ABSTRACT: In order to alleviate the endurance anxiety and charging anxiety in the development of electric vehicles, super fast charging and heat pump technologies will be applied to the next generation of vehicle platforms, but they also bring new challenges to the thermal management system. The functional requirements of thermal management systems are increasing, and the complexity of the system and the types and quantities of components are increasing rapidly. Integration has become a solution to simplify the system and reduce costs. The first thing to do is to integrate the physical and functional integration of multiple coolant valves, and integrate the switching of thermal management loop into one valve. Through mechanical integration with other actuators, sensors and heat exchangers in the coolant circuit and refrigeration circuit, the space utilization rate of thermal management system is improved, which provides convenience for the modular design of main engine models. In the future, it will complement the integration of electronic and electrical architecture to achieve a higher degree of drive, control and software integration.
