TY - JOUR TI - Heat pump air conditioning system for pure electric vehicle at ultra-low temperature AU - Li Hai-Jun AU - Zhou Guang-Hui AU - Li An-Gui AU - Li Xu-Ge AU - Li Ya-Nan AU - Chen Jie JN - Thermal Science PY - 2014 VL - 18 IS - 5 SP - 1667 EP - 1672 PT - Article AB - When the ordinary heat pump air conditioning system of a pure electric vehicle runs at ultra-low temperature, the discharge temperature of compressor will be too high and the heating capacity of the system will decay seriously, it will lead to inactivity of the heating system. In order to solve this problem, a modification is put forward, and an experiment is also designed. The experimental results show that in the same conditions, this new heating system increases more than 20% of the heating capacity; when the outside environment temperature is negative 20 degrees, the discharge temperature of compressor is below 60 degrees.
