Integrated temperature control system for vehicle and control method thereof

A method for controlling an integrated temperature control system of a vehicle, wherein the integrated temperature control system is an integrated temperature control system comprising an air suspension subsystem comprising a working medium, the working medium being a flame retardant gas, and a temperature control subsystem, which is connected to the air suspension subsystem and includes a refrigerant, wherein the temperature control subsystem is configured to operably receive the working medium in the air suspension subsystem, and is configured to perform control based on the refrigerant leakage concentration in the temperature control subsystem and a signal related to the refrigerant leakage, so as to selectively inject the working medium into the interior of the temperature control subsystem, the method comprising:

• detecting the refrigerant leakage concentration and a signal related to the refrigerant leakage in the temperature control subsystem;
• based on the refrigerant leakage concentration and a signal related to the refrigerant leakage, the working medium in the air suspension subsystem is transported to the temperature control subsystem;
• spraying the working medium onto various components of the temperature control subsystem;
• and
• when the spraying continues for a period of time and it is detected that the pressure inside the temperature control subsystem exceeds the set value, the gas in the temperature control subsystem is discharged through a pressure relief valve.

• detecting the refrigerant leakage concentration and a signal related to the refrigerant leakage in the temperature control subsystem;
• determining a risk level of the temperature control subsystem based on the refrigerant leakage concentration and a signal related to the refrigerant leakage;
• when the risk level is low, sending a refrigerant leakage alarm and corresponding driving advice to a driver of a vehicle to which the integrated temperature control system belongs;
• when the risk level is moderate, sending a refrigerant leakage alarm and corresponding driving advice to the driver of the vehicle, sending a distance keeping request to the driver of a vehicle adjacent to the vehicle, and ventilating the temperature control subsystem with the external environment to reduce the refrigerant leakage concentration;
• and
• when the risk level is high, a refrigerant leakage alarm, a parking alarm and an evacuation alarm are sent to the driver of the vehicle, a distance keeping request is sent to the drivers of vehicles adjacent to the vehicle, a rescue request and the location information of the vehicle are sent to the fire department, the working medium in the air suspension subsystem is transported to the temperature control subsystem, and the working medium is sprayed onto various components of the temperature control subsystem.
