Abstract: A method for controlling heating of a vehicle thermal management system is provided. The method includes activating, by a controller, a compressor of an HVAC subsystem when heating of a passenger compartment is required and determining whether a heat rejection from a powertrain component is greater than or equal to a reference heat rejection. A powertrain-side pump is activated and a battery-side pump is stopped when the heat rejection is greater than or equal to the reference heat rejection. A refrigerant circulating in the HVAC subsystem exchanges heat with a powertrain coolant having absorbed heat from the powertrain component.

Abstract: A method for controlling heating of a vehicle thermal management system including an HVAC subsystem may include: determining, by a controller, a target temperature for heating a passenger compartment of a vehicle when the HVAC subsystem operates in heating mode; determining, by the controller, whether an internal temperature of the passenger compartment is lower than the target temperature; adjusting, by the controller, an opening amount of a heating-side expansion valve of the HVAC subsystem to a first opening amount and opening the heating-side expansion valve when the internal temperature is lower than the desired target temperature; and decreasing, by the controller, RPM of a compressor of the HVAC subsystem when the internal temperature is higher than or equal to the desired target temperature. The first opening amount is an opening amount of the heating-side expansion valve with which a heat capacity generated by a heating operation of the HVAC subsystem reaches a maximum heat capacity.

Abstract: A method for controlling pressure in a vehicle thermal management system, includes: determining, by a controller, whether only the battery pack is cooled when cooling of a passenger compartment is desired; stopping, by the controller, the compressor when it is determined that only the battery pack is cooled; determining, by the controller, whether a noise generation condition is satisfied after stopping the compressor.

Abstract: A vehicle HVAC system includes: a casing to direct air from outdoors into the interior of a passenger compartment, an air blower blowing the air into the casing, an evaporator disposed in the casing, a heater core disposed downstream of the evaporator, and front and rear seat side temperature doors disposed between the evaporator and the heater core. A method for controlling the HVAC system includes: determining, by a controller, whether a required temperature for cooling rear seats is set to be lower than a required temperature for cooling front seats after an outdoor condition of a vehicle meets a reference high temperature condition; and lowering, by the controller, a target temperature of the evaporator based on the set required temperature for cooling the rear seats when the required temperature for cooling the rear seats is set to be lower than the required temperature for cooling the front seats.
