The body part 110 may have various forms, and may have a form similar to a pillar as a form in which the inside is empty.

The electrode portion 120 may be disposed in contact with the electrolytic water IL in the main body portion 110. The electrode portion 120 may include a plurality of

electrodes

121, 122, 123.

For example, the electrode unit 120 may include 3

As another example, the first channel portion 101 may be connected to a lower portion or a side surface area of the body portion 110.

As an alternative example, the pump section PP may be arranged so as to be connected to the first channel section 101.

The pump section PP can apply pressure so that the electrolytic water IL heated in the main body section 110 is easily transferred to the heat accommodating section 190 through the first flow path section 101. When the heated electrolyzed water IL is transferred from the first channel portion 101 to the heat storage portion 190 by the control of the pump portion PP, the amount and flow rate of the electrolyzed water IL passing through can be controlled.

As an alternative embodiment, a valve unit VT may be disposed in connection with the first channel unit 101.

As an alternative embodiment, a temperature sensing part 140 may be provided to measure the temperature of the electrolyzed water IL, thereby controlling the heating degree of the electrolyzed water IL.

For example, the temperature sensing unit 140 may be connected to the second flow path unit 102 to measure the temperature of the electrolyzed water IL passing through the second flow path unit 102. Although not shown, the temperature sensing part 140 may be connected to the first channel part 101.

In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the temperature sensing part 140 may be formed and arranged to measure the temperature of the electrolyzed water IL in the second flow path part 102 in real time.

As an alternative embodiment, the temperature sensing unit 140 may be connected to the second flow path unit 102 to reduce or prevent the degradation of temperature measurement accuracy, the deterioration of performance, and the malfunction or the occurrence of a failure due to the heated electrolyzed water IL flowing through the first flow path unit 101.

As an alternative embodiment, a cooling part (not shown in the drawings) may be disposed adjacent to the temperature sensing part 140 in order to control overheating of the temperature sensing part 140.

The control part 130 may be formed to control the current connected to the electrode part 120.

As an alternative embodiment, the control part 130 may be connected to the conductive part WL connected to each of the

electrodes

121, 122, 123 of the electrode part 120.

Thus, the control unit 130 can control the current applied to the electrode unit 120 in real time.

At this time, the control unit 130 may check the amount of current applied to the electrode unit 120 and control the current to be increased or decreased according to the set value.

As an alternative example, the control unit 130 may confirm the amount of current supplied to the electrode unit 120 in real time and control the current to be increased or decreased according to a set value, thereby reducing a rapid temperature change of the electrolyzed water IL.

In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the control unit 130 may be connected to the temperature sensing unit 140, and may control the current applied to the electrode unit 120 using the temperature measured by the temperature sensing unit 140. For example, when the temperature measured by the temperature sensing part 140 exceeds the normal setting range, the current connected to the electrode part 120 may be decreased to be lower than the normal setting range, and when the temperature measured by the temperature sensing part 140 is less than the normal setting range, the current connected to the electrode part 120 may be increased to be higher than the normal setting range.

At this time, the control portion 130 may have information of "decreased temperature" or "increased temperature" set higher or lower than such a normal setting range as a value set in advance.

In addition, as another example, the control part 130 may compare the measured temperature with a normal setting range, change the current according to "increase width" and "decrease width" corresponding to the difference value, and information on the current value to be changed according to such "increase width" and "decrease width" may be previously set, and the control part 130 may possess the information.

As an alternative embodiment, the control part 130 may be connected in a state of being spaced apart from the temperature sensing part 140 so as to perform communication.

As another example, the control part 130 may be disposed in connection with the temperature sensing part 140, and specifically, the control part 130 may be disposed on one surface of the temperature sensing part 140.

In addition, as another example, the control part 130 may be integrally formed with the temperature sensing part 140.

The control part 130 may have various forms so as to easily vary the current. For example, various kinds of switches may be included, and a contactless relay such as a Solid State Relay (SSR) may be included for sensitive and rapid control.

As an alternative embodiment, a cooling part (not shown in the drawings) may be disposed adjacent to the control part 130 in order to control the overheating of the control part 130.

In addition, as an alternative embodiment, it may be formed so that a user can control such a control portion 130, for example, so that a driver or a fellow passenger seated in the inner space CUI of the vehicle CU can control. For example, at least one region of the control unit 130 may be disposed toward the internal space CUI, and as another example, a controller (not shown) connected to the control unit 130 in a wired or wireless manner may be disposed in the internal space CUI, and the user may control the control unit 130 through the controller.

In the vehicle heating system of the present embodiment, the electrolytic water can be heated by controlling the current supplied to the electrode of the electrode unit in the main body. Such electrolyzed water can be transferred to the heat accommodating portion through the first flow path portion.

The outside air is heated by absorbing heat while passing through the heated electrolytic water transferred to the heat receiving portion, and the vehicle can be easily heated by the heated air. As a specific example, such heated air may be delivered to an interior space of a vehicle in which a driver or co-occupant of the vehicle is located.

Thus, the vehicle heating system does not require heat generated by the engine of the internal combustion engine, and can be easily applied to a vehicle without an internal combustion engine, for example, a vehicle such as an electric vehicle.

The electrolytic water in the heat accommodating portion can be re-flowed into the main body, and the heating of the electrolytic water and the transfer process to the heat accommodating portion are repeated. This can improve the efficiency of the heating process for the vehicle.

In addition, the control unit can easily control the current of the electrode unit, thereby precisely controlling the stable heating process of the electrolyzed water and easily adjusting the temperature of the vehicle interior space.
