The models for electric propulsion maintain the same shape, size, and mounting structure as the standard HVAC systems for combustion vehicles. This consistency simplifies development and production processes, ensuring that manufacturers can focus on innovation without worrying about compatibility.
Explore the advantages of our models like Falkon and ensure your electric vehicles deliver high-quality heating and cooling for unmatched safety and comfort in all working conditions.
EHVAC systems for electric vehicles
The EHVAC system leverages electric-powered components to deliver precise control over cabin temperature and airflow. For example, this Falkon unit combines advanced cooling and heating solutions tailored for electric vehicles in temperate conditions.
Key advantages:
- Efficient cooling: refrigerant flows through the evaporator to cool the cabin efficiently
- Preconditioning: automatically pre-heats or pre-cools the cabin while the vehicle is plugged in, preserving battery range
- Versatile voltage range: operates across a wide range of voltages for diverse applications
System components: EHVAC unit, e-compressor, condenser, chiller, central control unit KanBox
Heat pump systems for electric vehicles
The Heat Pump is the pinnacle of energy-efficient climate control for electric vehicles. Designed to minimize battery consumption, this system uses an evaporator and condenser to create a reversible air cycle for both cooling and heating.
Key advantages:
- Energy savings: The heat pump efficiently transfers heat in or out, significantly reducing electricity usage and preserving battery life.
- Automatic pre-heating: Pre-defrosts windows before driving, ensuring safety and convenience.
- Cold weather backup: For extreme cold temperatures the unit includes an electrical PTC heater to ensure reliable heating.
System components: heat pump unit, e-compressor, external exchanger, chiller, central control unit KanBox
EHHVAC systems for electric vehicles
In harsh, freezing climates, extended heating can quickly deplete battery life. The EHHVAC unit addresses this challenge by integrating a water heat exchanger, alongside the electrical PTC heater and evaporator.
Key Advantages:
- Fuel-assisted heating: the water heat exchanger provides supplemental heat from our fuel operated water heater Hydronic in extreme cold, reducing strain on the battery
- Reliable performance: maintains consistent cabin temperatures even in the harshest environments
- All-in-one system: combines electric and fuel-powered heating for versatile, all-weather capability
System components: EHHVAC unit, compressor, condenser, chiller, central control unit KanBox
More than comfort: reliable climate control for hybrid vehicles
Special vehicles demand superior performance, efficiency, and versatility, and hybrid engines are designed to meet those challenges head-on. By combining the strengths of electric and combustion technologies, hybrids deliver instant torque and high peak power for enhanced performance. At the same time, they extend range and endurance through the complementary use of battery power and fuel.
These advantages extend beyond propulsion, offering significant benefits to climate control systems as well. Falkon’s advanced models ensure safe, efficient, and reliable climate control tailored to the unique needs of hybrid vehicles.
EHHVAC systems for hybrid vehicles
Hybrid propulsion thrives on the synergy between electric and combustion technologies, and our systems like the Falkon EHHVAC take a similar approach to climate control. This model combines an evaporator, a heat exchanger, and an electrical PTC heater to deliver unparalleled versatility.
