Abstract (en)

A thermal energy balancing device is provided which is connected to a thermal energy circuit (100) comprising a hot conduit (120) configured to allow heat transfer liquid of a first temperature to flow therethrough, and a cold conduit (140) configured to allow heat transfer liquid of a second temperature to flow therethrough. The second temperature is lower than the first temperature. The thermal energy balancing device comprises: a liquid-to-air heat exchanger (600) comprising a liquid phase primary side (610) and a gas phase secondary side (620); and a valve arrangement (500) configured to selectively set the thermal energy balancing device into a heat exhale mode and into a heat inhale mode.
