Abstract
A device for cooling a motor vehicle interior (2) has a first refrigerant loop with a compressor (8), condenser (10), and at least a first evaporator (13). The device furthermore has a second refrigerant loop with at least one more evaporator which is joined to an ice reservoir to form a structural unit (17, 19, 21) and which can be connected in parallel to the first evaporator (13) by at least one valve (15). To enable simple and comfortable static climate control, the structural unit (17, 19, 21) is located as a flat element in at least one wall (4, 3, 5) of the motor vehicle interior and can be brought into a direct heat-transfer connection to the air of the motor vehicle interior.
