Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A hybrid electric vehicle having an air conditioning system, an engine and a belt-alternator-starter motor-generator, and a method of operation, is disclosed. A torque transfer assembly, such as a pulley and belt assembly, engages the engine and motor-generator, and includes a clutched member for selectively disconnecting the torque transfer between the engine and motor-generator. A refrigerant compressor includes a compressor shaft rotationally coupled to and driven by the motor-generator shaft. The compressor may be driven by the motor-generator when the engine is not operating.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a refrigerant compressor in a hybrid electric vehicle employing a belt-alternator-starter motor-generator, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a motor-generator shaft in the motor-generator with a direct connection to an electronically controlled, clutched pulley, an accessory drive pulley mounted on an engine shaft of an engine, and an accessory drive belt mounted around the accessory drive pulley and the clutched pulley…
