Abstract

The energy demand for conventionally heating the interior of a full electric vehicle can reduce the driving range by up to 50 %, if the energy is taken from the battery. Other heating concepts require complex additional heating equipment and can increase the weight of the vehicle significantly. This paper describes an energy efficient heating system using conductive heating coating, leading to reduced energy consumption and high comfort level due to the emission of infrared radiation.

Zusammenfassung

Der Energiebedarf für eine konventionell betriebene Innenraumheizung eines Elektrofahrzeugs kann die Reichweite um bis zu 50 % verringern, wenn die dazu benötige Energie aus der Traktionsbatterie entnommen wird. Andere Heizungskonzepte erfordern komplexe bzw. zusätzliche Systeme, welche jedoch erheblichen Einfluss auf das Gesamtgewicht des Fahrzeuges haben. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt eine energieeffiziente Heizungslösung basierend auf einem Infrarotstrahlungskonzept, welche neben der Reduktion des Energieverbrauchs auch zur Erhöhung des Komforts im Fahrzeuginnenraum beiträgt.
