Zusammenfassung:A thermal management system may include a cabin heating and cooling system configured to control temperature in a vehicle cabin. The cabin heating and cooling system may include a cabin refrigerant circuit including a cabin refrigerant cycle configured to cool air. The thermal management system may also include an auxiliary heating and cooling system including an auxiliary coolant circuit, and the auxiliary coolant circuit may be in flow communication with an auxiliary device of the vehicle. The thermal management system may also include a chiller in flow communication with the cabin refrigerant circuit and the auxiliary coolant circuit. The chiller may be configured to exchange thermal energy between the cabin refrigerant circuit and the auxiliary coolant circuit. The thermal management system may also include a powertrain heating and cooling system including a powertrain coolant conduit configured to be in flow communication with an electric machine.
