Abstract
A thermal management system includes a closed dynamic cooling circuit, and a closed first steady-state cooling circuit. Each circuit has its own compressor, heat rejection exchanger, and expansion device. A thermal energy storage (TES) system is configured to receive a dynamic load and thermally couple the dynamic cooling circuit and the first steady-state cooling circuit. The dynamic cooling circuit is configured to cool the TES to fully absorb thermal energy received by the TES when a dynamic thermal load is ON, and the steady-state cooling circuit is configured to cool the TES when the dynamic thermal load is OFF.
