| Abstract(E) | The transition to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) comes with several challenges such as energy efficiency and the resulting driving range. The thermal management systems play a pivotal role ensuring optimal energy efficiency and passenger comfort. Refrigerants play a crucial role, as their properties impact heat exchange efficiency and overall energy consumption. This study presents a comprehensive benchmarking of the new refrigerant R-474A against R-1234yf and R-744 in a BEV thermal management system. A simulation has been conducted, beginning at system level, progressing to vehicle level, and concluding with evaluations under transient driving conditions across various driving patterns and temperature profiles. |
