  • Publication number: 20240034125
    Abstract: A method for controlling a refrigeration system of a vehicle includes a circuit containing a refrigerant, a compressor, and first and second evaporators which are connected in parallel to the compressor, and a first expansion valve arranged upstream the first evaporator that regulates a pressure drop of the refrigerant before the first evaporator, and a second expansion valve arranged upstream the second evaporator that regulates a pressure drop of the refrigerant before the second evaporator, and a condenser arranged downstream the compressor between the compressor and the first and second expansion valves. The method includes controlling a total opening of the first expansion valve and the second expansion valve, based on a temperature and a pressure of the refrigerant which refrigerant temperature and refrigerant pressure are measured downstream the first and second evaporators at a position between the first and second evaporators and the compressor.

  • Publication number: 20220373221
    Abstract: A door unit for an air conditioning system includes a stationary inner screen part, an outer casing part rotatable between different operational positions in relation to the inner screen part, and a flap member attached to the outer casing part. The outer casing part includes first and second inlet openings. The door unit directs a first flow of air in a first air flow channel and a second flow of air in a second air flow channel to a third air flow channel or to the third air flow channel and a fourth air flow channel. The flap member blocks the first air flow channel or the second air flow channel, wherein an internal volume of the door unit enclosed by the inner screen part and the outer casing part forms the fourth air flow channel.

  • Patent number: 11384968
    Abstract: A method for controlling a heat pump system. The heat pump system includes a compressor for compressing a working fluid of the heat pump system and an electric motor for providing an output torque for driving the compressor. The method includes the steps of recovering heat emitted from the electric motor by heating the working fluid, providing a first control mode and a second control mode for the electric motor, and controlling the electrical motor in a way creating higher heat losses of the electric motor for a given output torque of the electric motor in the second control mode than in the first control mode.
