A
thermal management system for electric construction machinery, the
thermal management system comprising a
battery pack (1), a first
liquid storage tank (2), a first liquid pump (3), a plurality of first air-conditioning units (4) arranged in parallel, a heat dissipation group (5) and a first controller (6), wherein the
battery pack provides a driving force; the first
liquid storage tank stores a circulating medium; the first liquid pump is in communication with the first
liquid storage tank; the first liquid pump is connected to the
battery pack to form a first circulating loop (100); the first liquid pump drives the circulating medium to flow through the battery pack, such that the circulating medium exchanges heat with the battery pack; each first air-conditioning unit comprises a compressor (41), a condenser (42), a first throttling device (43) and a first
evaporator (44), and the first air-conditioning units reduce the temperature of the circulating medium in the first circulating loop; the heat dissipation group dissipates heat from the condensers in the first air-conditioning units and / or reduces the temperature of the circulating medium flowing through the battery pack; and the first controller controls, on the basis of the temperature of the battery pack, the plurality of first air-conditioning units and the heat dissipation group to start and stop. The
thermal management system effectively reduces the number of heat dissipation groups, thereby facilitating an improvement in the
heat transfer efficiency of the
system, and improving the
energy consumption of a whole vehicle. In addition, further disclosed are a control method and electric construction machinery.
