A Heat-Pump Air Conditioner based on Waste Heat Recovery Strategy for Hybrid Vehicles

[摘要] How to improve fuel range and efficiency is one of most important targets for hybrid Vehicles. As one solution, heat-Pump air conditioner has more advantages than traditional air conditioner, such as high heating efficiency and range extension. A new Heat-Pump air conditioner based on waste heat recovery strategy is presented in this paper. A heat exchanger between engine circuit and air conditioner circuit provides waste heat recovery. The new structure is built and simulated on a software-in-loop platform, which is based on KULI and Matlab/Simulink. Simulation results indicate that platform provide us higher COP (Coefficient of Performance) and rapid response time.
