==VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18180201 titled 'VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a vehicle thermal management system that includes an HVAC subsystem connected to the passenger compartment and a powertrain cooling subsystem connected to a powertrain component.

* The HVAC subsystem consists of a compressor, interior condenser, heating-side expansion valve, exterior heat exchanger, distribution conduit, water-cooled heat exchanger, control valves, cooling-side expansion valve, and evaporator.
* The water-cooled heat exchanger transfers heat between the HVAC system and the powertrain cooling subsystem.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, buses, and other transportation vehicles.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Efficiently managing the thermal conditions within the vehicle.
2. Ensuring optimal performance of both the HVAC system and the powertrain cooling subsystem.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved comfort for passengers.
2. Enhanced performance and longevity of the powertrain components.
3. Energy efficiency in thermal management.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Vehicle Thermal Management System for Enhanced Comfort and Performance"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to vehicle thermal management systems that have similar components and functions. However, specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the system handle extreme temperature conditions? ===
The patent application does not specify how the system manages extreme temperature conditions, such as very high or very low temperatures.

=== What is the expected maintenance schedule for this system? ===
The patent application does not mention the maintenance requirements or schedule for the vehicle thermal management system.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Provided is a vehicle thermal management system, including: an HVAC subsystem thermally connected to a passenger compartment; and a powertrain cooling subsystem thermally connected to a powertrain component. The HVAC subsystem includes a compressor, an interior condenser disposed on the downstream side of the compressor, a heating-side expansion valve disposed on the downstream side of the interior condenser, an exterior heat exchanger disposed on the downstream side of the heating-side expansion valve, a first distribution conduit extending from a downstream point of the heating-side expansion valve to an upstream point of the compressor, a water-cooled heat exchanger disposed on the first distribution conduit, a first control valve disposed on the upstream side of the exterior heat exchanger, a second control valve disposed on the first distribution conduit, a third control valve disposed on the downstream side of the exterior heat exchanger, a cooling-side expansion valve disposed on the downstream side of the third control valve, and an evaporator disposed on the downstream side of the cooling-side expansion valve. The water-cooled heat exchanger transfers heat between the first distribution conduit and the powertrain cooling subsystem.
