Abstract: A sensor array, particularly for vehicle air conditioners, having a housing, in which an electronic unit, a first sensor element connected with the electronic unit for measuring a first physical parameter, and a second sensor element connected with the electronic unit for measuring a second physical parameter, are arranged. The electronic unit has an electric signal output and an analyzing module which, as a function of momentary measuring values of the physical parameters, according to a defined selection logic, determines which of the measured physical parameters is to be considered to be the momentarily relevant parameter, and which switches a sensor signal formed on the basis of the momentarily relevant parameter to the signal output.

Abstract: An air-conditioning system with an air-conditioning compressor, an electric motor and a refrigerant circuit, in particular for motor vehicles, the electric motor being controllable by an electronic control device and an expansion member arranged in the refrigerant circuit, a further expansion member is arranged between the high-pressure side of the expansion member and the suction side of the air-conditioning compressor in the refrigerant circuit, and the electronic control device is connected thermally conductively to the low-pressure side of the further expansion member. The further expansion member is controllable as a function of the temperature of the electronic control device.

Abstract: In a high-energy battery with a plurality of individual cells, the individual cells have the shape of flat parallelepipeds. The parallelepipeds are arranged flush to form a flat battery body. The battery body is surrounded on its two wide sides by a liquid heat exchange medium.

Abstract: An air dehumidifier or drier, particularly for a motor vehicle, has an air guiding housing defining three parallel air flow paths, which are defined by a common main air chamber separating two laterally spaced apart secondary air chambers. A reactor containing an adsorbent is positioned between the secondary air chambers, the common main air chamber being defined between the reactors. Air-flow control elements are positioned in each of the main and secondary air chambers. The control elements are pivotal between two operating positions. In each position, one of the reactors is in adsorption operation (dehumidify air) while the other reactor is in desorption operation (reactor being dried or recharged). The desorption air directed to the reactor being dried is heated by a heat exchanger, which has an air passageway for exhausting the air used for drying the reactor. Thus, the desorption air directed to the reactor being dried is preheated using the energy from the exhausting air.
