Abstract: A vehicle having a heating and cooling system includes a refrigerant loop for conveying refrigerant, a coolant loop for conveying coolant, a chiller configured to convey the refrigerant and the coolant, and a vessel coupled to the chiller and having a phase change material disposed therein. The phase change material is configured to freeze via heat transfer from the phase change material to the refrigerant and melt via heat transfer from the coolant to the phase change material.

Abstract: A structural support member for a vehicle includes a structural member, a battery chiller additively manufactured and disposed at least partially within the support member. The battery chiller includes a pair of spaced apart coolant chambers and a plurality of hollow pins extending between the pair of spaced apart coolant chambers such that the pair of spaced apart coolant chambers are in fluid communication with each other via the plurality of hollow pins. A refrigerant chamber can be included and be between the pair of spaced apart coolant chambers such that coolant fluid flows from one of the pair of spaced apart coolant chambers to another of the pair of spaced apart coolant chambers through the refrigerant chamber via the plurality of hollow pins.

Abstract: A method of forming a superhydrophobic layer on a motor vehicle heat exchanger housing includes the steps of flowing a precursor gas of a mixture of heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrodecyl, trimethoxysilane (HTMS) and a carrier gas into a reaction chamber and depositing the superhydrophobic layer on the motor vehicle heat exchanger housing by chemical vapor deposition. A heat exchanger having a heat exchanger housing with a superhydrophobic layer made by the chemical vapor deposition method is also disclosed.
