Abstract

A thermal management system configured to selectively control a flow direction of ambient air across a stack of air-side heat exchangers. During a first mode of operation, an impeller can facilitate ambient air flowing over a second air-side heat exchanger, through which a refrigerant may flow, before the ambient air flows over a first air-side heat exchanger, thereby exposing the second air-side heat exchanger, which can be operating as a condenser, to potentially colder ambient air. In a second mode of operation, the impeller can facilitate an airflow over the first-air side heat exchanger before flowing over the second air-side heat exchanger. As the second air-side heat exchanger can operate as an evaporator during the second mode, the second air-side heat exchanger can recapture from the ambient air at least a portion of heat transferred from the first air-side heat exchanger, and transfer the recaptured heat to the refrigerant.
