Abstract: A refrigeration cycle device includes: a first expansion valve that decompresses a refrigerant flowing out of a high-pressure side heat exchanger; an exterior heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant flowing out of the first expansion valve and outside air; a second expansion valve that decompresses the refrigerant flowing out of the exterior heat exchanger; a low-pressure side heat exchanger arranged in series with the exterior heat exchanger; a cooler core that exchanges heat between the heat medium cooled by the low-pressure side heat exchanger and air to be blown into a vehicle interior to cool the air; and a controller configured to switch between a heat absorption mode and a heat dissipation mode by adjusting an amount of decompression in each of the first expansion valve and the second expansion valve.

Abstract: A vehicular heat management system includes a heat medium circuit, a heat source portion, and a device. A heat medium cooling an engine circulates in the heat medium circuit. The heat source portion heats the heat medium. The device is configured to function and heat the heat medium when the heat medium flowing into the device is at or above a predetermined temperature. When the engine is being warmed up, heat generated by the heat source portion is supplied to the device in preference to the engine. According to this, since the heat generated by the heat source portion is supplied to the device in preference to the engine when the engine is being warmed up, the engine can be warmed up early.

Abstract: A battery warming-up system includes a controller that controls an air-conditioning blower and a battery blower. A battery warming-up mode is executed to control at least one of the air-conditioning blower and the battery blower such that an air-side temperature efficiency in an air-conditioning heat exchanger is higher than an air-side temperature efficiency in a battery heat exchanger.

Abstract: A vehicular heat management device includes a first heat source, a second heat source, a heater core, a first heat medium pathway, a second heat medium pathway, a heater core pathway, a switching portion, and a control unit. The first heat source is provided in the first heat medium pathway, and the second heat source is provided in the second heat medium pathway. The heater core is provided in the heater core pathway. The switching portion switches between flowing connection and flowing disconnection. The control unit performs at least one of a switching control and a second heat source control when a temperature of the heat medium of the heater core pathway is at or above a predetermined temperature. In the switching control, the switching portion connects the second heat medium pathway to the heater core pathway. In the second heat source control, the second heat source generates heat.

Abstract: A vehicular heat management device includes a first heat source, a second heat source, a first heat generator, a second heat generator, a heat generator pathway, a first heat source pathway, a second heat source pathway, and a switching portion. The first heat source and the second heat source heat a heat medium. The first heat generator generates heat according to operation. The second heat generator generates heat according to operation. The first heat generator and the second heat generator are provided in the heat generator pathway. The first heat generator is provided in the first heat generator pathway. The second heat generator is provided in the second heat generator pathway. The switching portion switches between a condition where the heat generator pathway is in flowing communication with the first heat generator pathway and a condition where the heat generator pathway is in flowing communication with the second heat generator pathway.

Abstract: In a heat pump system, when a heat-shock determination portion determines that a difference between a coolant temperature in a coolant flow path and a coolant temperature in a heat source flow path is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, a flow-path switching portion mixes the respective coolants flowing through at least a bypass flow path and the heat source flow path together to flow into the coolant flow path.
