Abstract
A thermal management fluid module for a vehicle is provided using a circulating fluid such as a refrigerant or a coolant, the thermal management fluid module including a manifold plate in which a plurality of fluid flow channels are formed, and a thermal interference avoidance unit which is coupled to the manifold plate and in which fluid flow channels having a relatively high temperature or low temperature are formed to be separated and spaced apart from other fluid flow channels among the fluid flow channels.
Claims3
A thermal management fluid module for a vehicle using a circulating fluid such as a refrigerant or a coolant, the thermal management fluid module comprising:
- a manifold plate in which a plurality of fluid flow channels is formed;
- and
- a thermal interference avoidance unit which is coupled to the manifold plate and in which fluid flow channels having a first temperature or a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature are formed to be separated and spaced apart from other fluid flow channels among the plurality of fluid flow channels,
- wherein the thermal interference avoidance unit is a branch pipe which is coupled to a surface of the manifold plate and in which at least one of the plurality of fluid flow channels is formed therein,
- wherein the branch pipe includes a first pipe configured to allow a first circulating fluid to flow out of an evaporator to an accumulator, and a second pipe configured to allow a second circulating fluid to flow out of an external heat exchanger to flow to the evaporator, wherein the second circulating fluid has a temperature that is higher than the first circulating fluid,
- wherein a first branch port and a second branch port for connection of the first pipe and the second pipe are coupled to a second the surface of the manifold plate, and
- wherein the second pipe includes a first connection portion configured to connect the external heat exchanger and the second branch port, a second connection portion configured to connect the second branch port and one side of the first pipe, and a third connection portion configured to connect the one side of the first pipe and the evaporator.
