Thermal management systems and methods for recreational vehicles

Abstract

A recreational vehicle 10 includes a first heat source 31, a second heat source 51, a first heat sink 54, and a second heat sink 55. At least one heat transfer loop 30, 50 is configured to transfer thermal energy from the first heat source to at least one of the first and second heat sinks and is further configured to transfer thermal energy from the second heat source to at least one of the first and second heat sinks. The at least one heat transfer loop may comprise two heat transfer loops where the first heat transfer loop comprises the first heat source and the second heat transfer loop comprises the second heat source and the first and second heat sinks. A third heat transfer loop 70 may be in communication with he first heat transfer loop and may be a heat pump.
