Waste heat needn’t go to waste. Using thermal energy from the electric motors, battery, and ambient air, the Plus pack’s heat pump warms up the cabin and extends the real-life range of the Polestar 2.
Waste heat needn’t go to waste. Using thermal energy from the electric motors, battery, and ambient air, the Plus pack’s heat pump warms up the cabin and extends the real-life range of the Polestar 2.
Just like a refrigerator, the heat pump pulls unwanted heat from the air by evaporating a liquid refrigerant into a gas. By compressing the back gas into a liquid, the temperature rises and the pump redirects useful heat to the cabin.
The heat pump uses a compressor to drive the refrigerant, moving heat from other parts of the car to the cabin. As this process is more efficient than an electric heater, it saves battery power and helps to extend the Polestar 2’s real-life range.
