Abstract:
Air conditioning system and method for a high-voltage battery of a vehicle includes a first heat exchanger provided in a battery housing, and a first blower for supplying air to the first heat exchanger. A second heat exchanger is provided in an air extractor of a trunk room, and a second blower supplies air to the second heat exchanger, thereby discharging air inside the trunk room to the outside after performing heat exchange. A peltier element is combined with the second heat exchanger such that a first surface thereof is in contact with the second heat exchanger. A cooling line arranged in such a way that a first end is in contact with a second surface of the peltier element, and a second end thereof exchanges heat between the second end and the first heat exchanger.
