  • Publication number: 20240271713
    Abstract: A heat interference prevention valve that selectively circulates cooling media through a plurality of heat management parts using one valve. The valve includes flow paths isolated by a heat interference prevention part inside the valve, thereby minimizing heat interference between cooling media circulating through the respective flow paths, enabling efficient management of the temperature of the cooling medium, and managing and maintaining the heat management parts through which the cooling medium circulates at required temperatures.

  • Publication number: 20230302873
    Abstract: A valve apparatus and an integrated thermal management system using the same are proposed. In the valve apparatus and the integrated thermal management system, a plurality of coolant circuits is integrated with one valve to be compactified, so that it is advantageous in terms of manufacturing and utilization of space is improved while being compactified. Furthermore, as heat exchange between a coolant circulated in each coolant line and a refrigerant circulated in each refrigerant line is performed in response to various thermal management modes, the efficiency of the thermal management including cooling of an electric part and a battery, and indoor heating using waste heat of the electric part and the battery is improved, thereby securing a traveling distance of an electrified mobility.
