What is a car air conditioner heat pump?2022-02-26
The heat pump can be said to be a vehicle air conditioner with both cooling and heating, especially in winter, it can take into account the energy consumption of the vehicle while continuously providing heat to the cockpit. However, since the battery capacity of the early pure electric vehicles was not large, even the standard battery life version of the million-level Model S at that time was only 60kWh. According to the model at that time, when the PTC heating horsepower with a power consumption of 6kW was fully turned on, it was roughly calculated that the vehicle would be out of power if it was less than 300 kilometers in winter! The world's most concerned new energy technology.
Compared with the PTC heating method, the heat pump has many advantages in energy consumption. Traditional PTC heating is directly heated by electric heating wires. Although it can achieve 100% energy conversion in extreme cases, its shortcomings are also very obvious. It consumes 1 joule of energy and can only provide 1 joule of heat at most. Although the heat pump also relies on the electric compressor to work, it also needs to consume electricity, but when the heat pump device utilizes the waste heat, it can be carried out under the condition of low energy consumption. Because the working cycle of the heat pump is opposite to that of the heater, the heat engine can use the energy of the high temperature heat source to heat the cabin. In winter, the pure electric car with the blessing of heat pump air conditioner will not only have no discount on the cruising range, but also will not affect the accuracy of the cruising range.
