  • Method and air-conditioning system for air-conditioning an electric or hybrid vehicle
    Patent number: 10414240
    Abstract: A method for air conditioning an electric or hybrid vehicle includes preconditioning a high voltage accumulator of the electric or hybrid vehicle. The electric or hybrid vehicle has an interior and the high voltage accumulator is air conditioned with an air-conditioning unit having a determined cooling potential. The high voltage accumulator has a current HVS temperature. The interior has a current interior temperature. During the preconditioning, the high voltage accumulator is supercooled in a preconditioning mode with the air-conditioning unit to an HVS temperature that is below an HVS operating temperature.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 17, 2019
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Marc-Thomas Eisele, Christian Kulp, Nicolas Flahaut, Karsten Berg, Martin Knott
  • Method and control device for optimizing cooling of a high voltage accumulator by means of an air-conditioning system
    Patent number: 10126027
    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.
