  • Patent number: 10836258
    Abstract: A control device controls a preconditioning of at least one energy consumer in a motor vehicle and an energy store incorporated in the motor vehicle. The control device is designed to control the energy take-up of the energy consumer and the energy take-up of a charging device incorporated in the motor vehicle such that a difference is generated between the energy take-up of the energy consumer and the energy take-up of the charging device, which is compensated by an energy take-up of the energy store or by a release of energy from the energy store, with the result that the energy store is warmed by the power loss associated with the energy take-up or with the release of energy from the energy store.

  • Publication number: 20130152421
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for performing heat treatments comprising at least one treatment module (10), which has a first and a second heating section (11a, 11b). Hot air (L) is introduced into the heating sections (11a, 11b) via a line connection (13). After the treatment, the hot air (L) is discharged via suction means (14). The suction means are arranged at the end faces of the heating sections (11a, 11b).
