- a refrigerant circuit also includes a condenser and a refrigerant pump for driving the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit.
- Heat can be delivered to a heat sink, in particular to the surroundings of the vehicle, via the condenser. Heat can be removed from the airflow via the evaporator. Both in the condenser and in the evaporator, a phase change in the refrigerant takes place in such a cooling process, as a result of which such a cooling circuit works particularly efficiently.
- a heating device may for example be designed as a heat exchanger and integrated into a cooling circuit of the vehicle, which is used for cooling components of the vehicle. Waste heat of these vehicle components can be used via the cooling circuit and the heat exchanger for heating the air flow.
- electrically operated heating devices so that the air flow can be heated even if no waste heat is generated in the cooling circuit. This is the case, for example, during a start-up phase or warm-up phase of the vehicle.
- Such a heating device can also be useful with regard to the air flow downstream of the evaporator.
- Fers of the refrigerant circuit may be arranged, whereby a reheating of the cooled with the aid of the evaporator air flow is possible, so-called "re-heat function.”
- re-heat function a reheating of the cooled with the aid of the evaporator air flow is possible.
- re-heat function can with the help of the refrigerant circuit of the air flow in the evaporator below the dew point This is used on the one hand to increase comfort and on the other hand can be used for the rapid removal of a window fitting.
- thermodynamic conditions for the functioning of the cycle running in the refrigeration circuit must first be created in the refrigeration cycle.
- the evaporator must therefore be cooled and the condenser heated by way of a corresponding circulation of the refrigerant.
- the entire thermal mass of the circuit must be derived from the equilibrium equilibrium. be moved.
- the refrigerant circuit has a certain thermal inertia. Only when the cooling circuit reaches a cooling operation phase with a functioning cyclic process after passing through the start-up phase, it can significantly dissipate heat from the air flow via the evaporator.
- thermoelectric heat exchanger which can be used for heating or for cooling a medium.
- the thermoelectric heat exchanger is equipped with thermoelectric elements that can convert an electric current into a heat flow.
- the thermoelectric elements use the so-called Peltier effect and can therefore also be called Peltier elements.
- the Peltier elements have two thermally active sides facing away from each other. Depending on the polarity of the DC current applied to the respective Peltier element, a heat flow takes place from one thermally active side to the other thermally active side or vice versa.
- thermoelectric elements depending on the polarity of the current applied to the thermoelectric elements, heating of a first medium and thus cooling of a second medium or vice versa can be effected with the aid of the known heat exchanger, wherein the first medium and the second medium are media-separated, but heat-transferring in the heat exchanger via the heat exchanger thermoelectric elements are coupled together.
