| Abstract: | In this study, a vapor-injection (VI) cycle designed for indoor heating of electric vehicle (EV) was investigated for low temperature heating purposes. The heating capacity variation was observed both in mathematical and experimental ways to verify the influence of vapor injection at different injecting positions and under different intermediate pressure. From this study, the optimal injection position of the scroll compressor and intermediate pressure ratio were evaluated that maximizes heating capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) of the cycle. To validate the numerical results, the experiment was also conducted in the prototype of a vapor-injection (VI) heating system for electric vehicle. The experiment was carried out under the steady-state condition and the same parameters as those of numerical analysis were employed. The comparison between the results of numerical analysis and that of experiments showed a good agreement. For the increase of heating capacity, the optimal injecting port position was observed in specific value which was close to 300°. As the opening of the main expansion valve was decreased, the performance of the VI system generally got better but the system had much restricted intermediate pressure ratio in which the performance was drastically decreased. As a result, the optimal intermediate pressure ratio occurred in specific value below 0.25 in startup condition. |
