Abstract:
First circulation portions switch a flow of a heat transfer medium such that one of the heat transfer media for two systems selectively circulates through a radiator flow path or a first bypass flow path. Second circulation portions switch the flow of the heat transfer medium such that the heat transfer media for the two systems selectively circulate with respect to a second flow path group. The first circulation portions and the second circulation portions are adapted to switch the flow of the heat transfer medium so as to form a first circulation circuit for allowing the heat transfer medium to circulate among a first flow path group, the second flow path group, and a first pump, as well as a second circulation circuit for allowing the heat transfer medium to circulate among the first flow path group, the second flow path group, and a second pump.
Abstract:
In an operation mode for heating battery air, a refrigerant passage switching portion switches over to a first refrigerant passage in which a refrigerant including gas refrigerant flowing out of an interior condenser flows into an auxiliary heat exchanger through a first pipe having a relatively large passage cross-sectional area and a liquid refrigerant flowing out of the auxiliary heat exchanger flows to an inlet of an exterior heat exchanger through a second pipe having a relatively small passage cross-sectional area. Meanwhile, in an operation mode for cooling the battery air, the refrigerant passage switching portion switches over to a second refrigerant passage in which a liquid refrigerant flowing out of the exterior heat exchanger flows into the auxiliary heat exchanger through the second pipe and a gas refrigerant flowing out of the auxiliary heat exchanger flows to a suction port of a compressor through the first pipe.

In a heat pump system, when a heat-shock determination portion determines that a difference between a coolant temperature in a coolant flow path and a coolant temperature in a heat source flow path is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, a flow-path switching portion mixes the respective coolants flowing through at least a bypass flow path and the heat source flow path together to flow into the coolant flow path.

Abstract:
A vehicular heat management system includes a heat medium circuit, a heat source portion, and a device. A heat medium cooling an engine circulates in the heat medium circuit. The heat source portion heats the heat medium. The device is configured to function and heat the heat medium when the heat medium flowing into the device is at or above a predetermined temperature. When the engine is being warmed up, heat generated by the heat source portion is supplied to the device in preference to the engine. According to this, since the heat generated by the heat source portion is supplied to the device in preference to the engine when the engine is being warmed up, the engine can be warmed up early.

Each of the inter-battery passages includes a first inter-battery passage and a second inter-battery passage. Between the corresponding adjacent two of the batteries, a direction in which temperature regulating fluid flows into the first inter-battery passage and a direction in which temperature regulating fluid flows into the second inter-battery passage are different from each other. A flow direction of temperature regulating fluid flowing through the first inter-battery passage is opposite from a flow direction of temperature regulating fluid flowing through the second inter-battery passage.
