  • Publication number: 20220332163
    Abstract: A system has a battery and an air conditioner in a thermal exchange relationship with an interior of a vehicle. A thermal regulation circuit has liquid pass through. The circuit includes an operative tract in a thermal exchange relationship with the battery to control battery temperature. An interior heating tract connects in parallel with the operative tract and in a thermal exchange relationship with the air conditioner. A refrigeration circuit is configured to have fluid pass through that is subjected to a non-reversible refrigeration cycle. The refrigeration circuit includes a condenser and an evaporator, which are in a thermal exchange relationship with a heating tract and a cooling tract of the thermal regulation circuit. The conditioner includes heating and cooling modules in a thermal exchange relationship with the thermal regulation circuit at respectively, the interior heating tract, and the refrigeration circuit at a spill duct connected parallel with the evaporator.

  • Publication number: 20220332164
    Abstract: A system includes a battery, and a thermal regulation circuit configured for having liquid pass through and including an operative tract in a thermal exchange relationship with the battery, to control battery temperature. A refrigeration circuit is configured to have pass through that is subjectable to a non-reversible refrigeration cycle. The refrigeration circuit includes a condenser and an evaporator, which are in thermal exchange relation with a heating tract and a cooling tract of the thermal regulation circuit for thermally interacting with the liquid. A radiator is in a thermal exchange relationship with a thermal stabilization tract of the thermal regulation circuit. A valve assembly configured to have a defrosting configuration, in which the valve assembly defines a closed defrosting path for the liquid between the heating tract and the thermal stabilization tract. A heater is activatable to heat the liquid flowing through the closed defrosting path.

  • Publication number: 20220324292
    Abstract: A system includes an electric battery. A thermal regulation circuit has liquid pass through the circuit and includes an operative tract in thermal exchange relation with the battery to control battery temperature. A refrigeration circuit has fluid pass through that is subjected to a non-reversible refrigeration cycle. The refrigeration circuit includes a condenser in thermal exchange relation with the thermal regulation circuit heating tract. An evaporator is in thermal exchange relation with the cooling tract of the thermal regulation circuit. A thermal regulation circuit valve assembly is selectively configured in a heating configuration and in a cooling configuration. The valve assembly defines, in the thermal regulation circuit between the operative tract and the cooling tract, a closed heating path for the liquid in the heating configuration, and a closed cooling path for the liquid in the cooling configuration.

  • Patent number: 9835387
    Abstract: A heat exchanger for heat exchange between air and a heat exchange medium includes a plurality of heat transfer conduits arranged parallel to each other as flow paths for the heat exchange medium and a plurality of fin members. The fin members are configured to provide: an air inlet end for air inflow, an air outlet end for air outflow, and an air flow path. The air flow path connects the air inlet end with the air outlet end and allows a heat exchange with the plurality of heat transfer conduits. Each fin member includes a plurality of undulation troughs coplanar with each other and connected together so as to define a water condensate flow path. Each water condensate flow path has a flat bottom which extends from the air inlet end to the air outlet end.

  • Publication number: 20160361976
    Abstract: A vehicle condenser including an accumulator and a header tank to which the accumulator is connected in parallelism relationship therewith, wherein said accumulator comprises a tubular container with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet which are disposed on the side wall thereof and can be connected to a condensing section (SC) and a sub-cooling section (SSR) of the condenser, respectively. The condenser in use is disposed in a horizontal arrangement in which the fluid inlet comprises an inlet port formed at the side wall of the container of the accumulator, and the fluid outlet comprises an outlet port disposed at or close to the side wall, at the lower part of the container.
