Abstract: A module of a thermal management system includes a bracket having an internal heat exchanger, an evaporator, and an accumulator attached thereto. The internal heat exchanger includes a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side. The module includes a first flow of a refrigerant flowing through a first flow path of the module passing through the high-pressure side of the internal heat exchanger, a second flow of the refrigerant flowing through a second flow path of the module passing through, in an order of the second flow, the evaporator, the accumulator, and the low-pressure side of the internal heat exchanger, and a flow of a coolant flowing through a third flow path of the module passing through the evaporator.

Abstract: An accumulator and heat exchanger assembly includes a heat exchanger having first flow passages and second flow passages formed therein, the first flow passages configured to convey a first flow of a fluid therethrough and the second flow passages configured to convey a second fluid flow therethrough with the first flow and the second fluid flow fluidly separated from one another within the heat exchanger. An accumulator includes a can and a cap removably coupled to the can. An interior of the can is configured to convey the second fluid flow therethrough to separate a liquid portion thereof from a vapor portion thereof and/or to remove moisture therefrom. The heat exchanger is coupled to the cap and is removable from the can therewith such that removal of the cap and the heat exchanger from the can provides access to the interior of the can.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprising a plurality of first plates and a plurality of second plates disposed between two end plates. The first plates and the second plates are alternatingly arranged in a stacked relationship. When in the stacked relationship, the arrangement of the first and second plates defines a first flow path for a first fluid and at least one of a second flow path for a second fluid and a third flow path for a third fluid.
