Abstract
The invention relates to a thermal conditioning system including a refrigerant circuit having: a main loop including in succession: a compression device, a condenser configured to exchange heat with a first heat transfer fluid, a first expansion device, a first evaporator, a bypass branch including a second expansion device and a second evaporator. The second expansion device is a thermostatic expansion valve configured to vary a flow area for the refrigerant between a minimum flow area and a maximum flow area. The bypass branch includes a flow restriction device configured to limit a flow area for the refrigerant to a value less than the maximum flow area of the second expansion device.
