==Vehicle HVAC System - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18329808 titled 'Vehicle HVAC System

The embodiment of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a vehicle includes various components such as a compressor, interior condenser, water-cooled heat exchanger, refrigerant heat exchanger, and a first control valve.

* The compressor is a key component that compresses the refrigerant in the system.
* The interior condenser is located downstream of the compressor and helps cool the air inside the vehicle.
* The water-cooled heat exchanger transfers heat between the refrigerant and a coolant circulating in a separate coolant system.
* The refrigerant heat exchanger transfers heat between the refrigerant discharged from the water-cooled heat exchanger and the refrigerant discharged from the interior condenser.
* The first control valve regulates the flow of refrigerant between the interior condenser, water-cooled heat exchanger, and refrigerant heat exchanger.
