Abstract
A thermal management system configured to deice at least one air-side heat exchanger by selectively operating the air-side heat exchanger as a heat rejecting heat exchanger. The thermal management system is further configured to select a heat source from a plurality of heat sources to elevate a temperature of a thermal fluid supplied to the heat rejecting heat exchanger. Additionally, at least some of the heat rejected by the heat rejecting heat exchanger can be recovered by another air-side heat exchanger being selectively operated as a heat absorbing heat exchanger. Such recovery of heat can also be facilitated by a reversible impeller such that, depending on which air-side heat exchangers are currently being operated as a heat rejecting or heat rejecting heat exchanger, can selectively direct the airflow in either a forward or reverse direction such that the heat absorbing heat exchanger is downstream of the heat rejecting heat exchanger.
