  • Patent number: 12558941
    Abstract: A method for operating a temperature-control device having a compressor line flowing a total mass flow of refrigerant and having a refrigerant compressor by which the refrigerant is conveyed and compressed, a condenser line branches off from the compressor line and flowing a first partial mass flow of the refrigerant, and having a first expansion valve to set and expand the first partial mass flow, and a condenser to condense the first partial mass flow arranged in the condenser line upstream of the first expansion valve. The refrigerant circuit includes a bypass line which is connected parallel to the condenser line and which branches off from the compressor line and through which a second partial mass flow of the refrigerant thus flows.

  • Patent number: 12194815
    Abstract: An air-conditioning system for an electrically driveable motor vehicle includes a coolant-conducting HVA circuit to which a traction battery and an evaporator for cooling the traction battery are connected, a coolant-conducting heating circuit for controlling the temperature of an interior compartment of the motor vehicle, to which heating circuit a condenser for releasing thermal power is connected, a coolant-conducting refrigeration circuit, to which the evaporator, the condenser and a compressor are connected, a heat exchanger, which is connected to the HVA circuit and which is controllably connectable to the heating circuit and which is configured for coolant-based transfer of thermal power from the heating circuit into the HVA circuit, and a control device.

  • Publication number: 20240383314
    Abstract: A thermal management system for a motor vehicle, includes a cooling circuit in which a cooler, a cooling circuit pump, and a first heat source are connected in series; a battery branch, in which a chiller and a traction battery are connected in series; a first connection which is arranged downstream of the first heat source, at which coolant can be selectively introduced into the battery branch; a second connection, which leads from the battery branch to a point of the cooling circuit upstream of the first heat source, further comprising a condenser branch that runs between the second connection and the first connection, wherein the condenser branch has a liquid cooled condenser.

  • Publication number: 20230406072
    Abstract: A refrigeration circuit for a motor vehicle includes a refrigerant compressor, a condenser for exchanging heat with a cooling circuit, a chiller for exchanging heat with the cooling circuit, and an evaporator for temperature control of air in an air-conditioning device. The evaporator being in parallel with the chiller, and, in a main circuit, the refrigerant compressor, the condenser, and the parallel circuit of chiller and evaporator being connected in series. The circuit also includes a return line that branches off from the main circuit on a high-pressure side of the refrigerant compressor and leads into the main circuit on a low-pressure side of the refrigerant compressor, and a valve circuit to block and release flow through the return line.
