Abstract: The invention relates to a disk brake, especially for a motor vehicle, comprising a rotatably mounted brake disk and at least one brake lining that is disposed in a caliper and is mounted so as to be laterally movable towards the brake disk. In order to reduce heating of the brake disk during braking, a cooling member is provided which is made of a heat-conducting material and encompasses at least one fastening element. The fastening element allows the cooling member to be arranged in a position in which the heat-receiving face thereof is located on one side of the brake disk while the area of the cooling member, which is located away from the heat-receiving face, is connected to a cooler.

Abstract: An automotive air conditioning apparatus including means for heating the refrigerant prior to its entry into the compressor during the idle phases thereof when the air conditioner is operating, thereby to lower the specific volume of the refrigerant initially to reduce the degree of filling of the compressor when it is subsequently engaged, for reducing the jolt which would otherwise be noticable at the moment the compressor is engaged.
