  • Patent number: 10093146
    Abstract: An air-conditioning system for a vehicle, comprising a refrigerant circuit through which a refrigerant can flow and which is configured as a heat pump circuit and as a cooling system circuit, and associated with these, a compressor, at least one external heat exchanger, at least one internal heat exchanger that is associated with an internal heating condenser, whereby a device is provided for generating an air stream that can be thermally coupled to the internal heat exchanger and to the internal heating condenser, as well as a metering device that can meter the flow of at least a partial stream of the thermally coupled air stream through the internal heating condenser is provided, wherein in the heat pump mode of operation, the refrigerant can be or is conveyed from the high-pressure side of the compressor into the internal heating condenser, can be or is conveyed from the internal heating condenser via a first expansion valve to the internal heat exchanger, can be or is conveyed from the internal heat ex

  • Publication number: 20140158322
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air conditioning system for controlling the temperature of components and of the interior of a motor vehicle, comprising a first water pump (C.3) that drives a first coolant circuit (100), a second water pump (C.4) that drives a second coolant circuit (200), a compressor (A.1) that drives a refrigerant circuit (300) that has a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side, an air-water heat exchanger (C.5) connected to the first coolant circuit (100) on the water side and arranged upstream from the interior on the air side, a first refrigerant-coolant heat exchanger (A.2) connected to the refrigerant circuit (300) on the refrigerant side and arranged upstream from the air-water heat exchanger (C.5) on the water side, and a second refrigerant-coolant heat exchanger (A.10) connected to the refrigerant circuit (300) on the refrigerant side and located downstream from the potential heat sources on the water side.
