Thermal energy management device for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A thermal energy management device for a vehicle equipped with an electric generator associating a fuel cell and hydrogen reformer, said device comprising:
- a thermal source,at least one primary circuit for circulating a first heat-conducting fluid,at least one thermal exchanger, said primary circuit enabling calories to be collected from said thermal source and transported to said at least one thermal exchanger,wherein said at least one thermal exchanger is a sorption exchanger, andsaid primary circuit comprises a closed loop having at least two side outlets, said side outlets being positioned in series within the loop, each side outlet for heating a respective thermal exchanger, each side outlet having a valve capable of directing said first heat-conducting fluid through the outlet and capable of causing said first heat-conducting fluid to completely bypass the outlet.
