  • Patent number: 9827830
    Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigerant circuit (10) of a vehicle air-conditioning system (12), in particular for electric vehicles, comprising a compressor unit (14) which includes a first compressor (16) and a second compressor (18) arranged downstream for compressing a refrigerant (20), a condenser (22) for heating air (24) which can be supplied to a vehicle interior, a first pressure reducing unit (26) arranged downstream of the condenser (22) for decompressing the refrigerant (20) from the condenser (22), a heat exchanger (28) through which refrigerant flows for heat exchange with vehicle ambient air (30), an evaporator (32) for cooling air (24) which can be supplied to a vehicle interior, and a second pressure reducing unit (34) arranged upstream of the evaporator (32) for decompressing the refrigerant (20) from the heat exchanger (28), the second compressor (18), the condenser (22) and the first pressure reducing unit (26) being bypassed in a cooling mode of the vehicle air-conditioning system (12), and

  • Publication number: 20100191381
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air-conditioning system, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising an externally controlled compressor (10), a condenser (12), a throttle (18), an evaporator (20) and an internal heat exchanger (16), wherein the throttle (18) is an electronic expansion valve. The invention also relates to a method for operating an air-conditioning system, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising an externally controlled compressor (10), a condenser (12), a throttle (18), an evaporator (20) and an internal heat exchanger (16), wherein the throttle (18) is electronically controlled.
