Abstract

Thermal management systems (TMSs) are one of the key components of hybrid electric vehicles in terms of their impact on vehicle efficiency and performance, as well as the vehicle’s environmental footprint. In this chapter, an environmental assessment of hybrid electric vehicle thermal management systems is developed with respect to various refrigerants such as R134a, R600 (butane), R600a (isobutane), R1234yf (tetrafluoropropene) and dimethyl ether (DME). The energetic and exergetic COPs along with exergy destruction rates are analyzed for the TMS using each refrigerant. Also, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (in g CO2-eq/kWh) during operation and the sustainability index are determined under various system parameters, operating conditions, as well as carbon dioxide scenarios. Based on the results, all selected TMSs are determined to have higher energetic and exergetic COPs along with lower environmental impact than the baseline TMS (which uses R134a) except for the TMS using R1234yf. The highest efficiency and lowest environmental impact are achieved by TMS using DME with higher energetic and exergetic COPs (by 7.9 and 8.2 %, respectively) and lower GHG emissions (by 8.3 %) and higher sustainability index (by 3.3 %) than the baseline TMS.
