TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

An automobile temperature control system has a motor chamber on which a secondary cell or a fuel cell is mounted for driving wheels by a motor and a cabin and controlling a temperature of portions of the automobile. The temperature control system includes at least one catalytic heater and a fuel tank. The catalyst heater generates heat when an oxidizing gas and fuel from the fuel tank are supplied to the catalyst. At least part of the gas supplied to the catalyst and heated by the generated heat is subjected to circulative supply to the catalyst. The temperature of the portion of the automobile is controlled by using heat generated by the catalytic heater. As a result, a system is provided that efficiently controls the temperature of a portion of the automobile so that performance deterioration is prevented and comfortable running is realized even in a cold region.
