Integrated Thermal Management System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240191901 titled 'Integrated Thermal Management System

The embodiment integrated thermal management system described in the patent application consists of a refrigerant circuit with a compressor, condenser, expander, and evaporator. It also includes a first coolant line with a heat exchanger to exchange heat with the evaporator, an internal heat exchanger to adjust the temperature of air-conditioning air, first and second switching valves at the ends of the internal heat exchanger, a second coolant line with a heat exchanger to exchange heat with the condenser, a third coolant line branching off to a battery, and a fourth coolant line branching off to a PE component.

  • The system integrates a refrigerant circuit with a coolant system to efficiently manage thermal loads.
  • The internal heat exchanger helps regulate the temperature of air-conditioning air.
  • The switching valves control the flow of coolant to different components for optimal heat exchange.
  • The inclusion of a battery and a PE component in separate coolant lines demonstrates versatility in cooling different parts of the system.
