Method for controlling temperature of individual components and/or regions of vehicle e.g. electric car, involves heating electric energy storage device at moderate temperature by heat pump if necessary

摘要

The method involves providing a propulsive electric energy generating machine, supplying electric energy from an electric energy storage device, and heating the electric energy storage device at moderate temperature by a heat pump if necessary. The combustion engine of the vehicle is kept at moderate temperature by the heat pump. The preheating of the engine is started by the heat pump. The heat dissipated from the heat pump is transferred to the combustion engine through a heat exchanger. The passenger compartment of the vehicle is kept at moderate temperature by the heat pump.
