The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of supplemental cooling and heating system equipped with the 1 kW thermoelectric module. The system consist of 96 thermoelectric modules, heat sink with louver fin and water cooling jacket which is attached on the hot side of the thermoelectric module. The cooling and heating performance test of the thermoelectric system is conducted with various conditions, such as intake voltage, air inlet temperature, air flow volume, water inlet temperature and water flow rate at calorimeter chamber in consideration of environmental conditions in realistic vehicle drive. The experimental results of a thermoelectric system shows that the cooling capacity and COP is 1.03 kW, and 1.0, and heating capacity and COP is 1.53 kW, and 1.5 respectively.

The battery of an electric vehicle is a key part of the energy supply to operate the vehicles. There are many factors affecting battery life such as charging method, discharge rate, and ambient temperature those are requires systematic monitoring and management. To solve the issues like environmental problems and fuel consumption reduction the battery needs more performance improvement. In this study, it was analyzed the thermal characteristics and securing battery stability for electric vehicle battery cooling system. The simulation test was operated using GT-suite software with several conditions like cooling capacity 1, 2 and 4 kW, cooling flow rate 5, 10, 20 and 30 LPM, and battery initial temperatures 40, 35, and 30℃ at the temperature of ambient 25℃. The results shown that the case of cooling flow rate at 20 LPM was most efficient among all above conditions.

In this study, the prediction method of coolant flow rates has been developed and applied to an engine and vehicle cooling system. The flow rate passing through each component of the system is very important parameter to evaluate the heat transfer process form the combustion gas to the coolant and the heat rejection process form the radiator /heater to the ambient air. However, the present study reveals that the measurement using the flowmeter fails to give practical flow rates due to its additive resistance. In contrast, the present method which uses the parallel and serial relationship of flow resistance proved to be a good tool to predict the real flow rates. It can be also used to design the cooling system in the incipient stage of engine/vehicle development . The procedure was coded to the computer program so as to use it flexibly and, in the future, to expand it into an independent design tool of the whole cooling system including the heat release and rejection.

The general method which changes sub-cooling of refrigerant is to control the expansion valve in the state of mixing with liquid and gas phase. In this study, the performance of vehicle air conditioning system is to control either changing the expansion valve or adding the sub condenser. Therefore, this research finally is tested in case of the fourth test procedure, the second test was suitable for a valve opening area due to adjusting valve slope in comparison with the other test. The other test except for the second test happened to do liquid back due to the excessively liquified refrigerant into the system. In conclusion, the second test was appeared not to be influenced upon liquid back, and it is to expect positive performance by controlling an expansion valve. Therefore, it will be also useful to research for an increase of compressor efficiency Performance improvement of an air conditioner is to reinforce the suction performance of the evaporator and increase the sub-cooling, which make use of the sub-cooling system.

Heat transfer coefficient and fin efficiency of a heat exchanger dispersed in the microelement of control volume were predicted with various flow patterns, conditions and material properties. A computational program was developed by using the method of efficiency-NTU(Number of transfer unit). The modelling was applied to heat exchangers, also was integrated in power pack cooling system in an armored vehicle. The compatibility and the generality were proved by comparing the prediction values with the test results. The developed program may be useful for the design of the cooling system in an armored vehicle.

Average temperature and temperature uniformity in a battery cell are the important criteria of the thermal management of the battery pack for hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEVs and EVs) because high power with large size cell is used for the battery pack. Thus, liquid cooling system is generally applied for the HEV/EV battery pack. The liquid cooling system is made of multiple cooling plates with coolant flow paths. The cooling plates are inserted between the battery cells to reject the heat from batteries to coolant. In this study, the cooling plate with U-shaped coolant flow paths is considered to evaluate the effects of coolant flow condition on the cooling performance of the system. The counter flow and parallel flow set up is compared and the effect of flow rate is evaluated using CFD tool (FLUENT). The number of counter-flows and flow rate are changed and the effect on the cooling performance including average temperature, differential temperature, and standard deviation of temperature are investigated. The results show that the parallel flow has better cooling performance compared with counter flow and it is also found that the coolant flow rate should be chosen with the consideration of trade-off between the cooling performance and pressure drop.

상용차에 장착된 리타더(retarder)는 상용 브레이크를 보조하는 유압식 브레이크 시스템으로써 운전자의 자동모드 및 수동모드 선택에 의해 작동된다. 리타더 작동에 의해 발생된 열은 리타더 오일에 전달되며 리타더의 냉각기와 차량의 냉각시스템에 의해 열교환이 일어난다. 이때 리타더의 ECU는 자동모드와 수동모드, 리타더 오일/냉각수 온도, 엔진 냉각수 온도, 차량속도 등을 고려하여 제동토크를 조정하는 기능을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 냉각 시스템 관련 리타더 제어로직 설계와 리타더 제동성능에 따른 시험결과를 제시하고자 한다.

본 논문은 전기차 기반의 1톤급 상용차용 통합공조 시스템에 관한 연구이다. 전기 상용차의 경우 화물의 승하차를 위해 문의 개폐가 빈번하게 이루어지기 때문에 열손실이 크게 발생한다. 따라서 냉난방 부하가 승용 전기차에 비해 더 크게 요구된다. 결과적으로 승객이 요구하는 열 쾌적성을 만족하기 위해서 냉난방 시스템이 소비하는 에너지가 승용 전기차 보다 크다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 효율적인 통합공조 시스템을 적용한 연구를 수행했다. 최종적으로 1톤급의 경상용 전기트럭의 상품성 개선과 전기트럭 분야의 산업 생태계 기반 확충을 위한 고효율 공조 시스템 개발을 위해 냉방을 위한 전동식 압축기와 난방을 위한 히트펌프 시스템의 구상 설계와 해석적 검증을 수행한다.
