Developing a Methodology for the Evaluation of Hybrid Vehicle Thermal Management Systems

Abstract

How can Thermal Management System Evaluation be defined? Performance--does it meet the demand of maximum load at worst case boundary conditions? Is the TMS operational power demand (hotel load) disproportionately large? Size--it TMS disproportionately oversized in terms of: volume, weight. An evaluation metric structure could be developed that would: provide a means for comparison for and/or across classes of vehicles, evaluate design maturity and point toward potential issues, identify significant technological advancement.
