  • Patent number: 11890913
    Abstract: A vehicle is provided with a temperature-control system for controlling the temperature of an interior of the vehicle. The system has a temperature-control medium, preferably a liquid temperature-control medium, guided in a temperature-control circuit. The temperature-control system is operatively connectable or operatively connected to a source temperature-control system such that the temperature-control medium guided in the temperature-control circuit of the temperature-control system may be thermally influenced by the source temperature-control system. The temperature-control circuit also is operatively connectable or operatively connected to at least one interior temperature-control system such that the temperature of the interior of the vehicle may be modified by the temperature-control medium in the temperature-control circuit.

  • Publication number: 20230029297
    Abstract: A ventilation device for a cabin of a vehicle, the ventilation device includes a temperature-control circuit in which a fluid circulates for heat transfer; an ambient heat exchanger via which heat is exchanged between the temperature-control circuit and a cabin environment; a cabin heat exchanger via which heat is exchanged between the temperature-control circuit and an air flow provided for ventilating the cabin; one or more liquid channels connecting the ambient heat exchanger to the cabin heat exchanger; an air supply system for directing air to the cabin heat exchanger to supply the passengers in the cabin, and an air conveyor device for conveying supply air; and a distance between the air conveyor device and the passenger is greater than a distance between the cabin heat exchanger and the passenger.
