The integrated automotive HVAC/PTC system of the present invention
includes a bi-fluidic heat exchanger between an air conditioning
subsystem and a heating subsystem which enables heat extracted during
dehumidification of the ventilation air to be transferred into
dehumidified ventilation air. The HVAC/PTC system includes reconfigurable
coolant loops and reconfigurable refrigerant loops, some of which act in
concert and some of which may be isolated. Power train components,
including the power supply, may be grouped by heat transfer requirements
and may be cooled or heated as needed. Power train cooling is
accomplished with coolant in the heating subsystem chilled by the air
conditioning system.
