    The invention relates to the field of motor vehicles and more particularly to a reversible thermal management device for a motor vehicle.
    Current motor vehicles increasingly include a thermal management device. Generally, in a “conventional” thermal management device, a refrigerant circulates in an air conditioning circuit and passes successively through a compressor, a first heat exchanger, called a condenser, placed in contact with an air flow outside the motor vehicle. to release heat, an expansion device and a second heat exchanger, called an evaporator, placed in contact with a flow of air inside the motor vehicle to cool it.
    There are also more complex air conditioning circuit architectures which make it possible to obtain an invertible thermal management device, that is to say that it can use a heat pump operating mode in which it is able to absorb heat. calorific energy in the outside air at the level of the first heat exchanger, then called evapo-condenser, and restore it in the passenger compartment in particular by means of a third dedicated heat exchanger.
    This is possible in particular by using a dedicated internal condenser arranged in the internal air flow and making it possible to heat said internal air flow.
    The thermal management device can also include one or more heat exchangers, generally arranged in parallel with the evaporator, in order for example to cool elements such as the batteries in a hybrid or electric vehicle.
    The thermal management device thus generally comprises a dedicated expansion device upstream of each heat exchanger. Such an architecture is not suitable because it requires as many expansion devices as heat exchangers which can play the role of evaporator and therefore it is expensive.
    One of the aims of the present invention is therefore to at least partially remedy the drawbacks of the prior art and to propose an improved and less expensive thermal management device.
    The present invention therefore relates to a reversible thermal management device for a motor vehicle, said thermal management device comprising a refrigerant circuit in which a refrigerant circulates and comprising:

    The following embodiments are examples. Although the description refers to one or more embodiments, this does not necessarily mean that each reference relates to the same embodiment, or that the characteristics apply only to a single embodiment. Simple features of different embodiments can also be combined and / or interchanged to provide other embodiments.
    In the present description, it is possible to index certain elements or parameters, such as for example first element or second element as well as first parameter and second parameter or again first criterion and second criterion, etc. In this case, it is a simple indexing to differentiate and name elements or parameters or criteria close, but not identical. This indexing does not imply a priority of an element, parameter or criterion over another and one can easily interchange such names without departing from the scope of this description.
    In the present description, the term "placed upstream" means that one element is placed before another with respect to the direction of circulation of a fluid. Conversely, by "placed downstream" is meant that one element is placed after another with respect to the direction of circulation of the fluid.
    Figure 1 shows a reversible thermal management device 1 of a motor vehicle. This thermal management device 1 comprises a coolant circuit in which a coolant circulates. In the representation of FIG. 1 as well as in the following figures, the refrigerant circuit is in particular divided into a main loop A to which branch branches B, C, D, E and E. The choice of this loop is connected principal A is an arbitrary choice used in order to facilitate the comprehension of the various branches and the position of the various elements with respect to each other. The main loop A is shown in solid lines and the branch branches B, C, D, E and E in dotted lines.
    The main loop A successively comprises a compressor 3, an internal condenser 5, a first expansion device 7 and an external evaporator / condenser 9. Here, the term "internal" means that the element is intended to be traversed by a flow of internal air 200 which is itself intended to join the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. By "external" is meant that the element is intended to be traversed by an external air flow 100 coming from outside the motor vehicle.
    The refrigerant is in particular intended to circulate in the compressor 3, the internal condenser 5, the first expansion device 7 and the external evaporator / condenser 9 in a mode of operation called heat pump which will be detailed later in the description. . It is this direction of circulation of the refrigerant which is taken into account arbitrarily to facilitate understanding and define the terms "upstream" and "downstream".
    Upstream of the compressor 3, the main loop A may include a phase separator 15.
    The thermal management device 1 also includes a first branch branch B connecting a first connection point 51 to a second connection point 52. The first connection point is disposed on the main loop A upstream of the first expansion device 7, between said first expansion device 7 and the internal condenser 5. The second connection point 52 is for its part disposed on the main loop A upstream of the evapo / external condenser 9, between said evapo / external condenser 9 and the first expansion device 7.
    The thermal management device 1 also includes a second branch branch C connecting a third connection point 53 to a fourth connection point 54. The third connection point 53 is disposed on the main loop A downstream of the evaporator / condenser external 9, between said external evaporator / condenser 9 and the compressor 3. The fourth connection point 54 is for its part disposed on the main loop A upstream of the first expansion device 7, between said first expansion device 7 and the first connection point 51.
    The thermal management device 1 finally comprises a third branch branch D connecting a fifth connection point 55 to a sixth connection point 56. The fifth connection point 55 is disposed on the main loop A downstream of the first expansion device 7 , between said first expansion device 7 and the second connection point 52. The sixth connection point 56 is for its part disposed on the main loop A upstream of the compressor 3, between said compressor 3 and the third connection point 53. This third branch branch D includes in particular at least one heat exchanger 11-13.
    The thermal management device 1 also includes a device for redirecting the refrigerant coming from the internal condenser 5 to the first expansion device 7 or to the first branch branch B. This redirecting device makes it possible to choose whether the coolant coming from of the internal condenser 5 is redirected to the first expansion device 7 or to the first branch branch B depending on the operating mode chosen.
    This redirection device can in particular be composed of two stop valves 21-22. A first stop valve 21 is disposed on the main loop A upstream of the first expansion device 7, between the first 51 and the fourth 54 connection point. A second stop valve 22 is disposed on the first branch branch B. Depending on the opening or closing of these stop valves 21-22 it is thus possible to control the direction of the refrigerant.
    The thermal management device 1 also includes various elements for controlling the circulation of the refrigerant allowing operation according to different operating modes.
    The second branch branch C thus comprises a first non-return valve 24 arranged so as to block the coolant coming from the internal condenser 5, that is to say from the fourth connection point 54.
    The main loop A has a stop valve 23 for the refrigerant arranged between the third 53 and the sixth 56 connection point. The main loop A also includes a second non-return valve 25 disposed between the second 52 and the fifth 55 connection point so as to block the refrigerant coming from the evapo / condenser 9, that is to say from the second point connection 52.
    The thermal management device 1 also comprises a device for redirecting the coolant coming from the first expansion device 7 to the at least one heat exchanger 11-13 of the third branch branch D or to the evaporator / condenser 9.
    This device for redirecting the refrigerant coming from the first expansion device 7 thus makes it possible to redirect the refrigerant having passed through the first expansion device.
    The device for redirection of the coolant coming from the first expansion device 7 may in particular comprise:
    ° a first stop valve 31 arranged on the main loop A upstream of the evapo / condenser 9, between the fifth connection point 55 and the second non-return valve 25, ° at least one other stop valve 32-33 disposed on the third branch branch D upstream of the at least one heat exchanger 11-13, between the fifth connection point 55 and the at least one heat exchanger 11-13.
    In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the reversible thermal management device 1 comprises two heat exchangers 11-13 on the third branch branch D. more precisely, these two heat exchangers 11-13 are connected in parallel. one of the other. Thus, the third branch branch D includes an internal evaporator 11 and a cooler 13. This cooler 13 is arranged on a fourth branch branch E connecting a seventh connection point 57 to an eighth connection point 58. The seventh connection point is disposed on the third branch branch D downstream of the fifth connection point 55, between said fifth branch point 55 and the internal evaporator 11. The eighth connection point 58 is itself disposed on the third branch branch D upstream of the sixth connection point 56, between said sixth connection point 56 and the internal evaporator 11.
    In this example, the device for redirecting the coolant coming from the first expansion device 7 is configured to redirect the fluid to the evapo / condenser 9 or to the internal evaporator 11 and / or the cooler 13. For this, the device for redirection of the coolant coming from the first expansion device 7 may in particular comprise:
    ° a second stop valve 32 disposed on the third branch branch D upstream of the internal evaporator 11, between said internal evaporator 11 and the seventh connection point 57, and ° a third stop valve 33 arranged on the fourth branch branch (E) upstream of the cooler 13, between said cooler 13 and the seventh connection point 57.
    It should be noted that the invention is not limited to an example with one or two heat exchangers 11-13 and that it is possible to have a greater number of heat exchangers 11-13 on the third branch bypass D. The coolant redirection device from the first expansion device 7 can be configured to control the distribution of the coolant for each of these heat exchangers 11-13.
    The internal evaporator 11 can be more particularly arranged in the internal air flow 200 intended for the passenger compartment in order to cool the latter.
    The cooler 13 can for example be a cooler intended to cool elements such as the batteries of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle. The cooler 13 can also be, for example, another evaporator placed in an internal air flow 200, for example in the case of air conditioning with several zones.
    The reversible thermal management device 1 can also include a heating, ventilation and air conditioning device inside which is intended to circulate an internal air flow 200 in the direction of the passenger compartment. Within this heating, ventilation and air conditioning device, the internal evaporator 11 and the internal condenser 5 are arranged so as to be traversed by the internal air flow 200. The internal evaporator 11 is more precisely arranged upstream of the internal condenser 5 in the direction of circulation of the internal air flow 200.
    The heating, ventilation and air conditioning device may also include a flap 300 arranged so as to block the internal air flow 200 so that it does not pass through the internal condenser 5. This flap 300 allows the operation of the reversible thermal management device 1 according to different operating modes as described in more detail later in the present description.
    The coolant redirection device from the first expansion device 7 is controlled via pulse width modulation signals. Thus, in the example of FIG. 1 with an evaporator / condenser 9, an evaporator 11 and a cooler 13 and with a device for redirection of the refrigerant fluid coming from the first expansion device 7 comprising a first 31, a second 32 and a third 33 stop valve, the sum of the pulse width modulation signals controlling the stop valves 31-32-33 at an instant T is 100% so that there is always at least one valve stop 31-32-33 open. The shut-off valve 31-32-33 corresponding to the supply of coolant to the heat exchanger 9, 11 or 13 which is used in the selected operating mode will thus be open.
    Figures 2 to 7 show the reversible thermal management device 1 according to different operating modes. In these figures 2 to 7, only the active elements are shown. The direction of circulation of the refrigerant is represented by arrows.
    1) first heat pump mode:
    FIG. 2 shows the reversible thermal management device 1 according to a first mode of operation called the heat pump.
    In this first heat pump mode, the refrigerant first passes through the compressor 3 at which it undergoes a pressure increase. The refrigerant then passes through the internal condenser 5 which is crossed by the internal air flow 200. For this, the flap 300 is open. The refrigerant transfers heat energy to the internal air flow 200 and then passes into the first expansion device 7 at which it undergoes a pressure loss. The refrigerant then passes through the evapo / condenser 9 at which it recovers heat energy in the external air flow 100. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor 3.
    In this first heat pump mode, the refrigerant circulates only in the main loop A.
    In order for this path to be possible, the device for redirecting the coolant coming from the internal condenser 5 redirects the coolant to the first expansion device 7. For this, its first stop valve 21 is open and its second valve stop 22 is closed.
    The coolant redirection device from the first expansion device 7 redirects the coolant to the evaporator / condenser 9. For this, its first stop valve 31 is open and its second 32 and third 33 valves are closed.
    The shut-off valve 23 is open.
    This first heat pump mode makes it possible to heat the internal air flow 200 and thus to heat the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.
    2) first cooling mode:
    FIG. 3 shows the reversible thermal management device 1 according to a first operating mode known as cooling.
    In this cooling mode, the refrigerant first passes through the compressor 3 at which it undergoes a pressure increase. The refrigerant then passes through the internal condenser 5 which is not crossed by the internal air flow 200. For this, the flap 300 is closed. The refrigerant then passes into the first branch B and joins the evapo / condenser 9. The refrigerant gives up heat energy to the external air flow 100 and then passes into the first expansion device 7 via the second branch branch C. At the first expansion device 7, the refrigerant undergoes a pressure loss. The refrigerant then passes into the third branch branch D and passes into the evaporator 11 at which it recovers heat energy in the external air flow 200. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor 3.
    In order for this path to be possible, the device for redirecting the coolant from the internal condenser 5 redirects the coolant to the first branch branch C. For this, its first stop valve 21 is closed and its second valve stop 22 is open.
    In this first cooling mode, the refrigerant leaving the first expansion device 7 passes only through the evaporator 11. The device for redirecting the refrigerant coming from the first expansion device 7 redirects the refrigerant only to the evaporator 11. For this, its first stop valve 31 is closed. Its second stop valve 32 is open and its third stop valve 33 is closed.
    The shut-off valve 23 is closed.
    In this first cooling mode, the reversible thermal management device 1 is used to exclusively cool the internal air flow 200 and therefore the passenger compartment.
    3) second cooling mode:
    Figure 4 shows the reversible thermal management device 1 according to a second operating mode called cooling.
    This second cooling mode is identical to the first cooling mode with the difference that at the outlet of the first expansion device 7 the refrigerant passes in the third branch branch D and in the fourth branch branch E to join the cooler 13 at instead of the evaporator 11. At the cooler 13, the refrigerant recovers heat energy. The refrigerant then returns to compressor 3.
    In this second cooling mode, the refrigerant leaving the first expansion device 7 passes only through the cooler 13. The device for redirecting the refrigerant coming from the first expansion device 7 redirects the refrigerant only to the cooler 13. For this, its first stop valve 31 is closed. Its second stop valve 32 is closed and its third stop valve 33 is open.
    The shut-off valve 23 is closed.
    This second cooling mode, the reversible thermal management device 1 is used to exclusively cool the element associated with the cooler 13, for example the batteries of a hybrid or electric motor vehicle.
    4) mixed cooling mode:
    FIG. 5 shows the reversible thermal management device 1 according to a so-called mixed cooling operating mode.
    This mixed cooling mode is identical to the first and second cooling modes with the difference that at the outlet of the first expansion device 7 the refrigerant passes through the third branch branch D and into the fourth branch branch E to cross at the both the cooler 13 and the evaporator 11. At the cooler 13 and the evaporator 11, the refrigerant recovers heat energy. The refrigerant then returns to compressor 3.
    In this mixed cooling mode, the refrigerant leaving the first expansion device 7 passes both through the cooler 13 and through the evaporator 11. The device for redirecting the refrigerant coming from the first expansion device 7 redirects the refrigerant simultaneously to the cooler 13 and the evaporator 11. For this, its first stop valve 31 is closed. Its second 32 and third 33 stop valve are open.
    The shut-off valve 23 is closed.
    In this mixed cooling mode, the reversible thermal management device 1 is used to cool both the internal air flow 200 and the element associated with the cooler 13, for example the batteries of a hybrid or electric motor vehicle.
    5) dehumidification mode:
    FIG. 6a shows the reversible thermal management device 1 according to a so-called dehumidification operating mode.
    In this dehumidification mode, the refrigerant first passes through the compressor 3 at which it undergoes a pressure increase. The refrigerant then passes through the internal condenser 5 which is crossed by the internal air flow 200. For this, the flap 300 is open. The refrigerant transfers heat energy to the internal air flow 200 and then passes into the first expansion device 7 at which it undergoes a pressure loss.
    A first part of the refrigerant then passes through the evapo / condenser 9 at the level of which it recovers heat energy in the external air flow 100.
    A second part of the refrigerant passes through the third branch branch D and passes into the evaporator 11 at which it recovers heat energy in the external air flow 200.
    The refrigerant then returns to compressor 3.
    In order for this path to be possible, the device for redirecting the coolant coming from the internal condenser 5 redirects the coolant to the first expansion device 7. For this, its first stop valve 21 is open and its second valve stop 22 is closed.
    The coolant redirection device from the first expansion device 7 redirects the coolant to the evaporator / condenser 9 and to the evaporator 11. For this, its first 31 and its second 32 shut-off valve 31 are open and its third stop valve 33 is closed.
    The shut-off valve 23 is open.
    This dehumidification mode makes it possible to heat the internal air flow 200 and thus to heat the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. The internal air flow 200 is dehumidified by the fact that it undergoes cooling before being heated.
    This cooling causes the moisture in the internal airflow to condense.
    In this dehumidification mode, the refrigerant circulates in parallel in the evapo / condenser 9 and the evaporator 11. It is however quite possible to imagine an alternative dehumidification mode, illustrated in FIG. 6b, in which the 'evapo / condenser 9 and the evaporator 11 are in series.
    For this alternative dehumidification mode, the first branch branch B comprises an expansion device. This expansion device can be a dedicated expansion device or it can replace the second stop valve 22 and include a stop function.
    In this alternative dehumidification mode, the refrigerant leaving the internal condenser 5 passes through the first branch branch B. For this, the first stop valve 21 is closed. The refrigerant undergoes a first pressure loss at the expansion device of the first branch branch B.
    The refrigerant then crosses the evapo / conductor 9 at which it recovers heat energy in the external air flow 100. The refrigerant then passes through the second branch branch C. For this, the valve stop 23 is closed.
    The refrigerant passes through the first expansion device 7 at which it undergoes a second pressure loss. The device for redirecting the coolant from the first expansion device 7 redirects the coolant to the evaporator 11. For this, its first 31 and its third stop valve 33 are closed and its second valve stop 32 is open. At the evaporator 11, the refrigerant recovers heat energy in the external air flow 200. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor 3.
    6) heat recovery mode:
    FIG. 7 shows the reversible thermal management device 1 according to a so-called heat recovery operating mode.
    In this heat recovery mode, the refrigerant first passes through the compressor 3 at which it undergoes a pressure increase. The refrigerant then passes through the internal condenser 5 which is crossed by the internal air flow 200. For this, the flap 300 is open. The refrigerant transfers heat energy to the internal air flow 200 and then passes into the first expansion device 7 at which it undergoes a pressure loss. The refrigerant passes into the third branch branch D and into the fourth branch branch E passes into the cooler 13 at which it recovers heat energy.
    The refrigerant then returns to compressor 3.
    In order for this path to be possible, the device for redirecting the coolant coming from the internal condenser 5 redirects the coolant to the first expansion device 7. For this, its first stop valve 21 is open and its second valve stop 22 is closed.
    The refrigerant leaving the first expansion device 7 passes only into the cooler 13. The coolant redirection device from the first expansion device 7 redirects the coolant only to the cooler 13. For this, its first valve d stop 31 is closed. Its second stop valve 32 is closed and its third stop valve 33 is open.
    The shut-off valve 23 is closed.
    This heat recovery mode makes it possible to recover heat energy at the level of the element associated with the cooler 13, for example the batteries of a hybrid or electric motor vehicle, in order to heat the internal air flow 200.
    In an alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8, the reversible thermal management device 1 can comprise an internal heat exchanger 17. This internal heat exchanger 17 is arranged on the one hand on the second branch branch C downstream of the first non-return valve 24, between said first non-return valve 24 and the fourth connection point 54 and on the other hand on the main loop A upstream of the compressor 3, between said compressor 3 and the sixth connection point 56. This heat exchanger internal heat 17 thus allows the heat exchanges between the refrigerant leaving the evapo / condenser 9 and the refrigerant leaving the at least one heat exchanger 11-13. This heat exchange makes it possible in particular to improve the coefficient of performance of the reversible thermal management device 1 in certain operating modes.
    As illustrated in FIG. 8, the reversible thermal management device 1 can also include a second expansion device 30 disposed on the third branch branch D downstream of the at least one heat exchanger 11-13. This second expansion device 30, for example a tube orifice with a stop function, makes it possible to subject the pressure fluid to the refrigerant leaving the at least one heat exchanger 11-13 before returning to the loop main A. This second expansion device 30 can in particular be arranged between the eighth 58 and the sixth 56 connection point. This second expansion device 30 is particularly useful for rebalancing the pressure of the coolant in the case where the pressure of the coolant at the outlet of the evaporator / condenser 9 is different from that at the outlet of the at least one heat exchanger. heat 11-13, more precisely from the evaporator 11 in the dehumidification mode.
    According to another embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9, the reversible thermal management device 1 can also comprise a blocking device 29 for the refrigerant fluid disposed on the third branch branch D downstream of the at least one heat exchanger 11-13. This blocking device 29 can for example be the second expansion device 30 if the latter includes a stop function or else it can simply be a dedicated stop valve.
    In this other embodiment, the reversible thermal management device 1 also includes a fifth branch branch F connecting a ninth connection point 59 and a tenth connection point 60. The ninth connection point 59 is arranged on the third branch bypass D between the blocking device 29 and the at least one heat exchanger 11-13. The tenth connection point 60 is in turn disposed on the second connection branch C between said first non-return valve 24 and the third connection point 53. This fifth branch branch F also includes a third non-return valve 26 so as to block the refrigerant from the tenth connection point 60.
    The reversible thermal management device 1 also comprises a fourth non-return valve 27 disposed on the second branch branch C between the third 53 and the tenth 60 connection point. This fourth non-return valve 27 is positioned so as to block the refrigerant coming from the tenth connection point 60.
    In addition, the reversible thermal management device 1 comprises a sixth branch branch G connecting an eleventh connection point 61 to a twelfth connection point 62. This eleventh connection point 61 is disposed on the second branch branch C between the tenth connection point 60 and the first non-return valve 24. The twelfth connection point 62 is for its part disposed on the main loop A downstream of the second non-return valve 25, between said second non-return valve 25 and the second connection point 52. This sixth branch branch G includes a fifth non-return valve 28 positioned so as to block the refrigerant coming from the twelfth connection point 62.
    The reversible thermal management device 1 finally comprises a third expansion device 19 disposed on the second branch branch C between the tenth 60 and the eleventh 61 connection point.
    This other embodiment allows the thermal management device 1 to operate in a second heat pump mode illustrated in FIG. 10 in which the evaporator 11 and the evaporator / condenser 9 operate in series.
    In this second heat pump mode, the refrigerant first passes through the compressor 3 at which it undergoes a pressure increase. The refrigerant then passes through the internal condenser 5 which is crossed by the internal air flow 200. For this, the flap 300 is open. The refrigerant transfers heat energy to the internal air flow 200 and then passes into the first expansion device 7 at which it undergoes a first pressure loss. The refrigerant then passes through the third branch branch D and passes through the evaporator 11 at which it recovers heat energy in the external air flow 200. The refrigerant then joins the second expansion device 19 on the second branch branch C passing through the fifth branch branch F. At the second expansion device 17 the refrigerant undergoes a second pressure loss. The refrigerant then passes through the sixth branch branch G to join and pass through the evapo / condenser 9 at the level of which it recovers heat energy in the external air flow 100. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor 3 .
    In order for this path to be possible, the device for redirecting the coolant coming from the internal condenser 5 redirects the coolant to the first expansion device 7. For this, its first stop valve 21 is open and its second valve stop 22 is closed.
    The coolant redirection device from the first expansion device 7 redirects the coolant to the evaporator 11. For this, its first 31 and its third 33 stop valve 31 are closed and its second valve d stop 32 is open.
    The shut-off valve 23 is open.
    The locking device 29 is closed.
    This second heat pump mode makes it possible to heat the internal air flow 200 and thus to heat the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle when the outside temperature is negative. The internal air flow 200 is then in recycling mode, that is to say that the heating, ventilation and air conditioning device recycles the air in the passenger compartment to generate the internal air flow 200.
    Thus, it can be seen that apart from its architecture comprising a first expansion device 7 whose refrigerant at the outlet is redistributed by a dedicated redirection device, the reversible thermal management device 1 requires fewer elements, in particular expansion devices and therefore is less expensive. This while allowing several essential operating modes.
