A thermal management system comprises a refrigerant loop that comprises an internal condenser and an external condenser. The internal condenser is configured to provide supplemental cooling to the refrigerant in the refrigerant loop such that the external condenser can operate at a mass flow that produces optimum efficiency. An internal condenser bypass line is used to direct sufficient refrigerant around the internal condenser to allow the internal condenser to also operate at a mass flow that produces optimum efficiency. 一种热管理系统包括制冷剂环路，该制冷剂环路包括内部冷凝器和外部冷凝器。该内部冷凝器被配置用于对该制冷剂环路中的制冷剂提供补充冷却，使得该外部冷凝器可以以产生最佳效率的质量流量来运行。内部冷凝器旁通管线用于将足够的制冷剂围绕该内部冷凝器引导，以允许该内部冷凝器同样以产生最佳效率的质量流量来运行。
