“…Specific actions include research into solarreflective glass, parked car ventilation, naturally ventilated seating, and active climate-control seating. Another example includes improving the efficiency of air conditioning systems by matching the performance to the need and thus avoiding reheat in conventional heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems [2,3]. Also, the benefits of electronic control of accessory loads such as pumps and valves [4][5][6][7][8] in relation to improved component operating efficiency, improved control, or reduced parasitic power loads are gaining acceptance.…”

“…The reduced waste heat can have a negative impact on vehicle functions that require heat, such as cabin heating. Suggested technologies discussed in literature [3,4] include electric heaters, fuel fired heaters, heat pumps, exhaust gas heaters, and viscous shear heaters. Of the proposed technologies, heat pumps have received significant attention due to potential efficiency benefits by recovering heat from an external sink [19][20][21][22][23].…”

A critical element to the success of new propulsion technologies that enable reductions in fuel use is the integration of component thermal management technologies within a viable vehicle package. Vehicle operation requires vehicle thermal management systems capable of balancing the needs of multiple vehicle systems that may require heat for operation, require cooling to reject heat, or require operation within specified temperature ranges. As vehicle propulsion transitions away from a single form of vehicle propulsion based solely on conventional internal combustion engines (ICEs) toward a wider array of choices including more electrically dominant systems such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), new challenges arise associated with vehicle thermal management. As the number of components that require active thermal management increase, so do the costs in terms of dollars, weight, and size. Integrated vehicle thermal management is one pathway to address the cost, weight, and size challenges. The integration of the power electronics and electric machine (PEEM) thermal management with other existing vehicle systems is one path for reducing the cost of electric drive systems. This work demonstrates techniques for evaluating and quantifying the integrated transient and continuous heat loads of combined systems incorporating electric drive systems that operate primarily under transient duty cycles, but the approach can be extended to include additional steady-state duty cycles typical for designing vehicle thermal management systems of conventional vehicles. The work compares opportunities to create an integrated low temperature coolant loop combining the power electronics and electric machine with the air conditioning system in contrast to a high temperature system integrated with the ICE cooling system.
