Abstract: A cooling system includes a compressor that circulates refrigerant; a condenser that condenses the refrigerant; an expansion valve that reduces a pressure of the refrigerant that has been condensed by the condenser; an evaporator that vaporizes the refrigerant that has been reduced in pressure by the expansion valve; a refrigerant passage through which the refrigerant flows from an outlet of the condenser toward an inlet of the expansion valve, and that includes a passage forming portion that forms part of the refrigerant passage; a second passage that is connected in parallel with the passage forming portion; a cooling portion that is provided in the second passage and cools a heat source using the refrigerant; and an expansion valve that is arranged upstream of the cooling portion in the second passage.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus that cools an HV appliance heat source includes: a compressor for circulating a coolant; a condenser for condensing the coolant; an expansion valve that decompresses the coolant that has been condensed by the condenser; an evaporator for evaporating the coolant that has been decompressed by the expansion valve; and a coolant passageway through which the coolant that moves from an outlet of the condenser toward an inlet of the expansion valve flows. The coolant passageway includes a passageway-forming portion that forms a portion of the coolant passageway. The cooling apparatus further includes a coolant passageway that is disposed in parallel with the passageway-forming portion, and that circulates the coolant via the HV appliance heat source.
