Thermal management, heat transfer improvement of radiator and condenser using ac system evaporator's condensation

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to using condensation from an evaporator of a cooling system of the vehicle to facilitate thermal management of systems or components of the vehicle. According to one embodiment, a vehicle can comprise a cooling system evaporator and a condensation water collection system disposed in proximity to the cooling system evaporator. The condensation water collection system can be adapted to collect and accumulate condensed water from the cooling system evaporator. The vehicle can further comprise a heat exchange and one or more spray nozzles disposed proximate to the heat exchanger. The spray nozzles can be adapted to dispense a mist of water obtained from the water accumulated by the condensation water collection system onto the heat exchanger.
