The disclosed air-conditioning system for a vehicle driven by a motor, has a refrigerant circuit with a plurality of heat exchangers through which a refrigerant can be conducted for an exchange of heat with the air which flows through them, and has a heat pump heat exchanger in which an exchange of heat with a coolant circuit, in which at least one coolant cooler is arranged, takes place. It is possible for the coolant cooler, in the heating mode, to be used as a heat exchanger for absorbing heat from the environment. It is possible for the coolant cooler to be connected in series downstream of the heat pump heat exchanger in the coolant circuit A method for regulating such an air-conditioning system is also disclosed.

Cooling system for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to an air-conditioning system for a motor-driven vehicle, having a refrigerant circuit () with a plurality of heat exchangers () through which a refrigerant can be conducted for an exchange of heat with the air which flows through them, with it being possible for the heat exchangers () to be operated as heaters or as evaporators as a function of the operating state of the air-conditioning system, and at least one third heat exchanger () is provided in the refrigerant circuit (), which third heat exchanger () serves for an exchange of heat with a coolant circuit () which is formed separately from the refrigerant circuit (). The vehicle can be both a motor vehicle and also a fuel-cell-driven vehicle.

The invention pertains to a stationary vehicle air conditioning system with a refrigerant circuit, in which at least one compressor circulates the refrigerant to at least two condensers. The at least one compressor may be powered by the vehicle's mechanical power, by an electrical source, or by a combination of these driving forces. Depending on desired operating characteristics, the condensers may be arranged in a series or parallel configuration. A second compressor also may be added, which second compressor may be powered by a source other than the mechanical energy of the vehicle's engine.

Stationary vehicle air conditioning system

The invention pertains to a stationary vehicle air conditioning system with a refrigerant circuit, in which a compressor circulates refrigerant through a refrigerant circuit including at least one condenser. The one compressor may be powered by the vehicle's mechanical power, by an electrical source, or by a combination of these driving forces. Depending on desired operating characteristics, a plurality of condensers may be arranged in a series or parallel configuration within the circuit, and a second compressor also may be added, which second compressor may be powered by a source other than the mechanical energy of the vehicle's engine. A plurality of fans may be positioned and selectively operable to provide cooling air streams to one or more of the condensers, with the vehicle engine mechanically driving one fan and an electrical power source driving another fan. At minimum, at least one fan is provided to provide a cooling air stream to one or more condensers, wherein the fan is a hybrid drive unit that is capable of being driven through mechanical or electrical means.

Stationary vehicle air conditioning system and method

The invention relates to an air-conditioner having a heat exchanger, such as an evaporator, for example, with a reservoir for a cold storage medium.

Air-conditioner for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a coolant circuit for a motor vehicle having an engine and a radiator. The coolant circuit includes an exhaust gas heat exchanger and enables engine coolant coming from the radiator to be supplied directly to the exhaust gas heat exchanger. In a preferred embodiment, coolant coming from the radiator and/or from the engine can be selectively supplied to the exhaust gas heat exchanger via a changeover device.

Foley and lardner

An air-conditioning system is designed at least for an air-conditioning mode for cooling a thermal control medium ( ) and a heat-pump mode for heating the thermal control medium. The system comprises a refrigerant circuit with a compressor ( ) and an evaporator ( ), a coolant circuit with a heat-generating unit ( ) to be cooled and a heater ( ) for heating the thermal control medium, and also a first refrigerant/coolant heat exchanger ( ) functioning on the refrigerant side as a condenser/gas cooler. The evaporator is formed by a second refrigerant/coolant heat exchanger ( ). A cooling body ( ) for cooling the thermal control medium is connected downstream of heat exchanger ( ) on the coolant side.

Air-conditioning system with air-conditioning and heat-pump mode

The invention relates to an air-conditioner for a motor vehicle having a refrigerant circuit through which a refrigerant flows. The circuit includes a heat exchanger ( ) through which the refrigerant circulates. A second internal refrigerant circuit exists in the heat exchanger ( ) and operates when the first refrigerant circuit is at a standstill.
