It is nevertheless understood that the whole of the following description extends to the various combinations of the embodiments and of the embodiments. variant embodiments as previously described.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a first example of the operation of the heat treatment system 1 according to the invention, in which the circuit 2 is configured to operate in air conditioning mode, that is to say that it is configured to cool the flow of interior air FA2, passing through the first heat exchanger 41, before the latter is sent into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
- air conditioning mode that is to say that it is configured to cool the flow of interior air FA2, passing through the first heat exchanger 41, before the latter is sent into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
- Such an operating mode can in particular be implemented during a phase of rolling of the vehicle.
- the circulation of the refrigerant fluid FR is limited to the main branch 3 and to the first branch 4.
- the second branch 5, the third branch 10, the secondary branch 7, the tertiary branch 8 and the quaternary branch 9 do not are not traversed by the refrigerant.
- the circulation of the refrigerant fluid in said branches 5, 10, 7, 8 and 9 is respectively hampered by the closing of the second control member 112, of the third control member 113, of the flow regulation means 74. , of the tertiary control member 114 and of the device 93 for regulating the flow of refrigerant fluid.
- the refrigerant fluid leaves the compression device 33 under high pressure, high temperature and in a predominantly gaseous state to the main heat exchanger 34 which functions as a condenser.
- the refrigerant having a temperature higher than that of the external air flow FAi passes through this first main heat exchanger 34 and transfers its calories to the external air flow FAi.
- the refrigerant thus cooled leaves the main heat exchanger 34 mainly in the liquid state and enters the tertiary heat exchanger 37.
- the tertiary heat exchanger 37 operates as a sub-cooler, that is to say that it ensures the cooling of the refrigerant fluid to a temperature at least below its condensation temperature by heat exchange with the air flow. outside FAi, colder.
- the refrigerant thus leaves the tertiary heat exchanger 37 at a temperature lower than that observed at the outlet of the main heat exchanger 34.
- the tertiary heat exchanger 37 is advantageously arranged upstream of the main heat exchanger 34 in the direction of circulation S2 of the external air flow FAi.
- the outside air flow FAi involved in the heat exchange at the level of the tertiary heat exchanger 37 has a temperature lower than that of the outside air flow FAi involved in the heat exchange at the level of the 'main heat exchanger 34, which has been preheated.
- the temperature pinch between the coolant and the outside air flow FAi specific to the main heat exchanger 34 is thus reduced compared to the temperature pinch observed at the tertiary heat exchanger 37.
- Such an arrangement contributes to increase the capacity of the heat treatment system 1, in particular by allowing, for the supply of the same cold power, a reduction in the speed of rotation of the compression device 33.

- the refrigerant fluid passes through the first heat exchanger 41 at low pressure and at low temperature. In doing so, the coolant captures calories from the warmer interior air flow FA2, which is thus cooled before being sent to the passenger compartment.
- the refrigerant thus leaves the first heat exchanger 41 in two-phase form and circulates along the first branch 4 as far as the accumulation device 42.
- the liquid phase and the gaseous phase of the refrigerant fluid are separated and refrigerant essentially gaseous passes the main point of convergence 31 in order to be returned to the main branch 3 and to the compression device 33.

- the heat transfer fluid is circulated by the circulation means 62, it captures calories from the electrical energy storage device 63 which it then transfers to the refrigerant fluid within the second exchanger. thermal 51.
- the coolant thus cooled is returned to the electrical energy storage device 63 while the thermal conditions imposed by the element 61 of the traction chain electrical allow overheating of the refrigerant fluid leaving the second heat exchanger 51 which is then in the gaseous state.
- This overheating corresponds to an increase in the temperature of the refrigerant fluid above its saturation temperature at the same pressure. It is in this superheated state that the refrigerant fluid reaches the main point of convergence 31 and is then returned directly to the compression device 33 without first passing through a bottle or the accumulation device 42.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a third mode of operation of the heat treatment system 1 in which the circuit 2 simultaneously implements the cooling of the passenger compartment, that is to say the air conditioning mode, and a heat treatment of the storage device 63 of electrical energy.
- This third operating mode is particularly suited to an operation of the electric energy storage device 63 generating a higher heating than that which can be observed during the usual operation of the vehicle, for example during a rapid charging of the storage device 63 d. 'electric energy.
- the present mode of operation is thus substantially identical to the second mode of operation, so reference may be made to the description given in relation to FIG. 7 which applies mutatis mutandis.
- the present mode of operation nevertheless differs from the previous one in that the third branch 10 is also supplied with coolant.
- the cooling of the passenger compartment is implemented by the first heat exchanger 41 when the heat treatment system 1 is produced according to the first embodiment.
- the cooling of the electrical storage device 63 is here carried out jointly by the second heat exchanger 51 and by the third heat exchanger 102 within which the refrigerant fluid collects calories from the heat transfer fluid circulating in the loop 6, so to meet the increased need for cooling the electrical energy storage device 63.
- the heat transfer fluid loop 6 can, for example, comprise at least the main pipe 600 on which are arranged the second heat exchanger 51, the circulation means 62 and the element 61 of the traction chain to be heat treated, here the storage device 63 of the electrical energy.
- the loop 6 may include at least a first pipe 610 which comprises the third heat exchanger 102 and is connected to the main pipe 600 of the loop 6 of heat transfer fluid.
- a first pipe 610 can be arranged so that the second heat exchanger 51 and the third heat exchanger 102 are arranged, as illustrated, in parallel with one another.
- the second heat exchanger 51 and the third heat exchanger 102 can be arranged in series with one another, on the same pipe of the heat transfer fluid loop 6.
- the first fraction of refrigerant and the second fraction of refrigerant are, as previously explained, respectively sent to the first branch 4 and to the second branch 5 while a third fraction of the refrigerant fluid is sent to the third branch 10, the at least partial opening of the third control member 113 of the circulation allowing the passage of the refrigerant fluid therein.
- the first fraction and third fraction of refrigerant are then sent to the accumulation device 42, while the second fraction of refrigerant, superheated, bypasses it.
- the main point of convergence 31 thus receives a mixture of superheated and non-superheated refrigerant fluid which is then returned to the compression device 33.
- the second heat exchanger 51 and / or the third heat exchanger 102 are operated according to the cooling demand of the element 61 of the electric traction chain.
- the cooling demand is low and the second heat exchanger 51, or the first heat exchanger 41 in the case of the second embodiment, can be used.
- the second heat exchanger 51, or the first heat exchanger 41, as well as the third heat exchanger 102 can jointly ensure the cooling of the storage device 63 of electrical energy.
- the second heat exchanger 51 ensures at least partial superheating of the refrigerant fluid at the inlet of the compression device 33, thus contributing to an improvement in the operating cycle.
- FIG. 9 represents a fourth mode of operation of the heat treatment system 1, in which the refrigerant fluid circuit 2 operates in passenger compartment heating mode.
- the refrigerant fluid is subjected to a high pressure and a high temperature in the compression device 33. It circulates along the main branch 3 up to the first point of divergence 71 at which, by virtue of the combination of the closing of the regulating element 35 of the flow of refrigerant included on the main branch 3 and the opening of the regulating means 74 included in the secondary branch 7, it is sent to the secondary branch 7.
- the high pressure and high temperature refrigerant then passes through the secondary heat exchanger 73, used as a condenser, in which it transfers calories to the interior air flow FA2, colder, passing through said secondary heat exchanger 73.
- the internal air flow FA2 thus heated is sent to the passenger compartment so as to ensure its heating while the refrigerant fluid, at least partially condensed, is sent to the first point of convergence 72.
- the heat treatment system 1 implements the first variant as explained with reference to FIG. 4, also the management member 38 for the circulation of the refrigerant fluid is arranged on the main branch 3.
- the management unit 38 thus operates an expansion of the refrigerant fluid, which passes from high pressure and high temperature to low pressure and low temperature, prior to its passage at the level of the main point of divergence 32 and therefore prior to its distribution to at least the first branch 4 and / or the second branch and / or the third branch 10 and / or the tertiary branch 8.
- the refrigerant only partially supplies the first branch 4 and does not supply not the second branch 5 or the third branch 10, its circulation being hampered by the closing of the first control organ reads, second control organ 112 and third control organ 113 respectively.
- the tertiary control member 114 is at least partially open so that the refrigerant fluid circulates in part on the first branch 4, between the main point of divergence 32 and the second point of divergence 81, then on the tertiary branch 8 up to at the second point of convergence 82 before being returned to the main branch 3.
- the coolant then enters the main heat exchanger 34, functioning as an evaporator, and the coolant captures calories from the warmer outdoor air stream FAi.
- the direction of flow Si of the refrigerant within the main heat exchanger 34 is reversed with respect to the direction of flow observed in the first three operating modes.
- the refrigerant fluid leaves the main heat exchanger 34 in the essentially gaseous state and passes the third point of divergence 91.
- the regulating device 93 of the flow rate of refrigerant fluid being at least partially open and the main check valve 36 being closed, the refrigerant circulates in the quaternary branch 9 to the third point of convergence 92 then joins the first branch 4 in order to be returned to the accumulation device 42 then to the compression device 33.
- the refrigerant thus bypasses the first heat exchanger 41, the second heat exchanger 51 and the third heat exchanger 102.
- FIG. 10 illustrates a fifth operating mode of the heat treatment system 1, for example implemented during the taxiing phase, in which the circuit 2 is simultaneously operated in the passenger compartment heating mode and in the cooling mode of the vehicle. element 61 of the electric traction chain.

- the second control member 112 of the circulation of the refrigerant fluid is open, so that, when the refrigerant passes the main point of divergence 32 at low pressure and at low temperature, a first fraction of the refrigerant fluid is sent to the tertiary branch 8 and the main heat exchanger 34 while a second fraction of refrigerant fluid is sent to the second branch 5 in order to supply the second heat exchanger 51.
- the second fraction of refrigerant fluid collects calories from the electrical energy storage device 63 via the heat transfer fluid circulating in the loop 6.
- the refrigerant fluid leaves the second heat exchanger 51 overheated and in the gaseous state, such overheating raising the temperature of the second refrigerant fraction above its saturation temperature at the same pressure.
- the second fraction of refrigerant, superheated, and the first fraction of refrigerant, coming from the main heat exchanger 34 mix before joining the compression device 33 with moderate overheating , such overheating contributing to raising the coefficient of performance of circuit 2.
- the temperature of the refrigerant fluid can be raised to values liable to reduce the performance of the heat treatment system 1 and a reduction in this temperature may be required.
- that can, as illustrated in FIG. 11, be configured in order to implement a method of adjusting a temperature of the fluid. refrigerant at the outlet of the compression device 33. It is understood that such a method can be applied to any one of the combinations of the embodiments, variants and alternatives described above.
- Such an adjustment method comprises in particular at least: a first step of estimating the temperature of the refrigerant fluid at the outlet of the compression device 33; a second step of comparing the estimated temperature of the refrigerant fluid (FR) with at least one threshold temperature value; a third step of regulating the heat exchange implemented in the second heat exchanger 51 and / or regulating the circulation of the refrigerant fluid in the second branch 5 implemented when the estimated temperature of the refrigerant fluid (FR) is higher or equal to the temperature threshold value.

- a coolant temperature threshold value could be of the order of H5 ° C.
- such data transmission is schematically represented by the thin dotted line 2000.
- the control unit 13 can then, as required, implement the third step of the adjustment method.
- this third step consists in regulating the heat exchange implemented in the second heat exchanger 51, that is to say in the heat exchanger operating as a superheater and bypassing the heat exchanger. accumulation device 42.
- the regulation of the heat exchange implemented within the second heat exchanger 51 aims in particular to increase the proportion of liquid phase of the refrigerant fluid leaving the second heat exchanger 51, for example in order to obtain a vapor content of the order of 0.80, so that, when the refrigerant fractions coming from the storage device 42 and from the second heat exchanger 51 mix at the level of the main point of convergence 31, the temperature of this mixture is lowered to values suitable for optimal operation of the heat treatment system 1, thus reducing the temperature of the refrigerant fluid measured downstream of the compression device 33.
