Abstract
An integrated thermal management circuit for vehicles, includes a refrigerant line configured so that a refrigerant subsequently flows into a compressor and a refrigerant heater, the refrigerant discharged from the refrigerant heater passes through an internal condenser or an integrated chiller and then flows into an external condenser, and the refrigerant discharged from the external condenser passes through the integrated chiller or an evaporator and then flows into the compressor, a battery cooling line configured so that a coolant circulates between a battery and an integrated radiator or the integrated chiller, an electronic part cooling line configured so that the coolant circulates between an electronic driving unit and the integrated radiator or the integrated chiller, and a heat radiation control valve provided between the refrigerant heater and the internal condenser on the refrigerant line and configured to control an amount of heat radiated by the internal condenser.
