Abstrakt

R744 is considered a highly promising alternative to PFAS-based refrigerants in electric vehicle air conditioning/heat pump systems. However, the throttling loss in an AC/HP cycle using R744 is relatively higher than in a cycle using PFAS producing refrigerants. It is possible to address this challenge by using a two-phase ejector that uses the expansion work of the high-pressure refrigerant to boost and compress the low-pressure refrigerant. In this article, a thermodynamic analysis is carried out to investigate the advantages of integrating a two-phase ejector into the electric vehicle AC/HP cycles. In this study, three cabin cooling modes, two cabin heating modes, and one fast charging mode are investigated. According to the results, the compressor power can be reduced by about 20%. Furthermore, the compressor displacement can be reduced by about 25%.
