  • Patent number: 11987095
    Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated thermal management system for a vehicle including a refrigerant flow line extending to allow a refrigerant discharged from a compressor to flow in the order of an indoor condenser, an external condenser, and an evaporator and to flow back to the compressor, a refrigerant chiller line branching from the refrigerant flow line at each of the points downstream of the compressor, the indoor condenser, or the external condenser, the refrigerant chiller line joining the refrigerant flow line at a point upstream of the compressor after the refrigerant passes through a battery chiller and an electric chiller or bypasses the same, a battery cooling line extending to allow a coolant to circulate while passing through a battery radiator or the battery chiller, and an electric cooling line extending to allow a coolant to circulate while passing through an electric radiator or the electric chiller.
