    摘要: A cooling system has a primary stage; and a secondary stage including a secondary pressure reducing device configured to adopt a passive state and an active state, a cooling section for cooling an electric storage device, a pump, a secondary compressor, and a valve device arranged to selectively direct the refrigerant to the pump or to the secondary compressor. The secondary stage is controlled to operate in a first mode where the secondary pressure reducing device adopts the passive state, and the valve device directs the refrigerant to the pump; and control the secondary stage to operate in a second mode where the secondary pressure reducing device adopts the active state, and the valve device directs the refrigerant to the secondary compressor. In the second mode, the refrigerant is conveyed by the secondary stage is condensed in cooperation with the primary stage.

    摘要: A method for controlling heating of a vehicle thermal management system including an HVAC subsystem may include: determining, by a controller, a target temperature for heating a passenger compartment of a vehicle when the HVAC subsystem operates in heating mode; determining, by the controller, whether an internal temperature of the passenger compartment is lower than the target temperature; adjusting, by the controller, an opening amount of a heating-side expansion valve of the HVAC subsystem to a first opening amount and opening the heating-side expansion valve when the internal temperature is lower than the desired target temperature; and decreasing, by the controller, RPM of a compressor of the HVAC subsystem when the internal temperature is higher than or equal to the desired target temperature. The first opening amount is an opening amount of the heating-side expansion valve with which a heat capacity generated by a heating operation of the HVAC subsystem reaches a maximum heat capacity.
