with a battery (19), a second water pump (20), and a third one-way valve (21), and the warm air loop being provided with the water-cooled condenser (2), a passenger compartment warm
air core body (22), and a third water pump (23); and the
control system is provided with a plurality of three-way valves (24, 25) and a plurality of loop
coupling points (26, 27, 28, 29), the plurality of three-way valves (24, 25) and the plurality of loop
coupling points (26, 27, 28, 29) controlling the
refrigerant loop, the warm air loop, the battery loop, and the electric drive loop to form different loop
modes in order to meet the thermal management requirements of the passenger compartment, the battery (19), and the electric drive
assembly (16).
