Abstract
The invention relates to an air-conditioning installation, in particular for motor vehicles, having a compression refrigeration circuit of a refrigerant for A/C operation with a high-pressure region, a suction region and a connected stationary air-conditioning circuit, in particular for stationary air-conditioning operation when the compression refrigeration circuit is switched off, having a compressor, an expansion valve, an evaporator as cooler for releasing refrigeration to the environment, and a thermal accumulator comprising a heat storage medium. The thermal accumulator serves as a refrigeration accumulator and as a condenser during stationary air-conditioning operation. The refrigerant which is present serves as heat transfer medium for transferring the refrigeration from the thermal accumulator to the evaporator in the stationary air-conditioning circuit. The evaporator and the thermal accumulator are connected in series in terms of the flow of refrigerant.
