Abstract
In at least one embodiment, a vehicle climate control system including a compressor, at least one sensor, and at least one controller is provided. The compressor is configured to circulate fluid about a refrigerant loop. The at least one sensor is configured to provide a signal indicative of a pressure of the fluid in the refrigerant loop. The at least one controller is programmed to control a first valve to open to enable the fluid to flow to an evaporator for a battery responsive to the pressure of the fluid being greater than a predetermined pressure level to reduce the pressure of the fluid.
