Some cooling / heat is supplied through methods such as operating a refrigerant circulation loop, activating a heater, or using the coolant's own cooling capacity. Some heat is recovered through methods such as recycling cooling / heat from other components. Integrating some components of the thermal management system creates a heat exchange device 7.
[0072] The various components of the thermal management system are connected by piping to form two separate systems: the refrigerant system and the coolant system. The refrigerant system circulates refrigerant, while the coolant system circulates coolant. The refrigerant can be R134A, carbon dioxide, or another heat exchange medium, while the coolant can be a mixture of ethanol and water or another cooling medium.
[0073] In the present application, the thermal management system includes a compressor 6 and a heat exchange device 7 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments. The structure of the heat exchange device 7 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For the convenience of description, this embodiment is described as an example in which the heat exchange device 7 includes a diversion part 5, a first throttling part 14 and a second throttling part 15.

The thermal management system of the present application is a full-circuit system. Depending on whether the air replenishment and enthalpy increase function is turned on, the flow path of the refrigerant is divided into two situations.
[0075] like Figure 9 As shown, when the air replenishment and enthalpy increase function of the heat exchange device 7 is turned on, the flow path of the refrigerant is as follows: it flows out from the outlet of the compressor 6, passes through the seventh flow channel S1 of the condensing part 1, the liquid storage chamber 21 of the liquid storage part 2, the ninth flow channel S9 of the supercooling part 9, the first opening 51 of the diverter part 5, and the inner cavity of the diverter part 5.

The other way flows out from the third opening 53 of the diverter part 5, passes through the fourth opening 141 of the first throttling part 14, the inner cavity of the first throttling part 14, the fifth opening 142 of the first throttling part 14, the second flow channel S8 of the air replenishment and enthalpy increase part 8, and enters the air replenishment and enthalpy increase inlet of the compressor 6.
[0076] like Figure 10As shown, when the air replenishment and enthalpy increase function of the heat exchange device 7 is turned off, the flow path of the refrigerant is as follows: flowing out from the outlet of the compressor 6, through the seventh flow channel S1 of the condensation part 1, the liquid storage chamber 21 of the liquid storage part 2, the ninth flow channel S9 of the supercooling part 9, the first opening 51 of the diverter part 5, the inner cavity of the diverter part 5, the sixth opening 54 of the diverter part 5, the third flow channel S5 of the intermediate heat exchange part 4, the seventh opening 151 of the second throttling part 15, the inner cavity of the second throttling part 15, the eighth opening 152 of the second throttling part 15, the fifth flow channel S3 of the evaporation part 3, the fourth flow channel S6 of the intermediate heat exchange part 4, and enters the inlet of the compressor 6.
[0077] The condensing section 1 serves as a water-cooled condenser for heating the coolant. The evaporating section 3 serves as a water-cooled evaporator for reducing the coolant temperature. The intermediate heat exchange section 4 serves as an intermediate heat exchanger for exchanging heat between a higher-temperature refrigerant and a lower-temperature refrigerant. The liquid storage section 2 serves as a liquid reservoir for storing refrigerant. The subcooling section 9 serves as a subcooler for cooling the refrigerant to a temperature below its saturation temperature. The coolant system can be designed as required and is not limited by this application.
[0078] The thermal management system of the present application is a full-circuit system, which can reduce the refrigerant charge, lower the leakage rate, and is more conducive to the integration of the refrigerant system. The use of a highly integrated heat exchange device 7 makes the thermal management system occupy less space.

The two components can be connected by only a pipeline or by a valve device or other components in addition to the pipeline. Similarly, the term "communication" between two components can be a direct connection or a connection via a pipeline. The two components can be connected by only a pipeline or by a valve device or other components in addition to the pipeline.
