TLDR
In this article, an efficient thermal management system (100) that utilizes a single heat exchanger (133) is provided, where a refrigeration subsystem (103) cools the heat exchange, and a second coolant loop (151) corresponding to the HVAC subsystem (107) is also in thermal communication with the heat exchinator (133).Abstract:
An efficient thermal management system (100) that utilizes a single heat exchanger (133) is provided. A refrigeration subsystem (103) cools the heat exchanger (133). A first coolant loop (139) in thermal communication with the heat exchanger (133) is used to cool the energy storage system (137). A second coolant loop (151) corresponding to the HVAC subsystem (107) is also in thermal communication with the heat exchanger (133). Preferably a third coolant loop (109) corresponding to the drive motor cooling subsystem (101) is coupleable to the HVAC coolant loop (151), thus providing an efficient means of providing heat to the HVAC subsystem (107).read more

Heat pump system for vehicle
TL;DR: In this article, a heat pump system for a vehicle includes a water cooled condenser that uses a coolant as a heat exchange media and uses waste heat generated from a motor and an electronic device to improve heating performance, efficiency, and dehumidifying performance.
Patent
Thermal management system for vehicle
TL;DR: In this article, a controller of a thermal management system for a vehicle controls a first switching valve and a second switching valve to set a battery warming-up state in which a heat medium circulates between a battery-temperature adjustment heat exchanger and a heat-medium heating heat exchangers, and the heat medium does not circulate between a coolant-coolant heat exchange and a medium heating heat exchange when both a battery and an engine need to be warmed up.

Hybrid electric vehicle regenerative braking energy recovery system
TL;DR: A series hybrid engine has an electric traction motor drive of the vehicle wheels and a regenerative braking system that converts the motor to a generator for the output of useful electrical energy, the latter being used either to charge the storage battery for a power source for the traction motor, or if the battery is charged, diverting the regenerative energy to a resistive heater located in the cooling circuit of an independently operated accessory driving ICE.
