INTEGRATED HOT AND COLD STORAGE SYSTEMS LINKED TO HEAT PUMP

摘要

A control module for a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system includes a housing having an air flow conduit formed therein. An evaporator core is disposed in the air flow conduit, wherein at least a portion of the evaporator is configured to receive a fluid from a fluid source therein. An internal thermal energy exchanger is disposed in the air flow conduit downstream of at least a portion of the evaporator core and upstream of a blend door disposed in the air flow conduit. The internal thermal energy exchanger is configured to receive a second fluid from a second fluid source and a third fluid from a third fluid source, wherein the second fluid absorbs thermal energy from a flow of air through the air flow conduit and the third fluid releases thermal energy from the flow of air through the air flow conduit.

1. A heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a vehicle, comprising:
a control module including a housing having an air flow conduit formed therein, the air flow conduit in fluid communication with a passenger compartment of the vehicle; an evaporator core disposed in the air flow conduit, at least a portion of the evaporator core configured to receive a first fluid from a first fluid source; and a thermal energy exchanger disposed in the air flow conduit downstream of the at least a portion the evaporator core, the thermal energy exchanger configured to receive a second fluid from a second fluid source and a third fluid from a third fluid source, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid are different fluid types, and wherein the second fluid absorbs thermal energy from a flow of air through the air flow conduit and the third fluid releases thermal energy to the flow of air through the air flow conduit.
