SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE FOR HEATING AND/OR COOLING A BATTERY AND A VEHICLE INTERIOR
First Claim
1. A system for a motor vehicle for heating and/or cooling a battery and a vehicle interior, the system comprising:
- a coolant circuit, which is thermally coupled to the battery;
a refrigeration circuit having a condenser, a compressor, a first evaporator for cooling the vehicle interior, and a second evaporator for cooling the battery, the second evaporator having an evaporator-heat exchanger that is thermally coupled to the coolant circuit;
an ambient air heat exchanger thermally coupled to the coolant circuit for transferring waste heat of the battery to the ambient air;
at least one device for transferring heat from the evaporator-heat exchanger to the ambient air and/or the vehicle interior in order to transfer the waste heat of the battery to the ambient air and/or to the vehicle interior when the refrigeration circuit is turned off, and/or at least one device for transferring heat from the ambient air heat exchanger to the ambient air and/or to the vehicle interior in order to transfer the waste heat of the battery to the ambient air and/or the vehicle interior when the refrigeration circuit is turned off.

Abstract
In a system for a motor vehicle for heating and/or cooling a battery and a motor-vehicle interior, comprising a coolant circuit which is coupled thermally to the battery, a refrigerating circuit with a condenser, a compressor, a first evaporator for cooling the motor-vehicle interior and a second evaporator for cooling the battery. The second evaporator is thermally coupled to the coolant circuit via an evaporator heat exchanger and a surrounding-air heat exchanger is coupled thermally to the coolant circuit for the transmission of waste heat of the battery to the surrounding air. The waste heat of the battery is used to heat the motor-vehicle interior. The evaporator heat exchanger is provided with at least one device for transmitting heat from the evaporator heat exchanger to the surrounding air and/or the motor-vehicle interior, for transmitting waste heat of the battery to the surrounding air and/or the motor-vehicle interior.

10. A method for cooling and/or heating a battery of a motor vehicle and/or a vehicle interior, the motor vehicle having a refrigeration circuit having a condenser, a compressor, a first evaporator, and a second evaporator and a coolant circuit that is thermally coupled to the battery, the method comprising:
-
transferring heat from the battery to cool the battery via the coolant circuit to the second evaporator via an evaporator-heat exchanger; cooling air to cool the vehicle interior at the first evaporator; taking heat away from the coolant circuit to the ambient air for cooling the battery via an ambient air heat exchanger; and heating air at the evaporator-heat exchanger when the refrigeration circuit is turned off and the heated air is supplied to the vehicle interior and/or the ambient air and air is heated at the ambient air heat exchanger when a refrigeration circuit is turned off and the heated air is supplied to the vehicle interior and/or the ambient air. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
