  • Publication number: 20100251749
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air conditioning unit (1), in particular for a stand-alone operation in a motor vehicle, comprising a compressor, condenser (3) and evaporator (2) that are situated in a coolant circuit, for cooling the air to be conditioned. According to the invention, the unit is equipped with a single fan (5) for the air that dissipates the heat and for the cooled air that is to be fed to the interior of the vehicle, said fan transporting part of the air through the condenser (3) and the other part through the evaporator (2).

  • Patent number: 7350368
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a stationary vehicle air conditioning system with a refrigerant circuit, in which at least one compressor circulates the refrigerant to at least two condensers. The at least one compressor may be powered by the vehicle's mechanical power, by an electrical source, or by a combination of these driving forces. Depending on desired operating characteristics, the condensers may be arranged in a series or parallel configuration. A second compressor also may be added, which second compressor may be powered by a source other than the mechanical energy of the vehicle's engine.

  • Patent number: 7290400
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a stationary vehicle air conditioning system with a refrigerant circuit, in which a compressor circulates refrigerant through a refrigerant circuit including at least one condenser. The one compressor may be powered by the vehicle's mechanical power, by an electrical source, or by a combination of these driving forces. Depending on desired operating characteristics, a plurality of condensers may be arranged in a series or parallel configuration within the circuit, and a second compressor also may be added, which second compressor may be powered by a source other than the mechanical energy of the vehicle's engine. A plurality of fans may be positioned and selectively operable to provide cooling air streams to one or more of the condensers, with the vehicle engine mechanically driving one fan and an electrical power source driving another fan.

  • Publication number: 20070113572
    Abstract: Air conditioning unit (1) suitable for stand-alone operation in a motor vehicle includes a refrigerant circuit (2) that has a compressor (3), a condenser (4) and an evaporator for cooling air which is to be conditioned, as well as at least one evaporator blower and a condenser fan (5) which can be driven by a motor (8). The motor (8) for the compressor (3) is arranged in an air duct (11), so that the motor (8) is actively ventilated with air in the air duct (11).
