  • Publication number: 20230173890
    Abstract: A heat pump system for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The heat pump system includes a refrigerant circuit that is flowable through by a refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit has a first partial circuit with a low pressure accumulator, a compressor, a heat pump heater, and an exterior heat exchanger. The refrigerant circuit has a second partial circuit with an evaporator and a chiller. The refrigerant circuit has a valve arrangement. The first partial circuit and the second partial circuit are fluidically connected with one another exclusively via the valve arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20230102168
    Abstract: A thermal management module for a thermal management system is disclosed. The thermal management module includes a first heat exchanger for flowing through by a refrigerant and by a working medium fluidically separately with respect to the refrigerant. A second heat exchanger is provided including at least a first fluid path and at least a second fluid path, separate from the first fluid path, respectively for flowing through by the refrigerant. A connecting arrangement is arranged between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. The connecting arrangement connects the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger to one another mechanically and fluidically, so that the refrigerant can flow between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20210364204
    Abstract: An intermediate refrigerant store of a refrigerant system may include a storage container delimiting a refrigerant storage space, a first feed, and a second feed separate from the first feed. The first feed and the second feed may be fluidically connected with the refrigerant storage space for feeding of a refrigerant. At least one discharge may be fluidically connected to the refrigerant storage space and may be configured to discharge the refrigerant from the refrigerant storage space. At least one valve arrangement may be disposed in an associated feed of the first feed and the second feed via which the associated feed may be fluidically closable and openable.

  • Patent number: 10883776
    Abstract: A liner tube for an inlet channel of a plate heat exchanger may include an open front side for supplying a refrigerant mass flow, an at least partially closed rear side, and at least two bag-like chambers running in a longitudinal direction of the liner tube. Each chamber may communicate with the open front side, and may have openings at chamber-dependent different positions for distributing the refrigerant mass flow in plate stacks of the plate heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20200378685
    Abstract: An immersion tube for the refrigerant distribution in a chiller may include a tubular shell that at least partially defines an interior space. The tube may also include at least two radial walls arranged within the interior space and that subdivide the interior space into at least two chambers that are separated from one another in a circumferential direction. The at least two radial walls may be structured as a single piece with the tubular shell. The at least two radial walls and the tubular shell may be formed as a one-piece extruded profile and may be twisted such that the at least two radial walls form a helix.
