Abstract: A method and a device for use in the air conditioning of an interior of a motor vehicle equipped with an air conditioning system. In particular, the condensation water, produced when operating the air conditioning system while driving, is collected when the vehicle is standing still, and the intake air supplied to the interior or the outgoing air removed from the interior is humidified with the collected water so that the vehicle is cooled by evaporative cooling when it is standing still. While driving, the outside air intake may be pre-cooled by the cooled outgoing air by using a heat exchanger.

Abstract: In a method and device for selective catalytic NOx reduction in oxygen-containing exhaust gases using ammonia and a reduction catalyst, gaseous ammonia is made available by heating a solid storage medium in a container. The method and device are suitable for use in motor vehicles in particular.
