The heat pump air conditioning system of the air-supplemented pure electric passenger car is set up to study its refrigeration performance. The results show that in a high environment temperature of 50°C, compared with the non-supplemented system, the discharge temperature in the low pressure supplemental gas system drops by 13.54°C, the refrigeration capacity reduces by 2.0%, the compressor power drops by 3.4%, and the refrigeration coefficient increases by 1.4%.
