Abstract
A cooling system of a vehicle, including a coolant circuit, which can be operated as a cooling circuit for an AC operation and as a heat pump circuit for a heating operation, an evaporator, a coolant compressor, a heat exchanger in the form of a coolant condenser or gas cooler for the coolant circuit or in the form of a heat pump evaporator for the heat pump circuit, a first expansion element which is paired with the evaporator, a second expansion element, the heat pump evaporator function of which is paired with the heat exchanger, and an inner heat exchanger with a high-pressure section and a low-pressure section. The low-pressure section is fluidically connected to the downstream coolant compressor. The high-pressure section of the inner heat exchanger is arranged in a coolant circuit section which connects the second expansion element to the heat exchanger.
