CLEVER: CLimate control solution for EVs with Extended mileage Range

汽车上的空调是非常耗能的。在内燃机中，燃料的使用率高达8%，但在电动汽车中，可以重复利用的余热有限。这意味着可能需要高达40%的电池能量，这直接影响到车辆的续航里程。解决这个问题的一种方法是更频繁地使用再循环模式，但这种方法的使用有限，特别是在有很多乘客的车辆上，因为二氧化碳(CO2)水平是乘员呼吸的结果。聪明的项目(针对续航里程延长的电动汽车的气候控制解决方案)旨在表明，可以像气泡一样积极管理车辆内的空气，以便在再循环模式下，二氧化碳和其他污染物保持在设定的水平。这一概念有可能将电动汽车的续航里程增加25%，同时保护乘客免受外部污染物的影响。这是通过使用可再生的二氧化碳洗涤器实现的，该洗涤器从机舱捕获二氧化碳，并定期将其释放到外部。

Air conditioning in vehicles is very energy intensive. In internal combustion engines up to 8% of the fuel is used, but in EVs there is limited waste heat that can be reused. This means that up to 40% of the energy within the battery can be required, which directly impacts the range of the vehicle. One way to address this is to engage the recirculation mode more frequently, but this has limited use, particularly in vehicles with many passengers, as carbon dioxide (CO2) levels build up as a result of the occupants breathing.The CLEVER project (CLimate control solution for EVs with Extended mileage Range) aims to show that the air within the vehicle can be actively managed like a bubble, so that on recirculation mode, CO2 and other contaminants are kept to set levels. This concept has the potential to increase the range of electric vehicles by 25%, whilst simultaneously protecting passengers from external pollutants. It is achieved by using a regenerable CO2 scrubber, that captures CO2 from the cabin, and periodically releases it to the outside.
