A vehicle comprising a compressor and a manifold physically and fluidly coupled to the compressor.

A utility vehicle is described having front and rear passenger area, and an HVAC system provides treated air to both front and rear areas. The front area includes a tunnel extending longitudinally rearwardly, and a low profile duct extends within the tunnel to communicate treated air to the rear passenger area. The frame has been modified to mount a drive shaft carrier bearing to maximize the arear under the tunnel for hose routing. The frame has been modified to maximize the ingress area for the foot of the rear passenger. The frame has been modified to better seal the vehicle when doors are utilized.

A vehicle refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser in fluid communication with the compressor, a chiller, a vapor injection module, and a refrigerant control block. The refrigerant control block includes a plurality of outer walls which provide a plurality of openings in fluid communication with a plurality of internal fluid paths. The plurality of openings include a VPI block outlet and a chiller block outlet. A first EXV opening receives a first EXV for modulating refrigerant flow out of the VPI block outlet through the vapor injection module to the compressor. A second EXV opening receives a second EXV for modulating refrigerant flow out of the chiller block outlet to the chiller.

A vehicle comprising a compressor and a manifold physically and fluidly coupled to the compressor.

The present invention relates to a thermal management system and, more specifically, to a refrigerant system comprising: a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion valve, a second heat exchanger, and an accumulator which are connected in sequence to form a closed loop; and a connection block which connects a heat exchange medium outlet of the expansion valve to a heat exchange medium inlet of the second heat exchanger, and connects a heat exchange medium outlet of the second heat exchanger to a heat exchange medium inlet of the accumulator. Accordingly, the distances between components constituting the refrigerant system for vehicle interior cooling and electric/electronic component cooling are reduced, and thus the refrigerant pressure loss in blocks or pipes connecting the components can be reduced, the system performance can be improved, and the assemblability of the components constituting the refrigerant system can be improved.
