Abstract
An embodiment discloses a ball valve and a vehicle thermal management device including the same, in which the ball valve controls a movement of a refrigerant moving along the inside thereof or selectively expands the moving refrigerant by controlling a rotational position of a ball by using a ball having grooves and an actuator configured to control a rotation of the ball. Accordingly, the vehicle thermal management device may be implemented in a compact size while improving cooling/heating performance.
