This study presented the feasibility of a coolant heat-source heat pump system as an alternative heating system for electrically driven vehicles. Heat pumps are among the most environmentally friendly and efficient heating technologies in residential buildings. In various countries, electric mobiles devices such as EV, PHEV, and FCEV, have been mainly concerned with heat pumps for new mobile markets. The experiments herein were conducted for various ambient temperatures and coolant temperatures to reflect the winter season. The system, a coolant heat-source heat pump, consisted of an inside heat exchanger, an outside heat exchanger, a motor driven compressor, an electronic expansion valve, and plumbing parts. For the experimental results, the maximum heating capacity and air discharge temperature are up to 6.3 kW and $62^{\circ}C$ respectively at an ambient temperature of $10^{\circ}C$, and coolant at $10^{\circ}C$. However, at $-20^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature and $-10^{\circ}C$ coolant temperature, conditions were insufficient to warm the cabin as the air discharge temperature was $13^{\circ}C$.

As automotive diesel engines adopt the direct injection method for a lower level of the exhaust emission and a higher fuel efficiency, the maximum temperature of engine coolant decreases. Consequently, the total available heat source from the engine coolant decreases over 35%. However, the heating source of air-conditioning system in automobiles depends on the hot engine coolant completely, so that it is nearly impossible to control air conditioning in heating season. Therefore, the present study has been carried out to develop the air conditioning system for the high efficient heat pump type using the HFC-134a. Especially, the air conditioning system of heating has been developed at a beginning stage, when it has low heat source from small and medium sized diesel recreation vehicles. To develop a control logic system for air conditioning system which is a heat pump type with a heat recovery exchanger, its cycle characteristics has been investigated according to the opening of LEV at a bench system.

This paper describes an experimental study for heating performance that can be used in R-134a automobile heat pump systems. The heat pump system is widely studied for heating system in zero-emission vehicles to attain both the small power consumption and the effective heating of the cabin. This paper presents the experimental results of the influence on heating capacity and coefficient of performance of heat pump system. Tests were performed with different sizes of internal and external heat exchangers, and refrigerant flow rate was also considered in two-way flow devices. In addition, the heat, air, and water sources with the heat pump system were examined. The experimental results with the heat pump system were used to analyze the impact on performances. The best combination of performance was A-inside heat exchanger, B-outside heat exchanger, and B-flow device, respectively. In addition, a water heat-source was found to give roughly 40% of better performance than an air heat-source heat pump system.

An electric vehicle is an environment-friendly automobile which does not emit any tailpipe pollutant. In a conventional vehicle with an internal combustion engine, the internal cabin of the vehicle is usually heated using waste heat from the engine. However, for an electric vehicle, an alternative solution for heating is required because it does not have a combustion engine. Recently, a heat pump system which is widely used for residential heating due to its higher efficiency has been studied for its use as a heating system in electric vehicles. In this study, a heat pump system utilizing air source and waste heat source from electric devices was investigated experimentally. The performance of the heat pump system was measured by varying the mass flow rate ratio. The experimental results show that the heating capacity and COP in the dual heat source heat pump were increased by 20.9% and 8.6%, respectively, from those of the air-source heat pump.

본 연구의 목적은 EV 경상용차에 적용되는 히트펌프 시스템에 대한 냉방 성능 특성을 실험적으로 분석하는 것이다. EV 경상용차가 운전되는 냉방 운전조건인 외기온도 35 ℃, 내기온도 25 ℃ 상황에서, 히트펌프 시스템의 냉방 특성을 분석하고자, 냉각수의 온도조건, 전동식 압축기 회전수 조건 변화에 대해서, 실험을 진행하였고, 그 결과를 분석하였다. 전동식 압축기 회전수가 증가할수록 냉방 성능이 평균 8.0 %가 증가하였고, 전동식 압축기 소비전력은 27 %가 증가하여서, 시스템 효율은 16.4 %가 감소하는 결과를 보여주고 있다. 전자장비 냉각을 위한 냉각수의 폐열을 활용하기 위하여서, 냉매랑 냉각수가 열교환 하는 칠러를 본 시스템에 적용하였다. 칠러에 적용되는 냉각수의 온도를 35 ℃에서 55℃로 변화시켰을 때, 응축 열원의 증가로 인하여서, 시스템 효율이 평균적으로 18.2 %가 떨어지는 결과를 보여주고 있다. 냉각수 유량 변화 측면에서, 운전 조건을 변화시켰지만, 냉방 성능에는 큰 변화를 보이고 있지 않았다. 향후, 냉각수 폐열을 사용하여서, 히트펌프 시스템에 대한 난방 성능 향상을 위한 연구가 필요한 상황에서, 관련 연구에 추가 할 예정이다.

The main objective of this work is to investigate the characteristics of a heat pump system for fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The present heat pump system adopts an electrically driven compressor running with R134a and uses the heat from the fuel cell stack as the heat source for the exterior heat exchanger. The experimental work has been done with various operating conditions such as different compressor speeds, fuel cell stack coolant temperatures and flow rates. The heating capacity was measured to be from 4 to 10 kW at $-20^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature, and the outlet temperature of interior heat exchanger was up to $70^{\circ}C$. After 30 seconds from start-up, the system reached a steady state and the heating capacity of 6.8 kW was acquired, and after 90 seconds, the air outlet temperature of interior heat exchanger became $35^{\circ}C$.

A detailed literature review is presented for the applications of the heat pump technologies on the electric vehicles Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. Due to legal regulations, automotive manufacturers have to produce more efficient and low carbon emission vehicles. Electric vehicles can be provided these requirements but the battery technologies and energy managements systems are still developing considering battery life and vehicle range. On the other hand, energy consumption for HVAC units has an important role on the energy management of these vehicles. Moreover, the energy requirement of HVAC processes for different environmental conditions are significantly affect the total energy consumption of these vehicles. For the heating process, the coolant of internal combustion (IC) engine can be utilized but in electric vehicles, we have not got any adequate waste heat source for this process. The heat pump technology is one of the alternative choices for the industry due to having high coefficient of performance (COP), but these systems have some disadvantages which can be improved with the other technologies. In this study, a literature review is performed considering alternative refrigerants, performance characteristics of different heat pump systems for electric vehicles and thermal management systems of electric vehicles.

본 연구의 목적은 수소연료전지 자동차의 난방부하 대응을 위한 스택 냉각수를 활용하여서, 전동식 히트펌프 시스템에 대한 난방성능 특성을 다양한 운전조건 변화에 대해서 고찰하는 것이다. 냉각수와 냉매(R-134a)와의 열교환을 위해서 판형열교환기를 적용하였고, 전동식 히트펌프 시스템에 적용되는 실내열교환기 입구의 공기온도와 압축기 회전수를 변화시키면서 난방 성능 특성을 분석하였다. 실내열교환기 입구 공기 온도 변화에 대해서 난방 성능은 거의 동일한 결과를 보이고 있는데, 이는 입출구 온도차와 공기 측 밀도의 변화가 균형을 이루었기 때문으로 판단된다. 반면, 히트펌프 시스템 효율(COP)의 경우, 난방 성능은 온도변화에 따라 동일하였지만, 유량 변화로 인하여서, 압축기 소모동력이 감소하였기 때문에, 실내열 교환기 입구 온도가 감소함에 따라서, 시스템 효율은 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 추가적으로, EEV개도가 45%정도까지 열리는 구간에서는, 압축기 소모전력 감소하였기 때문에, 시스템 효율이 증가하였고, 그 이후에는 동일한 시스템 효율을 유지하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 압축기 회전수 변화 시에는 난방성능이 증가하면, 시스템 효율은 감소하는 경향을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 원인은 압축기 회전수 증가에 따른 유량의 증가로 판단된다. 향후, 열원으로 사용하는 냉각수에 대한 운전조건을 변화시켜가면서, 난방성능 특성을 분석하여, 전동식 히트펌프의 난방부하 대응을 위한 제어 방안을 연구하고자 한다.
