  • Method for controlling evaporation temperature in an air conditioning system
    Patent number: 7251946
    Abstract: A method for controlling evaporation temperature in an air conditioning system, especially an air conditioning system in a motor vehicle, comprising a latent cold accumulator which can be cooled by an evaporator (1). The evaporation temperature of a coolant is adjusted inside the evaporator (1) according to requirement to a value lying between a minimum temperature (T_min) and a maximum temperature (T_max) lying below the phase transition temperature of the latent medium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 1, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 7, 2007

  • Coolant evaporator
    Patent number: 7143604
    Abstract: A coolant evaporator (1) has a heat transmission surface (3) provided for the transmission of heat from air to a coolant and a number of flow duct segments (2) provided for receiving the coolant. A storage capsule (6a, 6b) provided for filling with a heat storage medium is arranged between adjacent flow duct segments (2). The coolant evaporator (1) is especially suitable for a motor vehicle with an idle-stop function.

  • Air-conditioner for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 6568205
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air-conditioner for a motor vehicle having a refrigerant circuit through which a refrigerant flows. The circuit includes a heat exchanger (1) through which the refrigerant circulates. A second internal refrigerant circuit exists in the heat exchanger (1) and operates when the first refrigerant circuit is at a standstill.
