Abstract
A climate control system () for a cabin () of an electric vehicle () has at least one liquid-to-air heat exchanger () in heat exchange relation with air in the cabin and a set of control valves for selectively placing the climate control system in a cabin heating mode of operation in which hot liquid circulates through a hot liquid flow loop () and in a cabin cooling mode of operation in which cold liquid circulates through a cold liquid flow loop (). An electric compressor motor (M) is operated by electricity from a battery bank () for operating a refrigerant compressor (C) to circulate refrigerant in a refrigerant loop that comprises a refrigerant-to-liquid hot side heat exchanger () that provides the hot liquid and a refrigerant-to-liquid cold side heat exchanger () that provides the cold liquid.
