Abstract: A control device, and a method for operating the control device, optimizes cooling of a high-voltage accumulator using an air-conditioning system in a vehicle. A coolant flow which is insufficient is detected by an evaporator for the high-voltage accumulator and, as a result, heat losses inside a condenser of the air-conditioning system are reduced for increasing the flow of the coolant.

Abstract: A method is provided for charging an electric vehicle with an electric energy accumulator and for stationary mode air conditioning the vehicle interior by way of an electric air conditioning system. The electric energy accumulator is charged to a minimum state of charge. After the energy accumulator has reached the minimum state of charge, the interior is air conditioned in such a way that at an assumed departure time a preset air conditioning state of the interior is reached. The energy accumulator is charged to a target state of charge with any excess energy that is not required to reach the air conditioning state.

Abstract: A power supply device for a hybrid or electric motor vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle or a motorcycle, includes a plurality of electrochemical storage cells and/or double-layer capacitors. The electrochemical storage cells and/or double-layer capacitors have a casing surface and, in an axial direction, a base surface and a cover surface which are connected by the casing surface, and each include electrodes. Adjacent to the casing surface of at least one of the storage cells and/or double-layer capacitors, a heat-conducting cooling apparatus is disposed which, although electrically insulated from the at least one storage cell and/or double-layer capacitor, is in thermal contact with a first circumferential section of the casing surface and dissipates the heat energy introduced by the casing surfaces of the at least one storage cell and/or the double-layer capacitor.

Abstract: A power supply device for a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle, truck or motorcycle, comprises one or more storage cell modules, each of which includes one or more electrochemical storage cells and/or double layer capacitors that are arranged next to and/or on top of one another. The device includes a cooler block having a holder for the storage cell modules and a heat dissipating structure for dissipating heat emitted by the storage cell modules. The heat dissipating structure is provided on at least one side of the holder. The cooler block includes a clamping device operatively configured to generate a predefined force by which the heat dissipating structure can be pressed against a respective storage cell module.

Abstract: A voltage supply apparatus for a motor vehicle, especially a passenger car, truck or a motorcycle, includes a storage cell arrangement having one or more electrochemical storage cells and/or double layer capacitors that are mounted on top of each other. The storage cell arrangement is releasably connected in a form-fitting way to a heat-conducting cooling device that removes heat from the storage cells and/or double layer capacitors such that at least some of the storage cells and/or double layer capacitors of a respective storage cell group can each be thermally connected with the heat-conducting cooling device.

Abstract: A method is provided for conditioning a heat/cold storage device of a vehicle by electric energy, as well as a vehicle configured to perform the method. The heat/cold storage device may be provided for heating and/or cooling a vehicle component or a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The electric energy used for conditioning is generated partially or completely from the kinetic energy of the vehicle by a generator which is provided in the vehicle during braking actions or in the overrun mode of the vehicle.
