A cooling system is disclosed having a cooling circuit with a deaeration device arranged in the cooling circuit for separation of air bubbles from coolant circulating in the coolant circuit. The deaeration device includes a deaeration chamber having a coolant inlet connected to a feed pipe of the cooling circuit, a first coolant outlet connected to a coolant pump of the cooling circuit, and a second coolant outlet connected to an expansion tank via a static line. The deaeration chamber has a larger cross-sectional dimension than the feed pipe. The second coolant outlet is located in a position in relation to the coolant inlet and the first coolant outlet such that the coolant flow in the deaeration chamber between the coolant inlet and the first coolant outlet will move migrating air bubbles in the longitudinal direction of the deaeration chamber towards the second coolant outlet.

Cooling system and vehicle comprising such a cooling system

A vehicle thermal management system is disclosed comprising a first and a second coolant circuit each comprising a coolant pump. The first coolant circuit comprises a coolant duct configured to conduct coolant flow through a portion of the first coolant circuit, and an expansion tank connected to the coolant duct. The system further comprises a first connecting conduit connecting the second coolant circuit to the coolant duct, and valve controllable between a first state in which the valve hinders flow of fluid through the first connecting conduit, and a second state in which the valve allows flow of fluid through the first connecting conduit. The present disclosure further relates to a vehicle comprising a vehicle thermal management system.

Thermal management system, and vehicle

A thermal management system for a vehicle is disclosed, wherein the vehicle comprises an occupant compartment and a propulsion system configured to provide motive power to the vehicle. The system comprises a propulsion coolant circuit configured to cool at least a portion of the propulsion system, a heating circuit configured to heat the occupant compartment, and a heat pump circuit comprising a first evaporator in the propulsion coolant circuit and a condenser in the heating circuit. The propulsion coolant circuit comprises a connecting conduit connecting the propulsion coolant circuit to the heating circuit at a position upstream of the condenser, and a first valve configured to control flow of coolant through the connecting conduit. The present disclosure further relates to a powertrain for a vehicle, as well as a vehicle.

Thermal management system, powertrain, and vehicle

A temperature control system for a vehicle, comprising a main circuit comprising a tubing in which there is provided a coolant, a main circuit pump configured to pump said coolant through the tubing in a first direction. Connected in parallel to the main circuit are first and second sub-circuits for cooling or heating of components connected thereto. In the sub-circuits there are provided first and second pumps that pump coolant through said sub-circuits from a first end to second end at which the respective sub-circuit is connected the main circuit. The first end is upstream the second end as seen in the first direction in the first circuit, and the first end of the first sub-circuit and the first end of the at least one second sub-circuit are joined to a common tubing section which in its turn is connected to the tubing of the main circuit.

Temperature control system, a vehicle provided therewith and a method for controlling the operation thereof

A thermal management system is disclosed configured to regulate the temperature of a number of vehicle components. The system comprises one expansion tank and two or more coolant circuits each configured to regulate the temperature of a vehicle component of the number of vehicle components. Each coolant circuit of the two or more coolant circuits comprises a heat exchanger configured to regulate the temperature of coolant in the coolant circuit, a coolant pump comprising a pump inlet, and a static line fluidly connecting the pump inlet to the expansion tank. The present disclosure further relates to a vehicle comprising a thermal management system.

Multiple circuit thermal management system comprising mixing lines, and vehicle

Disclosed is a cooling system comprising: a first cooling circuit with a first coolant pump; a second cooling circuit with a second coolant pump; an expansion tank provided with an expansion chamber for accumulation of coolant, wherein the expansion chamber is connected to the second cooling circuit to allow the expansion chamber to receive coolant from the second cooling circuit; and a deaeration device arranged in the first cooling circuit for separation of air bubbles from the coolant circulating therein. The deaeration device is located at a lower position than the expansion tank and connected to said expansion chamber via a static line to allow air bubbles separated from the coolant in the deaeration device to migrate upwards in the static line towards the expansion chamber.
