Abstract:
An air source heat pump (ASHP) with refrigerant injection is proposed for the air conditioning system of electric vehicles (EVs), especially for efficient heating in cold winter, when there is no wasted heat of engines. The simulation model is built with the framework of two-phase fluid network, where the compressor is separated as two compressors and the economizer is treated as two heat exchangers in the injection path and the main refrigerant path. With the validated simulation model, the heating performance is analyzed, and the results show that the coefficient of performance (COP) of ASHP with refrigerant injection is higher than 1.4 and the discharge temperature is less than 100℃ when the outdoor temperature is -20℃. The above performance ensures that the air conditioning system and EVs can operate normally with high efficiency even in the cold winter, which is much helpful for the practicability of EVs.
