The automotive electric HVAC compressors are essential for preventing vehicle breakdowns and maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature while protecting the battery pack from overheating. HVAC stands for automotive electric heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, serving as a crucial component for cooling functions in automotive vehicles.

The primary product types of automotive electric HVAC compressors include scroll, screw, swash, and wobble compressors. The scroll type is widely used in vehicles due to its advantages, such as fewer moving parts and lower torque variations. Scroll electric HVAC compressors operate in a circular movement rather than the up-and-down piston action found in other compressors. These compressors are employed in various types of vehicles, including passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles (LCV), heavy commercial vehicles (HCV), and buses and coaches. The cooling capacities range from less than 20 CC to more than 60 CC, and they are utilized in different drivetrains, such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).
