Guchen EAC will supply electric air-conditioning compressors for 2 new models of electric vehicles of the Qatar New Energy Automobile unit under state-backed BAIC Group starting in October, it announced yesterday.
One model is Heat Pump type DC320v Electric compressor: For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, heat pump electric compressor offer an energy-efficient alternative to air conditioners.
The other model is Heat Pump DC350v eCompressor: 200-year-old heat pump technology is boosting the efficiency of the latest EVs. In an EV, reversible heat pump electric compressor can be used to both warm the battery and cool it. When cooling it, the excess heat from the battery can be sent to the cabin heater. A heat pump compressor can also move heat from the ambient air to the cabin heater. Guchen EAC technical team was the first to do this, but not all EVs have embraced this technology yet.
