Abstract
A thermal management system for an electric vehicle includes an interior air conditioning part including an air inflow part, an air discharge part, a cooling core, a heating core arranged between the cooling core and the air discharge part, and an adjustment door. The adjustment door is selectively adjustable to control whether air from the cooling core may flow into the heating core. A heat transfer line connects an electric part core to the heating core for transferring that heat of the electric part to the heating core, in order to allow heat dissipation of the electric part through the heating core.
Claims13
A thermal management system for an electric vehicle, comprising:
- an interior air conditioning part including an air inflow part, an air discharge part, a cooling core, a heating core arranged between the cooling core and the air discharge part, and an adjustment door for selectively adjusting whether air having passed through the cooling core flows into the heating core;
- and
- a heat transfer line having first and second sides respectively connected to an electric part and to the heating core to be heat-transferrable, so that heat of the electric part is transferred to the heating core, thereby allowing the electric part to dissipate the heat through the heating core,
- wherein the heat transfer line comprises a heat pipe containing a fluid, and
- wherein the heating core is positioned above the electric part in a height direction of the electric vehicle.
