Summary

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are a key contributor to reducing the Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector, and consequently mitigating global warming. EVs comprise different tightly-knit subsystems, including: body and chassis, battery, powertrain, charging and voltage management, cabin, and thermal management system (TMS). The TMS is responsible for achieving the best operating thermal conditions for the other subsystems of an EV. Moreover, the TMS is responsible for routing thermal energy between the different EV subsystems to achieve best overall EV performance and efficiency.
This work reviews the state of the art in TMS. This includes the state of the art in: the general architectures of the TMS and the potentials of energy recovery between the different EV subsystems, the thermal design of
the cabin and the arrangement of the air distribution system, the means of assessing and achieving thermal human comfort, the different methods for enhancing the capacity and the coefficient of performance of the refrigerant system (vapor compression system), the performance of some of the main refrigerants used in automobile applications, and the main types of coolants and their properties. The paper concludes with insights on potential TMS improvements, and areas for future research.
