VEHICLE THERMAL SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

A thermal energy management system for a vehicle is provided that is configured to supply thermal energy to a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The thermal energy management system may include three thermal fluid loops. The first thermal fluid loop may include a coolant pump circulating a coolant through at least a vehicle battery, a transmission oil cooler of the vehicle, and a chiller such that the coolant is configured to selectively transfer thermal energy from the vehicle battery, the transmission oil cooler, and the chiller. The second thermal fluid loop may circulate oil through the transmission oil cooler. The third thermal fluid loop may circulate a refrigerant through at least the chiller and at least one condenser such that the third thermal fluid loop is configured to transfer thermal energy to the passenger compartment.
