Energies, Vol. 11, Pages 2000: Complex Heat Pump Operational Mode Identification and Comparison for Use in Electric Vehicles Energies doi: 10.3390/en11082000 Authors: James Jeffs Andrew McGordon Alex Picarelli Simon Robinson Yashraj Tripathy Widanalage Dhammika Widanage Previous research has focused on the use of heat pumps in electric vehicles, with the focus on recuperating heat from, normally, ambient and one thermal source on the vehicle. Here 5 potential thermal sources on a vehicle have been identified and thorough testing on the benefit of each source has been performed. The results presented suggest the motor, a thermal storage device, and cabin exhaust extraction should be used >80% of the time according to the scenarios tested, while battery heating and transmission heat extraction should be used subject to conditions on the ambient temperature and drive cycle.
