Process for cooling the drive components as well as heating the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle in particular an electric vehicle and device for performing said process

Abstract

Abstract 2.1. Vehicles with drive systems other than the otherwise customary internal combustion engine require heating systems which utilise the heat energy, arising in the, for example, electrical drive assemblies, for fresh-air heating. At the same time - irrespective of the heating requirement - the cooling of the drive components is to be ensured. As a function of the travel cycle and other influences, the heat energy arising in the drive components is subject to considerable fluctuations. 2.2. In the cooling circuit (16) for the components (17) to be cooled, a heat exchanger (19) is inserted in which the temperature changes which occur are compensated and a more uniform heat energy is output. 2.3. Vehicles with electric drive, hybrid drive and the like. <IMAGE>
