Heat pump systems play a crucial role in improving the electric vehicle's efficiency, performance, and comfort. They have multiple functions, from heating and cooling the cabin (HVAC) to keeping the battery and other electronic components, directly or indirectly, at optimal temperatures for efficient performance and long battery life. Several combined pressure and temperature (PT) sensors monitor the refrigerant cycle, enabling the control unit to regulate the system via different valves.
TDK offers a range of PT sensors suitable for commonly used refrigerants, including R1234yf, R134a, R290, R32, and R410A.
