Component carrier for CO2 Heatpump System
As part of the further development of the topic management of an electric bus, a specially designed component carrier was implemented as an integral part of the EmCO2s system. EmCO2s-Systems is a climate network for temperature control of all areas in an electric bus: both in the driver's area, the passenger zones and the temperature-sensitive bus components, such as the battery or electrical components.
The component carrier includes energy carrier modules for hot and cold water, a compressor, a booster and a sophisticated battery temperature management system.
The two energy carrier modules of the EmCO2S system collects the heat that is not required in the bus and store it. When required, the heat is given back into the system, directly to the places in the bus interior where it is currently needed. This means the system can heat and cool simultaneously: e.g. cooling the batteries and heating the passenger compartment.
Advantages
- 0-emissions - annual energy consumption is reduced by up to 57%
- Up to 60 % higher range
- Eco-friendly cooling and heating System with natural refrigerant R744 (CO2)
