Abstract: Cooling systems include a cold sink thermally coupled to a heat load, a separator configured to separate liquid and vapor portions of a working fluid, and a cooling cycle having a vapor loop and a liquid loop, the cooling cycle having the working fluid configured to pass through both the vapor loop and the liquid loop. The vapor loop includes the separator, a compressor, a condenser, and a valve. A vapor form of the working fluid flows from the separator into the compressor, and the working fluid then flows to the condenser, and then through the valve, and returned to the separator. The liquid loop includes the cold sink, the separator, and a pump. A liquid form of the working fluid flows from the separator into the pump and the working fluid is increased in pressure and supplied to the cold sink and then returned to the separator.

Abstract: A charging station for a vehicle, a system and a method of charging the vehicle. The system includes a heat exchanger at the vehicle. The charging station includes a reservoir including a charging station coolant, a dispenser unit configured to circulate the charging station coolant from the reservoir through the vehicle to absorb heat generated at the vehicle, and a cooling unit for cooling the charging station coolant from the reservoir. Heat generated during the charging of the vehicle is transferred into a vehicle coolant circulating within the vehicle. The heat is transferred from the vehicle coolant to a charging station coolant. The charging station coolant is flowed out of the vehicle.
