Abstract
An electric compressor and a heat exchanger module including the same. The heat exchanger module includes heat exchanger components, a manifold, a bracket mounting the heat exchanger components and the manifold, and an electric compressor. Further, the heat exchanger module may perform cooling through heat exchange by separating an inverter module coupled to a compressor and attaching the separated inverter module to a chiller in which a working fluid at a low temperature flows.
Claims17
A heat exchanger module comprising:
- heat exchanger components;
- a manifold configured to provide a flow path for a fluid moving between the heat exchanger components;
- a bracket allowing the manifold and the heat exchanger components to be mounted thereon;
- and
- an electric compressor, wherein the electric compressor further comprises:
- a compression unit configured to compress a refrigerant;
- a motor unit configured to provide a driving force;
- a control unit on which circuitry components are mounted so as to control the motor unit, and wherein the control unit is installed separatedly from the compression unit and the motor unit, wherein among the heat exchanger components, the compression unit, and the motor unit of the electric compressor are disposed on one side of the bracket, and the control unit is disposed on another side of the bracket,
- wherein the heat exchanger components further comprise:
- first components disposed on a same side of the bracket and comprising the compression unit, the motor unit, a water condenser configured to heat exchange with the refrigerant discharged from the electric compressor, and an accumulator;
- second components disposed on a same side of the bracket as the control unit,
- wherein the second components further comprise:
- a first chiller configured to allow a fluid for cooling a battery module provided in a vehicle to flow therethrough;
- and
- a second chiller configured to allow a fluid for cooling a passenger compartment of the vehicle to flow therethrough.
