This article explores two transformative industry trends: the integration of thermal systems—combining multiple functions into compact, energy-efficient modules—and the adoption of carbon dioxide (CO2 or R744) heat pumps as eco-friendly, high-performance alternatives to traditional heating methods.

With a GWP of just 3 and zero ozone impact, R290 (propane) delivers powerful, energy-efficient cooling—cutting EV compressor load by up to 30%. Advanced safety innovations like flame-retardant hoses, leak sensors, and automatic shut-off valves are unlocking its full potential. R290 is cost-effective, eco-friendly, and ready to drive the next generation of sustainable vehicle HVAC systems.

The Xiaomi SU7 features a highly integrated thermal management system designed to optimize the temperature control of the cabin, battery pack, and electric drive system. Central to this setup is the implementation of a 9-way valve that allows dynamic coolant routing across multiple components. With support from various domain controllers and smart actuators, the system enables efficient operation under different thermal scenarios—such as heat pump mode, cabin cooling, battery cooling, and motor heat dissipation. This article explores the structure, components, and working modes of the SU7’s thermal architecture in detail.
