VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

Embodiments of this application disclose a vehicle thermal management system and method. The system includes a refrigeration cycle system, a coolant cycle system, and a control device, where the coolant cycle system includes a coolant cycle frontend radiator, a power assembly heat dissipation system, a battery pack heat dissipation system, a primary path water pump, a bypass water pump, and a valve bank system. In the system, the refrigeration cycle system is connected to the primary path water pump. Furthermore, in the system, the power assembly heat dissipation system and the battery pack heat dissipation system share the refrigeration cycle system and the coolant cycle frontend radiator by using the primary path water pump, the bypass water pump, and a combination of the valve bank system.
