Abstract
A thermal management arrangement for vehicles includes a refrigerant circuit having a chiller function and/or heat pump function and a heat carrier network for cooling and/or heating components of the vehicle. The heat carrier network has a heat carrier reservoir and a plurality of heat carrier supply segments fed from the heat carrier reservoir. A separately controlled and regulated ambient heat exchanger supply segment implements a circuit having a central low-temperature ambient heat exchanger and least one heat carrier reservoir.
Claims11
A thermal management arrangement for a vehicle comprising:
- a refrigerant circuit;
- and
- a heat carrier network controlling a temperature of components of the vehicle, wherein the heat carrier network further comprises:
- a heat carrier reservoir;
- and
- a plurality of heat carrier supply segments fed from the heat carrier reservoir, wherein a separately controlled and regulated ambient heat carrier supply segment provides a circuit having a central low-temperature ambient heat exchanger and the heat carrier reservoir, and wherein a heat carrier fluid is supplied with heat from a surrounding area by means of the ambient heat carrier supply segment, or heat from the heat carrier fluid is emitted to the surrounding area from the heat carrier reservoir by means of the low-temperature ambient heat exchanger.
