CLEVER: CLimate control solution for EVs with Extended mileage Range

汽车空调是非常耗能的。在内燃机中，高达8%的燃料被使用，但在电动汽车中，可以再利用的废热有限。这意味着需要高达40%的电池能量，这直接影响到车辆的行驶里程。解决这个问题的一种方法是更频繁地使用循环模式，但这种方法的用途有限，特别是在乘客很多的车辆上，因为乘员呼吸会增加二氧化碳（CO2）水平。smart项目（用于延长行驶里程的电动汽车的气候控制解决方案）旨在展示车内空气可以像气泡一样主动管理，以便在再循环模式下，将二氧化碳和其他污染物保持在设定的水平。这一概念有可能使电动汽车的行驶里程增加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来实现的，它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.
