A vehicle climate control system includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system where condensate from the system is conveyed to a misting device disposed at an air-conditioned outlet in the cabin of the vehicle. The misting device can be arranged at the exit of the air-conditioned outlet such that conditioned air is conveyed by the HVAC ducting and mixes with the mist generated by the misting device at the air-conditioned outlet. The mist may be scented using an injection device that pumps a fragrant fluid into the misting device along with the condensate. Prior to conveying the condensate to the misting device, the condensate may be pumped through bacteria and sediment filter media providing a clean supply of condensate to the misting device. Positioning the misting device at the air-conditioned outlet helps prevent mold or debris from being trapped in the HVAC system or ducting.

A thermal management device for use in a vehicular or other thermal management circuit utilizes a pump, one or more valves, and one or more pressure/temperature sensors to route coolant through different desired flow paths and maintain components within the thermal circuit at appropriate temperatures.
