Cooling system and vehicle that includes cooling system

A cooling system includes: a compressor; a first condenser; a cooling portion; a heat exchanger; a first line; a second line; a switching device; and an ejector. The first line forms a vapor compression refrigeration cycle by flowing refrigerant in order of the heat exchanger, the compressor, the first condenser and the cooling portion. The second line forms a heat pipe by circulating refrigerant between the first condenser and the cooling portion. The switching device flows refrigerant through the first line when air conditioning is performed, and flows refrigerant through the second line when air conditioning is stopped. The ejector is configured to, when refrigerant flows from the compressor to the first condenser via the ejector, draw refrigerant from the second line and join the drawn refrigerant into refrigerant from the compressor.

Ejector

An ejector includes a body having a nozzle passage that depressurizes a refrigerant flowing out of a swirling space in which the refrigerant is swirled, a suction passage that draws a refrigerant from an external, and a diffuser passage that mixes an ejection refrigerant jetted from the nozzle passage and a suction refrigerant drawn from the suction passage together and pressurizes the mixed refrigerant. The body also has a gas-liquid separation space that separates the refrigerant flowing out of the diffuser passage into gas and liquid by an action of a centrifugal force, and multiple liquid-phase refrigerant outflow passages through which the liquid-phase refrigerant separated by the gas-liquid separation space flows out to the multiple evaporators.

Ejector

A body of an ejector includes a diffuser passage, in which an ejection refrigerant jetted from a nozzle passage and a suction refrigerant drawn from a suction passage are mixed together and pressurized by arranging a passage formation member, and a gas-liquid separation space, in which the refrigerant flowing out of the diffuser passage is separated into gas and liquid by the action of a centrifugal force. An inlet part of an oil return passage that is open in the gas-liquid separation space is arranged at a position closer to an outer peripheral side than to an axis center of the passage formation member.

Injection-type heat exchange module and thermal management system for vehicle applying the same

An injection-type heat exchange module includes an outer tank connected to an external condenser or an indoor condenser and a lower chamber connected to an evaporator and a compressor, an inner tank disposed so as to exchange heat with a refrigerant in the outer tank and connected to the compressor, the evaporator, or a lower portion of the outer tank, a first valve disposed at an upper end of the inner tank, a second valve rotatably coupled to a lower end of the inner tank, and an actuator connected to the first valve and the second valve to simultaneously rotate the same. The first and second valves are configured to permit flow of, expand, or block the flow of the refrigerant by rotation thereof.

Injection type heat exchange module and heat management system for vehicle applying the same

An injection type heat exchange module includes an outer tank composed of an upper chamber and a lower chamber separated from each other, an inner tank disposed inside the upper chamber of the outer tank to be heat-exchangeable with the refrigerant and connected to discharge the refrigerant to the compressor, the evaporator, or the lower chamber of the outer tank, a first valve disposed on an upper end of the inner tank; a second valve rotatably coupled to a lower end of the inner tank, and an actuator simultaneously connected to the first valve and the second valve to be operated to simultaneously rotate the first valve and the second valve, and a heat management system for a vehicle applying the same.

Ejector-enhanced heat recovery refrigeration system

A refrigerated transport system comprises: an engine. A vapor compression system comprises: a compressor for compressing a flow of a refrigerant; a first heat exchanger along a refrigerant flowpath of the refrigerant; and a second heat exchanger along the refrigerant flowpath of the refrigerant. A heat recovery system has: a first heat exchanger for transferring heat from the engine to a heat recovery fluid along a heat recovery flowpath; and a second heat exchanger along the heat recovery flowpath. The heat recovery system second heat exchanger and the vapor compression system first heat exchanger are respective portions of a shared tube/fin package.

Air conditioning system for a vehicle
12528337 · 2026-01-20 · ·

An air conditioning system for a vehicle includes a grille shutter on a front part of a vehicle and arranged in a front face of an engine compartment where a driving source is installed, the grille shutter being capable of adjusting a volume of outside air to be introduced into the engine compartment. A heat source is in the engine compartment. Circulation piping includes a temperature increase section which goes through the heat source. The circulation piping diverges into a vehicle cabin front section and a vehicle cabin rear section from the temperature increase section. A rear air-conditioning controller can limit the volume of air to a rear side of a vehicle cabin when a first condition is satisfied. The first condition is a condition where a grille shutter is stuck in an open state and a defroster function of the vehicle is in an ON state.
