  • Patent number: 10549625
    Abstract: A method for controlling an active air flap (AAF) based on an aerodynamic force gain may include an AAF optimization cooling-related mode in which the AAF is configured to be controlled to operate in an AAF open state or an AAF close state to match a detected ambient temperature and a detected vehicle speed when an operation of a heating device is detected by a controller during vehicle traveling.

  • Publication number: 20190118619
    Abstract: A method of controlling an air conditioning system for a vehicle is provided. The method includes setting a scheduled heating and performing charging of the battery and the scheduled heating. A desire target temperature (DTT) of a user is then received and a discharge temperature of air supplied into the vehicle is compared with the DTT to adjust revolutions per minute (RPM) of a compressor. When the RPM of the compressor is adjusted the RPM of the compressor is determined based on whether the discharge temperature is the same as the DTT, and whether to operate the electric heater is determined.

  • Publication number: 20170158081
    Abstract: A vehicle battery cooling system is provided and includes an air conditioning device including a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and first expansion valve connected via a refrigerant line and circulates refrigerant to reduce temperature within the vehicle. An electric unit cooling device includes an electric unit radiator and water pump connected with a cooling line and circulates cooling water to cool a motor and electric unit. A battery module connects with the cooling device via a battery cooling line. A chiller connects with the refrigerant line via a first connection line and the battery cooling line via a second connection line, and adjusts cooling water temperature by selectively heat-exchanging cooling water and refrigerant. Another water pump is disposed on the battery cooling line between the battery module and the chiller and a heater is disposed on the battery cooling line between the other water pump and the battery module.
