Research on the Control Strategy of the Hot Gas Bypass Cycle in Low-Temperature Heating Scenarios for Electric Vehicle Air Conditioners
Winter heating of passenger compartments in electric vehicles relies on vehicle air-conditioning systems, in which the air outlet temperature must be rapidly increased to the set value. These systems typically adopt a reverse Carnot heat-pump cycle, which does not achieve sufficient heating capacity in low-temperature environments, thus preventing the air outlet temperature from rapidly reaching the set temperature during cold starts. To ensure that the system provides sufficient heating capacity under these conditions, a hot-gas bypass heat-pump cycle was used to replace the reverse Carnot heat-pump cycle. By bypassing the refrigerant from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side, the suction pressure of the compressor was increased, ensuring stable operation of the compressor under low-temperature heating conditions. A staged hot-gas-bypass heat-control strategy, with an additional exhaust throttle valve to reduce the time required to establish high pressure, is proposed. A simulation model of a this proposed system, using R290 as the refrigerant, was established, and a test bench was built to calibrate the simulation model. Using this simulation, differences between the hot-gas-bypass heat-pump cycle and the reverse Carnot heat-pump cycle were examined, and the effects of the optimization strategy were verified. Under low-temperature conditions (-25 ℃ and -20 ℃), the proposed system achieved better heating performance than the reverse Carnot heat pump cycle. Relative to the pre-optimization control strategy, the proposed optimized hot-gas-bypass heat-pump cycle control strategy reduces the time required for the air outlet temperature to reach the target temperature by 36%.
