| 20090019861 | AIR CONDITIONING UNIT FOR MOTOR VEHICLES AND METHOD FOR ITS OPERATION - An air conditioning unit is disclosed for motor vehicles. The air conditioning unit includes with a compression refrigerant circuit where a refrigerant circulates, comprising comprehensively switched in series with respect to fluid flow at least one compressor upstream of a heat-delivering heat exchanger, and an expansion element upstream of a heat-absorbing heat exchanger, whereby into the flow path leading from the outlet of the heat-delivering heat exchanger to the expansion element an additional heat exchanger is integrated thermally coupled to at least one cooling means the temperature of which can be put to values below the temperature of the refrigerant in the compression refrigeration circuit at the position of the refrigerant's outflow from the heat-delivering heat exchanger, and a method for its operation. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090044563 | REFRIGERANT ACCUMULATOR FOR MOTOR VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING UNITS - The invention relates to a refrigerant accumulator for a motor vehicle air conditioning unit with a collector chamber and a neighboring flow chamber wherein the region of the accumulated refrigerant oil, the collector chamber includes a valve, which is established such that at a pressure difference between the collector chamber and the flow chamber higher than the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column in the collector chamber refrigerant flows from the collector chamber over the valve into the flow chamber. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20100147488 | HEAT EXCHANGER FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF VEHICLE BATTERIES - The invention relates to a heat exchanger for temperature controlling and fastening of battery units of the battery of a vehicle. The heat exchanger includes flat tubes that are passable by a heat carrier and a collecting tube and distributing tube for conducting the heat carrier. The flat tubes are established as multi-channel flat tubes. The collecting tube and the distributing tube are connected to each other over the flat tubes so that a holding frame is established that provides a structure forming spaces. The spaces are provided as chambers for accommodating the battery units. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110003187 | Battery Unit For Hybrid Or Electric Vehicles - A battery unit for hybrid or electric vehicles comprising a cell module including a plurality of storage cells, each accommodated in a prismatic cell casing with two large surfaces arranged parallel to each other and four narrow side surfaces. The prismatic cell casings with their parallel arranged large surfaces are stacked adjacent to each other. One of the narrow side surfaces, the cell casing bottom of each storage cell. A cooling device comprising a plate-shaped cooling body with one or several recesses, and one or several fastening mechanisms integrated into the cell module bottom that agree with a corresponding number of recesses of the cooling body, are configured to couple the cooling body to the cell module. | 01-06-2011 |
