Abstract: A heat pump circuit has the following components when seen in the flow direction: a compressor; a condenser or gas cooler; a first coolant/air heat exchanger as a sub-cooler, via which the coolant dispenses heat; a first expansion element; a first coolant/air heat exchanger, via which the coolant absorbs heat from the ambient air; a second expansion element; and a third coolant/air heat exchanger, via which the coolant absorbs heat from the ambient air. The arrangement of the heat exchanger is in front of the drive engine relative to the travel direction. The danger of the ambient heat exchanger freezing is minimized. With this arrangement.

Abstract: An air conditioning compressor for air conditioning systems in motor vehicles, wherein the air conditioning compressor at the high pressure output comprises a check valve and a pressure control device, for example a pressure control valve or a bursting disk.

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.
