Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for controlling power consumption of a compressor of an automotive vehicle climate system may include identifying an energy source providing energy to power the compressor and selecting an operating parameter of the climate system based on the identified energy source to control power consumption of the compressor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A vehicle comprising: a battery; an engine; a regenerative braking system; a climate system including a variable capacity compressor; and a controller configured to alter a response time of the controller based on which of the battery, engine, and braking system is providing energy to power the compressor such that power consumption of the compressor is greater in response to the braking system providing energy to power the compressor as compared with the engine. 2. A method of operating a vehicle climate system including a variable capacity compressor comprising: altering, by one or more controllers, a response time of the one or more controllers based on which of a power storage unit, engine, and braking system is providing energy to power the compressor such that power consumption of the compressor is greater in response to the braking system providing energy to power the compressor as compared with the engine.
