A thermal management system for an aircraft includes a liquid loop, a vapor compression cycle loop, and an air loop. The liquid loop includes a pump to deliver a working fluid a cold sink for cooling a heat load with the working fluid. The vapor compression cycle loop is fluidly coupled to the liquid loop by a separator. The separator is configured to separate a two-phase form of the working fluid into a vapor form of the working fluid for delivery to a compressor of the vapor compression cycle loop and a liquid form of the working fluid for delivery to the liquid loop. The air loop in thermal communication with the working fluid and configured to provide a cooling or heating air for an aircraft cabin.
