Abstract: The invention relates to a thermal-management system for a vehicle comprising: at least one calories storage and/or frigories storage (S1, S2), at least one element of the vehicle to be heated or cooled, at least one source of calories or frigories, detection means adapted to detect whether calories or frigories are available at one of the said sources, control means able to distribute the calories or frigories available at the sources to the elements to be heated or cooled, according to transient and nominal needs. characterized in that it comprises prediction means capable of making at least one prediction aimed at determining: whether calories or frigories will be available at a later date from any of the said sources and/or, whether a need for calories or frigories will exist at a later date at one of the said elements to be heated or cooled.

Abstract: The invention concerns an installation for the thermal conditioning of a passenger compartment and/or at least one component of a motor vehicle, comprising a first circuit (1) for circulating a heat transfer fluid, a second circuit (2) for circulating a refrigerant fluid, capable of forming a heat pump type circuit, the heat transfer fluid circuit comprising heating and/or cooling means (M1, M2, M3) for at least one component of a motor vehicle, means (S1, S2) for storing calories and/or frigories, a first exchanger (E1) forming an evaporator and capable of exchanging heat with the refrigerant circuit, and means for circulating the heat transfer fluid capable of drawing the frigories and/or calories from the storage means (S1, S2) or the first exchanger (E1), so as to transfer them to the heating and/or cooling means (M1, M2, M3).
