Abstract
A thermal management system for a vehicle includes a first refrigeration cycle thermally connected to a passenger compartment and including a first refrigerant loop, a battery cooling sub-system thermally connected to a battery and including a battery coolant loop, and a second refrigeration cycle thermally connected to the first refrigeration cycle and the battery cooling sub-system and including a second refrigerant loop. The second refrigeration cycle may include an upstream-side heat exchanger configured to selectively transfer heat between the first refrigerant loop and the second refrigerant loop, and a downstream-side heat exchanger configured to transfer heat between the battery coolant loop and the second refrigerant loop.
