Abstract
The thermal management system includes: one or more heat acceptors which remove heat from one or more warm temperature heat sources; one or more absorption heat pumps, which use the heat removed from the warm temperature heat sources to generate either refrigeration or heating; a transfer system, such as a generator pumped liquid loop, for moving heat from the warm temperature heat sources to the absorption heat pumps; a transfer system, such as an absorber pumped liquid loop, for directing heat from the absorption heat pumps to one or more heat sink(s) at one or more temperatures if the absorption heat pumps are generating refrigeration; a transfer system, such as an evaporator pumped liquid loop, for directing heat from one or more cool temperature heat sources, at one or more temperatures, to the absorption heat pump(s) if the absorption heat pump(s) are operating generating heating; a transfer system, such as an evaporator pumped liquid loop, for directing heat from one or more cooling loads to the absorption heat pumps if the absorption heat pumps are generating refrigeration; and a transfer system, such as an absorber pumped liquid loop, for directing heat from the absorption heat pumps to one or more heating loads if the absorption heat pumps are generating heating.
