Abstract
A thermal management system for a vehicle may adjust the temperature of a battery module by using one chiller where the refrigerant and the coolant heat-exchange with each other and a battery heater for selectively heating the coolant, perform heating of the vehicle interior by using the coolant heated by the battery heater, simplify a layout of the system, and reduce manufacturing costs by forming a plurality of coolant flowing lines by two valves according to a selected mode of the vehicle.
Claims17
A thermal management system for a vehicle, the thermal management system comprising:
- a first valve module configured to control flow of a coolant that is interiorly introduced according to at least one mode for a temperature adjustment of a vehicle interior, a temperature adjustment of an electrical component, and a temperature adjustment of a battery module;
- and
- a second valve module selectively connected to the first valve module through at least one line, and configured to control flow of the interiorly introduced coolant according to the at least one mode,
- wherein the at least one line selectively connects a radiator, the electrical component, the battery module, a chiller, a battery heater, and a cabin heater to the first valve module or the second valve module.
