Thermal management system for a vehicle

A thermal management system for a front trunk of a vehicle, the thermal management system comprising:

• a heat exchange unit coupled with an interface in the front trunk;
• a container moveable between a first position and a second position, wherein the container is configured to be in fluid communication with the heat exchange unit via the interface in the first position and wherein the container is disconnected from the interface in the second position, wherein the container includes at least one door covering a port formed on a wall of the container, and wherein the interface is configured to deflect the at least one door to an open position in the first position;
• at least one conduit extending between the heat exchange unit and the interface for supplying air to or withdrawing air from the container in the first position and the front trunk in the second position;
• at least one valve for controlling air flow through the at least one conduit;
• and
• a controller configured to close the at least one valve in response to the second position.

A thermal management system for a vehicle, the thermal management system comprising:

• a front trunk compartment of the vehicle;
• a heat exchange unit connected with the front trunk compartment of the vehicle via an interface;
• a first conduit and a second conduit each extending between the heat exchange unit and the interface, the first conduit configured to supply air in a first direction toward the compartment and the second conduit configured to draw air in a second direction away from the front trunk compartment;
• a container moveable between a first position and a second position, wherein the container engages the interface in the first position and is disengaged from the interface in the second position;
• at least one valve disposed in the interface for providing or limiting fluid communication between at least one of the first conduit and the second conduit and the container in the first position;
• and
• a sensor configured to detect the presence of the container in the first position, wherein the at least one valve is configured to open in response to the sensor detecting the first position.
