EV Heat Pump System Fundamentals
Credits : - 0.3
About the Course:
This EV Heat Pump System Fundamentals microcredential trains EV technicians to understand, inspect, and work with heat pump systems used for efficient cabin heating, cooling, and battery thermal management in electric vehicles.
Learners will explore key heat pump components, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, refrigerant circuits, and associated sensors and controls. Through immersive training, they will practice identifying components, understanding refrigerant flow, monitoring system operation, and performing basic inspection procedures.
The course emphasizes safe handling, thermal management, system efficiency, and identifying common heat pump issues that may affect cabin comfort, battery performance, and overall EV operation.
Learners can also build on these skills through our EV thermal management training, covering cooling systems, heat exchangers, and thermal control.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify major components of an EV heat pump system
- Understand the basic operation and refrigerant flow within a heat pump system
- Explain the role of heat pumps in cabin climate control and battery thermal management
- Identify heating and cooling operating modes
- Inspect heat pump components, connections, and related systems
- Monitor system temperature, pressure, and operating conditions
- Recognize common heat pump faults and abnormal operating conditions
- Apply appropriate safety procedures when working with EV thermal management systems
