IN-CABIN TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for controlling the in-cabin temperature of a hybrid vehicle.

SOLUTION: The system for controlling the in-cabin temperature of the hybrid vehicle is provided. The system includes a thermo-electric module; a heat exchanger; a pump; and a valve. The thermo-electric module includes a thermo-electric element operated by electric energy and releasing or absorbing heat energy based on a polarity of the fed electric energy. A pipe for storing cooling water is passes through the neighborhood to the thermo-electric element. A fan for generating an air stream crossing the thermo-electric element and the pipe is provided in order to assist transmission of the heat energy. The cooling water heats or cools the air stream fed from the thermo-electric module to the heat exchanger and fed into a cabin. The pump pressurizes the cooling water passing through the pipe and a cooling water line and further, the valve is constituted so as to selectively by-pass an engine cooling system of the vehicle at a cooling mode.
