Abstract: This disclosure details thermal management systems with two or more cooling loops for thermally managing multiple components of an electrified vehicle. An exemplary thermal management system may include a deaeration device that is fluidly connected to two or more cooling loops (e.g., a traction battery pack loop, a power electronics loop, etc.). The deaeration device is configured to allow for deaeration of the two or more cooling loops while reducing coolant transfer and heat transfer between the two or more cooling loops.

Abstract: An exemplary thermal management system includes, among other things, a heater loop, a battery loop, a radiator loop, and a power electronics loop operating within a glycol system. A first valve is in fluid communication with one or more of the heater loop, the battery loop, the radiator loop, and the power electronics loop. A second valve is in fluid communication with one or more of the heater loop, the battery loop, the radiator loop, and the power electronics loop. The second valve is fluidly connected to the first valve to provide at least one operational condition where waste heat from power electronics in the power electronics loop is used to heat a battery in the battery loop.

Abstract: A system includes a coolant system and a refrigerant system. The coolant system is in fluid communication with power electronics, a battery pack, and a cabin. The refrigerant system only interfaces with coolant from the coolant system, and wherein all cabin heat exchange and all refrigerant heat exchange is through coolant.

Abstract: An exemplary thermal management system includes, among other things, a heater loop, a battery loop, a radiator loop, and a power electronics loop operating within a glycol system. A first valve is in fluid communication with one or more of the heater loop, the battery loop, the radiator loop, and the power electronics loop. A second valve in fluid communication with one or more of the heater loop, the battery loop, the radiator loop, and the power electronics loop. The second valve is fluidly connected to the first valve to provide at least one operational condition where there is battery heating within the battery loop while a vehicle is off charge, and while also being able to independently heat a cabin.

A first valve is in fluid communication with one or more of the heater loop, the battery loop, the radiator loop, and the power electronics loop. A second valve is in fluid communication with one or more of the heater loop, the battery loop, the radiator loop, and the power electronics loop. A refrigerant system cooperates with the glycol system under at least one operational condition to actively chill power electronics in the power electronics loop and a battery in the battery loop while actively heating a cabin area.
