A heat pump system for a vehicle may include a compressor, a first condenser, a receiver dryer, a second condenser, a first expansion valve, an evaporator, a first refrigerant connection line, a chiller, a second expansion valve, and a gas injection device. The flow of the refrigerant is controlled based on at least one mode for a temperature adjustment of a vehicle interior or for a temperature adjustment of a battery module. As a result, the heat pump system is capable of cooling or heating a vehicle interior by using a high-temperature coolant and a low-temperature coolant. Additionally, the heat pump system is capable of improving a heating performance by employing a gas injection device selectively operating at the time of cooling or heating a vehicle interior to increase the flow amount of the refrigerant.

Heat pump system for a vehicle

A refrigerant circulating apparatus of a vehicle includes a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant, at least one heat-exchanger configured to exchange with the refrigerant, at least one valve configured to selectively provide the refrigerant to the at least one heat-exchanger, a bracket that supports the compressor, and a fluid line plate that is coupled to the bracket and disposed adjacent to the at least one heat-exchanger and the at least one valve. The fluid line plate includes a plurality of fluid lines defined inside the fluid line plate and configured to provide the refrigerant to the at least one heat-exchanger based on operation of the at least one valve.

Refrigerant circulating apparatus of vehicle

A thermal energy module includes a housing having an open first surface and is filled with a refrigerant. Partition walls partition an interior of the housing into a compressing part, a condensing part, and an evaporating part. A compressor is provided in the compressing part. A first heat-exchanger is provided in the condensing part and configured to condense a compressed refrigerant supplied from the compressor by heat-exchange with a coolant. An expansion valve is configured to expand a refrigerant supplied from the condensing part to be supplied to the evaporating part. A second heat-exchanger is provided in the evaporating part and configured to heat-exchange a refrigerant supplied from the expansion valve with the coolant drawn into the interior of the housing to evaporate. A cover mounted on the open first surface of the housing closes and seals the interior of the housing.

Thermal energy module for a vehicle

An embodiment thermal management system of a vehicle includes an air supply device that draws and supplies ambient air. An air cycle apparatus connected to the air supply device that compresses or expands the air to be changed to a high or low temperature air. An air distribution device is connected to the air cycle apparatus and a cabin room connected to the air distribution device that receives the high or low temperature air. A first heat-exchanger connected to the air cycle apparatus performs heat-exchange on the high temperature air and a second heat-exchanger connected to the first heat-exchanger and the air cycle apparatus performs heat-exchange on the air. The second heat-exchanger and the air distribution device are selectively connected and the air having heat-exchanged while passing through the second heat-exchanger is selectively supplied to the air distribution device.
