A battery pack temperature regulating apparatus includes an evaporator configured to cool air inside a battery casing receiving a battery used for driving a vehicle; an evaporator casing receiving the evaporator; and a heater attached to the evaporator casing and configured to heat the air inside the battery casing.

Battery pack temperature regulating apparatus

A refrigerant circulation apparatus includes: a vehicle-interior air conditioning () that cools an interior of a vehicle; an on-vehicle battery cooler () that includes an evaporator for on-vehicle battery cooling () that cools an on-vehicle battery mounted on the vehicle; and an electric compressor () that compresses and supplies a refrigerant to at least one of the vehicle-interior air conditioning () and the on-vehicle battery cooling (). The apparatus also includes: a temperature sensor () that detects a temperature of the electric compressor (); a pressure sensor () that detects a pressure of the refrigerant compressed by the electric compressor (); and a control unit () that restricts operation of the evaporator for on-vehicle battery cooling () to reduce load on the electric compressor () based on the temperature of the electric compressor () and the pressure of the refrigerant.

Refrigerant circulation apparatus with controlled operation of an evporator for on-vehicle battery cooling

A vehicle heating system comprising: a coolant circuit that circulates coolant between an engine and a heater core; heating device that heats coolant, which is interposed in the coolant circuit; a pump for coolant circulation, which is interposed in the coolant circuit; and a switching valve that switches the coolant flowing through the coolant circuit between a heater-core-side circuit that circuits the coolant among the heater core, the pump and the heating device and an engine-side circuit that circulates the coolant into the engine, wherein the switching valve has a thermo valve that switches channels so that the coolant coming from the engine-side circuit enters either one of the heater-core-side circuit and the engine-side circuit according to temperature of the coolant, and a bypass that delivers the coolant, which comes from the heater-core-side circuit, to the heater-core-side circuit.

Vehicle heating system

A power switching apparatus, configured to switch a power supply source that is configured to supply an electric power to an air conditioner that is mounted on a vehicle that can receive a power supply from a plurality of power sources, includes: a selecting unit configured to select the power supply source during execution of pre-air conditioning in which an operation of the air conditioner is started before start of running of the vehicle; and a setting unit configured to set a power supply to be supplied from the power supply source that is selected by the selecting unit, to the air conditioner.
