Abstract: A vehicle temperature control apparatus for controlling temperature of a temperature control object, which is at least one of inside air of a vehicle compartment and a vehicle component, includes a heat capacitive element capable of storing heat, a refrigeration cycle in which heat is absorbed from a low temperature side and is dissipated to a high temperature side, a heat exchanger that causes the heat capacitive element to exchange heat with refrigerant of the refrigeration cycle, and a heat dissipation portion which dissipates heat in the refrigerant of the refrigeration cycle to the temperature control object. Thus, a temperature control by using the heat capacitive element can be effectively performed.

Abstract: A battery temperature regulating device is applied to a battery pack configured by parallely connecting battery groups, each of which is a series connection of battery cells capable of charge and discharge. The device regulates temperatures of the battery groups. The battery temperature regulating device includes a heat transfer unit that transfers heat of a part of the battery groups to another battery group.

Abstract: A vehicular thermo-control device adjusts a temperature of a battery. The device has a primary system through which cooling water circulates, and a secondary system through which a refrigerant circulates. The primary system has a heat exchanger which performs heat exchange between the battery and the cooling water, and a heat exchanger which performs heat exchange between the cooling water and an ambient air. The secondary system is a refrigerating cycle. Both heat exchangers on a high temperature side and a low temperature side of the refrigerating cycle are thermally coupled with the primary system. Only one heat exchanger provides heat exchange with the ambient air. The pump of the primary system can switch circulating direction of the cooling water. A controller controls devices to perform cooling and heating operation.

Abstract: A battery temperature regulating device includes batteries, inter-battery passages, and a fluid driving device. The batteries are connected to be capable of energization and arranged in a stacking manner. Each of the inter-battery passages is defined between corresponding adjacent two of the batteries. The fluid driving device is configured to flow temperature regulating fluid for regulating temperature of the batteries through the inter-battery passages. Each of the inter-battery passages includes a first inter-battery passage and a second inter-battery passage. Between the corresponding adjacent two of the batteries, a direction in which temperature regulating fluid flows into the first inter-battery passage and a direction in which temperature regulating fluid flows into the second inter-battery passage are different from each other.
