Standard Heat Pump
Last update: 28 Aug. 2023What is a Standard Heat Pump?
A Standard Heat Pump is the evolution of the Air Conditioning (A/C) system: it is now able to cool the cabin but also to warm it, using the thermodynamic cycle of a refrigerant gas.
Valeo develops multiple Standard Heat Pump architectures (Direct or Indirect) that serve as a “smart thermal network” to optimize overall energy and cabin comfort while maintaining driving range.
When the system is fully optimized, this Standard Heat Pump can extend the range of electric vehicles by up to 30% in winter.
Since our first serial application with a major European OEM, we have upgraded and simplified our system to improve efficiency (for example: adding a hygrometry sensor or enabling new functions such as Heat Recovery on battery and powertrain).
