A temperature control system for a vehicle includes a refrigeration cycle circuit and a cooling water circuit. The refrigeration cycle circuit includes a compressor, a radiator, and a first heat exchanger that exchanges heat between refrigerant and cooling water. The cooling water circuit includes a first cooling water circuit including the first heat exchanger, a storage battery heat exchanger, and a first pump; a second cooling water circuit including an external heat exchanger, a drive system heat exchanger that exchanges heat with a drive system component, and a second pump; a first thermal coupler that switches the cooling water circulating through the first cooling water circuit and the cooling water circulating through the second cooling water circuit between thermal coupling and separation; and a bypass circuit that includes an on-off valve connected to upstream and downstream of the external heat exchanger, provided in parallel with the first cooling water circuit.

Temperature control system

An air conditioning device for a vehicle includes a first flow path through which air subject to dehumidification flows, a second flow path through which air for recovery flows, a desiccant part and a controller. The desiccant part is fluidly communicated with the first and second flow paths, and configured to adsorb moisture contained in the air subject to dehumidification, and to discharge the moisture to the air for recovery. The controller is configured to control an air volume of the air subject to dehumidification and an air volume of the air for recovery so that the air volume of the air for recovery is less than the air volume of the air subject to dehumidification, after the air volume of the air for recovery reaches a prescribed air volume for achieving a target dehumidification amount of the air subject to dehumidification.

Air conditioning device for vehicle

A heat exchanger unit includes a heat exchanger main body in which a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger are arranged in series relative to a refrigerant flowing direction and an air flowing direction. The heat exchanger main body includes on one side thereof an external connection portion configured to supply at least refrigerant and on the other side thereof a communicating portion configured to connect (allowing fluid communication between) the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. A bypass flow path extends from the one side to the other side of the heat exchanger main body, and is configured to bypass the first heat exchanger. At least one of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger includes a pair of tank sections disposed at an interval, and a plurality of first heat transfer tubes configured to connect the pair of tank sections.
