Abstract: A cold and/or heat accumulator with a plurality of carrier elements (10) which are charged with a cold or heat storage medium, and with a heat exchanger (12) which is designed to have a heat transfer medium flow through it in order to cause heat exchange between the cold or heat storage medium and the heat transfer medium. The heat exchanger (12) has at least one serpentine hollow section (14), and at least at least one carrier element (10) is provided between the legs of at least some of the loops of the serpentine hollow section. In a process for producing the cold and/or heat accumulator, the height of the carrier elements is coordinated to a distance between the legs of the at least one loop such that, after a force-fit connection is formed between the serpentine hollow section and the carrier elements.

Abstract: A climate control device for stationary control of the climate in a motor vehicle has a heat pump circuit with a first heat exchanger for taking up ambient heat and a second heat exchanger for discharging heat into the vehicle interior and an electrically or mechanically drivable compressor which is located in the flow direction of the heat pump circuit between the first and the second heat exchanger, and a booster set for producing electrical or mechanical power, the electrical or mechanical power being used at least in part to drive the compressor. In addition, there is a third heat exchanger by which the exhaust heat of the booster set is transferred to the heat pump circuit. In this way, good efficiency is ensured for the climate control device in heating operation in stationary operation.

Abstract: The turbine of the exhaust gas turbocharger, which is located in the exhaust gas channel of the internal combustion engine, has a variable geometry. The regulation of the boost pressure is performed via an adjustment of the turbine geometry. A very rapid response of the boost pressure regulation to a variable load, with an overshoot of the specified value, which would damage the turbocharger, being avoided, is achieved by determining a manipulated variable for the turbine geometry as a function of the exhaust gas back pressure prevailing in the exhaust gas channel upstream from the turbine.
