An Automotive Hybrid Heating System for Parallel Hybrid Passenger Cars

摘要

The advancements in hybrid and electric vehicles require an optimal utilization of the on-board energy sources to increase vehicle fuel economy, provide a safe and com- fortable driving environment, and extend heating and cooling capacity range. Recently, the application of paral- lel propulsion technology to design and build hybrid vehi- cles has caused new concerns on climate control engineering. This study is the first to address the chal- lenges on developing an innovative heating system for parallel hybrid vehicle applications.
