Abstract
A fluid management system for a cooling module of a vehicle air conditioning system. The cooling module includes a first heat exchanger in fluid communication with a liquid cooling system of the vehicle and a second heat exchanger disposed upstream of the first heat exchanger and in fluid communication with the vehicle air conditioning system, wherein the fluid management system minimizes an inlet fluid temperature of the second heat exchanger of the cooling module.
Claims13
A vehicle, comprising:
- a cooling module configured to receive a flow of a cooling fluid therein and discharge a flow of a heated cooling fluid therefrom;
- and
- a fluid management system configured to cause at least a portion of a flow of a third fluid to redirect at least a portion of a flow of a heated fluid, wherein the fluid management system includes a device configured to cause the flow of the third fluid through at least one fluid flow path formed by a nozzle and a duct fluidly connecting the nozzle and the device.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a cooling module including:
- a first heat exchanger configured to receive a first fluid therein,
- a second heat exchanger disposed adjacent the first heat exchanger and configured to receive a second fluid therein, wherein at least one of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger is configured to receive a flow of a cooling fluid therein and discharge a flow of a heated cooling fluid therefrom;
- and
- a shroud disposed adjacent the first heat exchanger and configured to control the flow of the cooling fluid through at least one of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger;
- and
- a fluid management system configured to cause at least a portion of a flow of a third fluid to redirect at least a portion of a flow of a heated fluid, wherein the fluid management system includes a device configured to cause the flow of the third fluid through at least one fluid flow path formed by a nozzle and a duct fluidly connecting the nozzle and the device.
