  • Publication number: 20250001828
    Abstract: A steering-wheel ventilation device for a vehicle includes a steering wheel, a ventilation device which is arranged behind the steering wheel and has a ventilation duct which has a first outlet for discharging an air flow directly towards a vehicle occupant sitting in front of the steering wheel and a second outlet for discharging a diffuse air flow. The ventilation duct is configured to discharge an air flow either via the first outlet and/or the second outlet.

  • Publication number: 20240383314
    Abstract: A thermal management system for a motor vehicle, includes a cooling circuit in which a cooler, a cooling circuit pump, and a first heat source are connected in series; a battery branch, in which a chiller and a traction battery are connected in series; a first connection which is arranged downstream of the first heat source, at which coolant can be selectively introduced into the battery branch; a second connection, which leads from the battery branch to a point of the cooling circuit upstream of the first heat source, further comprising a condenser branch that runs between the second connection and the first connection, wherein the condenser branch has a liquid cooled condenser.

  • Patent number: 11607925
    Abstract: A method for thermal management of a motor vehicle includes circulating of coolant, in a first operating state, at least in a motor cooling circuit through a series circuit that includes a motor circuit pump, an electric motor, and a low temperature (LT) radiator where the motor circuit pump is activated and where the coolant flows in a first direction through the LT radiator. The method further includes, time-shifted with respect to the first operating state, circulating of coolant, in a second operating state, at least in a chiller cooling circuit through a series circuit including a chiller, a chiller section pump, the motor circuit pump, and the LT radiator where the chiller section pump is activated, where the motor circuit pump is deactivated, where the coolant flows in a second direction through the LT radiator, and where the second direction is opposed to the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20220377946
    Abstract: An integration component for a temperature-control system of a motor vehicle, by which component a fluidic circuit is formed, has a finished part for conducting a coolant and at least one fluid element. The finished part has an outer housing; a cooling channel structure which is formed by a network of cavities within the outer housing and is intended for conducting the coolant; cooling channel connections for cooling channels of the cooling channel structure, which connections are formed in one piece with the outer housing and can be coupled to components of the temperature-control system; and at least one receiving portion for the at least one fluid element, wherein the at least one fluid element is located above the receiving portion in order to influence a flow of the coolant in at least one cooling channel of the cooling channel structure.
