A thermal management system includes a refrigerant flow path, a coolant liquid flow path, a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger. The refrigerant flow path includes a compressor, a first indoor heat exchanger, a first flow regulation device, and a second flow regulation device. The coolant liquid flow path includes a first heat exchange assembly and a heater. The first heat exchanger includes a first heat exchange portion and a second heat exchange portion. The second heat exchanger includes a third heat exchange portion and a fourth heat exchange portion. The thermal management system has a first heating mode and a second heating mode. The thermal management system provides thermal energy required for heating by at least one of the following selectable processes: heating of the heater, and generating excess heat during operation of the first heat exchange assembly.

A cooling system mounted in a vehicle includes a radiator exchanging heat with the outside air; first and second flow paths; and a control device. The first path is configured so that when the first pump is operating, a heat medium circulates through the radiator and a first heat exchanger exchanging heat with the inverter. The second flow path is connected to the radiator in parallel with the first flow path, and is configured so that when the second pump is operating, the heat medium circulates through the radiator and a second heat exchanger exchanging heat with the battery. The control device controls the outputs of the first and second pumps so that when making both of the outputs rise or fall, the flow rate of the heat medium flowing through the first flow path becomes temporarily larger than the target flow rate.

A heat pump system of a vehicle controls a temperature of a battery module by using one chiller in which a refrigerant and a coolant are heat-exchanged, and recovers waste heat generated from an electrical component and a battery module to use it for indoor heating, thereby improving heating performance and efficiency, and the heat pump increases a flow rate of a refrigerant by applying a gas injection part that selectively operates in a heating mode of the vehicle, thereby maximizing heating performance.

An air conditioning device for an electric vehicle includes: a housing having an air conditioning passage connecting an air inlet port to an air discharge port; an evaporator, an air heater, and an electric heater, which are positioned in series in the air conditioning passage in the housing; and a bypass door positioned after the evaporator in the air conditioning passage in the housing and configured to selectively allow some of air passing through the evaporator to bypass the air heater and the electric heater to the air discharge port.

A heat pump system for a vehicle may control a temperature of a battery module by using one chiller in which a refrigerant and a coolant are heat-exchanged, and may increase a flow rate of the refrigerant by applying a gas injection device that selectively operates in a heating or dehumidifying mode of a vehicle, thereby maximizing heating performance.

A heat pump system for a vehicle may adjust a temperature of a battery module by use of one chiller that performs heat exchange between a refrigerant and a coolant and improves heating efficiency by use of waste heat generated from an electrical component, including: a cooling apparatus of circulating a coolant in a coolant line to cool at least one electrical component provided in the coolant line; a battery cooling apparatus of circulating the coolant to the battery module; a chiller for heat exchanging the coolant with a refrigerant to control a temperature of the coolant; a heating apparatus that heats an interior of the vehicle using the coolant; and a first, second, third, and fourth connection line.

A vehicular air conditioner includes a refrigeration cycle system, a high-temperature heat medium circuit, and a low-temperature heat medium circuit. The high-temperature heat medium circuit includes an air-heat medium heat exchanger, a heater core, a branching portion, a common passage, a flow rate adjuster, and an auxiliary heat source. The air-heat medium heat exchanger exchanges heat between the heat medium and an outside air. The heater core is arranged parallel to the air-heat medium heat exchanger and causes the heat medium to transfer heat to a ventilation air. The branching portion divides a flow of the heat medium into a flow toward the air-heat medium heat exchanger and a flow toward the heater core. The auxiliary heat source is arranged in the common passage at a position upstream of the branching portion.

An apparatus and methods are provided for an air conditioning system for an off-road vehicle that includes an enclosed cabin. The air conditioning system includes a compressor that may be driven by an engine of the vehicle or a dedicated motor. A condenser comprising the air conditioning system may be positioned behind a grill at a front of the off-road vehicle or at a location where outside air enters an engine compartment of the off-road vehicle. An evaporator and a blower direct a cooled airstream into the enclosed cabin. One or more adjustable vents are disposed within the enclosed cabin and positioned to advantageously direct the cooled airstream to occupants within the enclosed cabin. Climate control switches are disposed in a dashboard of the off-road vehicle and configured to enable the occupants to operate the air conditioning system.
