An electric drivetrain for installation in a vehicle chassis. A generator coupled to an engine generates electric power for charging an array of batteries. The vehicle, including components and subsystems, may be powered electrically from the batteries, allowing the engine and generator to be easily replaced or customized for an industry, geographic region, fuel type, or a set of emission requirements. A thermal management system may determine a battery temperature for the set of batteries and cause one or more of a coolant system, a refrigerant system, an exhaust gas system or an ambient air heat exchanger to add heat to the set of batteries or transfer heat away from the set of batteries.

There is provided a vehicle air conditioning apparatus that can prevent the amount of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor from reducing when an outside air temperature is low to achieve a heating performance required for a heating operation, and also can dehumidify the vehicle interior without deteriorating the heating performance during a heating and dehumidifying operation. The vehicle air conditioning apparatus includes: a heat released refrigerant expansion valve that decompresses the refrigerant discharged from the radiator during the heating operation and the first heating and dehumidifying operation; a gas-liquid separator that separates the refrigerant decompressed by the heat released refrigerant expansion valve into a gaseous refrigerant and a liquid refrigerant; and a bypass circuit that allows part of at least the gaseous refrigerant separated in the gas-liquid separator to flow into a section of the compressor through which the refrigerant being decompressed passes.

The present invention relates to an energy recovery system (51), which withdraws heat from a feed medium (52) containing heat energy, and—which has a heat transfer system (53) for this purpose, in order to transfer heat energy from the feed medium to a useful medium (54). According to the invention—the heat transfer system (53) has a separation system (57) which spaces apart the two media (52, 54); the heat transfer system (53) has at least one first exchanger zone (35), which allows the transfer of heat from the feed medium (52) to the useful medium (54) as long as the temperature of the feed medium is higher than that of the useful medium (54, 54′); and—the heat transfer system (53) has at least one second exchanger zone (56), which allows the transfer of heat from the feed medium (54, 54′), even when the temperature of the feed medium is lower than that of the useful medium.
