THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR MANAGING HEATING AND COOLING OF AN ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE BATTERY AND CABIN
DRIVE
April 18, 2024
An exemplary thermal management system includes, among other things, a heater loop, a battery loop, a radiator loop, and a power electronics loop operating within a glycol system. A first valve is in fluid communication with one or more of the heater loop, the battery loop, the radiator loop, and the power electronics loop. A second valve is in fluid communication with one or more of the heater loop, the battery loop, the radiator loop, and the power electronics loop. A refrigerant system cooperates with the glycol system under at least one operational condition to actively chill power electronics in the power electronics loop and a battery in the battery loop while actively heating a cabin area.
