Abstract
A circuit for circulating refrigerant in a vehicle includes a main branch including a main heat exchanger comprising at least one inlet for refrigerant. The circuit further includes a first branch and a second branch that extend between a point of divergence and a point of convergence. The first branch includes a first compression device, a first expansion member and a first heat exchanger configured to thermally treat an electrical storage device of the vehicle. The second branch includes a second compression device, a second expansion member and a second heat exchanger configured to thermally treat a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The circuit further includes a high-pressure line that includes a first portion extending between an outlet of the first compression device and the inlet. The high-pressure line includes a second portion extending between an outlet of the second compression device and the inlet.
