PCT/EP2005/003973 Webasto AG Heating and air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle The invention relates to a heating and air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle, in particular a utility vehi¬cle, in order to heat and cool the inside of a motor vehi¬cle during a running-state and a stop-state of the motor vehicle, wherein the inside of the motor vehicle is divided into a front region and a rear region, which can be heated and cooled separately. The heating and air-conditioning system comprises a front system for heating and cooling the front region during the running-state of the motor vehicle, a rear system for heating and cooling the rear region dur¬ing the running-state of the motor vehicle and a stop-state system which is used to heat and cool at least the rear re¬gion when the motor vehicle is in the stop-state. The invention further relates to a method for heating and air-conditioning a motor vehicle. Further the invention relates to a motor vehicle having a heating and air-conditioning system. In utility vehicles, in particular in tractors of trucks, specific requirements are set upon heating and cooling, that is generally speaking the air-conditioning of the in¬side of the vehicle. The inside of the vehicle is generally divided into a front region and a rear region, wherein the front region includes driver and co-driver seats, which are occupied during the running-state of the vehicle, and wherein the rear region comprises a sleeper-cab which is used when the vehicle is in the stop-state. In order to provide the driver during rest, which he spends within the sleeper-cab, with a comfortable climate it is helpful to be able to heat and cool the rear region respectively, when the vehicle is in the stop-state. For this purpose concepts of the state of the art propose to combine the front system with the rear system, and in particular to drive the common compressor of the air-conditioning system also when the vehicle is in the stop-state, in order to cool the rear region of the vehicle. A disadvantage of this concept is the high fuel consumption, the abrasion of the motor when the vehicle is in the stop-state as well as the additional emissions such as pollut¬ants and noise due to the operation of the engine. These disadvantages had been faced partially by allowing the operation of the front system and the rear system ex¬clusively during the running-state of the vehicle and by providing an additional autarkic stop-state air-conditioning system. The stop-state system operates for ex¬ample with an electrically or mechanically driveable com¬pressor which is supplied with power by an auxiliary motor or an auxiliary battery. Even if this concept lowers the fuel consumption, causes a decreased abrasion and results in less emissions, it has the drawback that due to the au¬tarkic stop-state air-conditioning system an extensive com¬plexity is required. Within the scope of the present disclosure, operating states of the motor vehicle are indicated by the terms "running-state" and "stop-state". In this context it is to be kept in mind that "running-state" indicates operating states which due not necessarily require the vehicle to be on a journey or to be moved. It is rather sufficient that the power supplying aggregate, that is generally the engine of the vehicle, is running. The invention is based on the object to provide a heating and air-conditioning system which comprises a very rational arrangement. This object is solved with the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims. The invention is established beyond the generic heating and air-conditioning system in that the stop-state system is integrated into the rear system. Thus, the overall arrange¬ment of the system is more rational since the stop-state system and the rear system may comprise common components. In particular it is intended that the stop-state system comprises a cooling heat exchanger and a cold accumulator, and in that the cooling heat exchanger, a heating heat ex¬changer of the rear system and an evaporator of the rear system are supplied with an air flow by the same blower. The cold accumulator of the stop-state system is charged by an evaporation process in the region of the cold accumula¬tor during the running-state of the motor vehicle. The in¬tegration of the stop-state system into the rear system is realisable in this case by supplying a cooling heat ex¬changer which is communicating with the cold accumulator with air by the same blower as the evaporator and the heat¬ing heat exchanger of the rear system. In this solution it is further especially beneficial that the cooling heat exchanger of the stop-state system and the cold accumulator of the stop-state system are arranged in a heat carrier circuit, through which a heat carrier is con¬veyed by a pump. The heat carrier medium can thus withdraw cold stored in the cold accumulator and transport the cool heat carrier medium to the cooling heat exchanger through power of an electrically driven pump. There, air coming from the blower acts upon the cool heat carrier medium, which is then enabled to stream as cooled air into the rear region of the vehicle. Further it is especially beneficial that an evaporator of the front system, an evaporator of the rear system and a cold accumulator of the stop-state system communicate with the same condenser and that a compressor is provided for the entire heating and air-conditioning system. It is thus sufficient to provide a single condenser and a single com¬pressor for operating the entire system. The cooling agent which is liquidized within the condenser can reach the evaporator of the front system, the evaporator of the rear system as well as the cold accumulator of the stop-state system in a valve controlled manner. From these components the cooling agent is returned to the unique compressor of said system. However, it is also possible that an evaporator of the front system and an evaporator of the rear system communi¬cate with the same condenser and that the stop-state system comprises an own condenser and an own compressor. By doing so, the adaptive complexity compared to the embodiment hav¬ing only a single compressor and only a single condenser is increased, however it exists a benefit in flexibility when integrating the stop-state air-conditioning system. By equipping the stop-state air-conditioning system with a separate condenser and a separate compressor, it is possi¬ble to fill the stop-state air-conditioning system sepa¬rately with cooling agent and add it to the entire system. Further it can be provided that an evaporator of the rear system and a cold accumulator of the stop-state system com¬municate with the same condenser and that the front system comprises an own condenser and an own compressor. By doing so, the front system is decoupled from the combined rear stop-state air-conditioning system. The load of the front system is thus reduced, no long cooling agent conduits are necessary between the front region and the rear region, and the rear stop-state air-conditioning system can be inte¬grated in a flexible manner without considering the front system. The compressor of the combined rear stop-state sys¬tem can be driven mechanically or electrically. In the stop-state of the motor vehicle generally no operation of the compressor is required, since the cold accumulator pro¬vides the necessary cold for the stop-state air-conditioning . However, it may be beneficial that the rear system and the stop-state system comprise a common compressor which is op¬erable in the stop-state. In this embodiment a cold accumu¬lator is dispensable. In the stop-state, the compressor is operable mechanically or electrically. The power required for this can be withdrawn for example from a sufficiently charged auxiliary battery or a fuel cell. The invention is moreover beneficially further developed in that the stop-state system comprises a cold accumulator and in that the stop-state system and the rear system comprise a common cooling heat exchanger which is communicating with the cold accumulator via a pump. By this means a separate evaporator for the running-state air-conditioning assigned to the rear system is dispensable. Rather an air-conditioning of the rear region is conducted during the running-state by interposition of the cold accumulator. Further it may be provided that the stop-state system and the rear system comprise a common accumulator-evaporator- heat-exchanger-unit. The cold accumulator thus serves for storing cold, as a heat exchanger supplied with air from the blower during the stop-state and as a heat exchanger supplied with air from the blower during the running-state. The invention further relates to a method for heating and air-conditioning of a motor vehicle with the heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention, and a motor vehicle with the heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. By this means the advantages and special features of the heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention are implemented also within the scope of a method and a motor vehicle. The invention is based on the conclusion that due to the integration of the stop-state system into the rear system additional possibilities for rationalization with regard to the overall system can be accomplished. Further this inte¬gration provides the prerequisite for lowering the power consumption and emissions as well as for reducing the abra¬sion of involved components compared to systems of the state of the art. The invention is now explained exemplary referring to the accompanying drawings by means of preferred embodiments, In the drawings are illustrating: Figure 1 a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 2 two explanatory illustrations of possible geomet ric arrangements of components of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 3 a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 4 a schematic diagram of a third embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 5 a schematic diagram of a fourth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 6 a schematic diagram of a fifth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 7 a schematic diagram of a sixth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 8 a schematic diagram of a seventh embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 9 a schematic diagram of an eight embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 10 a schematic diagram of a ninth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; Figure 11 a schematic diagram of a tenth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention; In the following detailed description of the preferred em¬bodiment of the present invention, identical reference nu¬merals (modulo 100) identify identical or similar compo¬nents . Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the pre¬sent invention. Figure 2 shows two explanatory illustra¬tions of possible geometric arrangements of components of the heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. The heating and air-conditioning system 10 comprises a front system 12, a rear system 14 and a stop-state system 16, wherein the mentioned systems are combined with each other. This shows in particular in that a common compressor 3 6, a common condenser 34 and a common accumulator 4 2 communicate with the evaporator 32 of the front system 12, the evaporator 24 of the rear system 14 and the cold accumulator 20 of the stop-state system 16, and in that an air flow of the same blower 2 6 acts upon the heating heat exchanger 22 of the rear system 14, the cool- ing heat exchanger 18 of the stop-state system 16 and the evaporator 2 4 of the rear system 14 which acts as a cooling heat exchanger of the rear system 14, as shown in Figure 2. Besides the already mentioned components, the heating and air-conditioning system 10 comprises, a heating heat ex¬changer 4 4 for the front system 12, which can be supplied with cooling water 47, an expansion element 46 assigned to an evaporator 32 of the front system 12, an expansion ele¬ment 4 8 assigned to the evaporator 2 4 of the rear system 14 and an expansion element 50 assigned to a cold accumulator 20. Besides the already mentioned blower 26, an additional blower 52 is provided which is able to supply an air flow to the evaporator 32 of the front system 12 and the heating heat exchanger 4 4 of the front system 12. Further, a blower 54 is provided for supplying the condenser 34 with an air flow. Moreover, electrically operable magnetic valves 56, 58, 60 are provided. In an opened state of the magnetic valves 56, the evaporator 32 of the front system 12 is sup¬plied with cooling agent, whereas this is prohibited in a closed state of the magnetic valve 56. In an opened state of the magnetic valve 58, the evaporator 24 of the rear system 14 is supplied with cooling agent, whereas this is prohibited in a closed state of the magnetic valve 58. In an opened state of the magnetic valve 60, the cold accumu¬lator 20 is supplied with cooling agent, whereas this is prohibited in a closed state of the magnetic valve 60. Fur¬ther, a check valve 62 is provided which prevents reverse flow of cooling agent in the direction towards the cold ac¬cumulator 2 0. The cold accumulator 2 0 and the cooling heat exchanger 18 are connected with each other via a heat car¬rier circuit 28, wherein a pump 30 for conveying a heat carrier medium through the components is provided. Further, a water heater 64 is provided which is able to heat cooling water 66 streaming into the heating heat exchanger 2 2 of the rear system 14, in order to enable a stop-state heating operation. In the running-state the compressor 36 is driven by the en¬gine of the motor vehicle such that the condenser 34 is supplied with compressed cooling agent. This is then sup¬plied to the evaporator 32, 24 of the front system 12 and the rear system 14 and to the cold accumulator 20 via the accumulator 42 dependent on the state of the magnetic valves 56, 58, 60. In particular the cold accumulator 20 can be charged in this manner with the magnetic valve 60 being opened. In the stop-state of the vehicle, that is when the engine is in rest, the cooling energy can then be withdrawn from the cold accumulator 2 0 by operating the pump 30. This cooling energy can be fed to the rear region of the vehicle in form of a cooled air flow via the cooling heat exchanger 18 through an air flow 26 acting upon the same (see Figure 2). Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. In this embodiment of the heating and air-conditioning system 10 according to the present inven¬tion, the front system 12 and the rear system 14 are de¬signed in a comparable manner, in particular regarding the operation in the running-state, as the heating and air-conditioning system 10 according to Figure 1. Merely no valves are provided for enabling a selective operation of the front system 12 and the rear system 14 during the run- ning-state. Of course, this is possible by arranging mag¬netic valves prior to the expansion elements 34 6 and 34 8. The stop-state system 16 is integrated in a different man¬ner into the heating and air-conditioning system 10 as de¬scribed in connection with Figure 1. The stop-state system comprises an additional compressor 34 0, wherein this one is preferably electrically drivable, for example by electric power directly from the generator, from a battery, prefera¬bly an auxiliary battery, or by electric power of a fuel cell. Compressed cooling agent is fed to an additional con¬denser 338 which is cooled by an additional blower 37 0. The compressed cooling agent is then fed to the cold accumula¬tor 320 via an additional accumulator 34 8 and an expansion element 350. The thus conducted charging process of the cold accumulator 320 is preferably conducted during the running-state of the vehicle, because then sufficient power for operating the compressor 34 0 is available. However it is also possible to conduct a charging process in the stop-state of the vehicle, if a sufficient amount of electric power is available. The discharging of the cold accumulator 320 is then effected as in the embodiment according to Fig¬ure 1. In the present embodiment according to Figure 3, the inte¬gration of the stop-state system 16 into the rear system 14 is also characterized in particular in that an air flow from a common blower 32 6 acts upon the components of the heating heat exchanger 322 of the rear system 14, the cool¬ing heat exchanger 318 of the stop-state system 16 and the evaporator 32 4 of the rear system 14, as illustrated in connection with Figure 2. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of a third embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the pre¬sent invention. In this illustrated embodiment of the heat¬ing and air-conditioning system 10, a compressor 436 and a condenser 434 are provided for the operation of the front system 12, and a compressor 440 and a condenser 4 38 are provided for the operation of the rear system 14 and the operation of the stop-state system 16. The front system 12 and the combination of rear system 14 and stop-state system 16 are thus completely decoupled. The compressor 440 which is in particular electrically driven, operates preferably in the running-state, in order to provide a running-state air-conditioning of the rear region through the evaporator 424 and in order to charge the cold accumulator 420. A dis¬charging is effected again via the heat carrier circuit 428 by operating the pump 430. Again it is to be noted, as al¬ready mentioned in connection with Figure 3, that an opera¬tion of the compressor 440 by all means may also be consid-ered'during the stop-state. Then, a direct cooling of the rear region via the evaporator 42 4 with the magnetic valves 4 58 being opened is possible and/or a charging of the cold accumulator 420 is possible with the magnetic valve 460 be¬ing opened, in order to withdraw this cooling energy later on from the cold accumulator 42 0. Again, as shown in Figure 2, an air flow from the same blower 426 acts upon the heat¬ing heat exchanger 422, the cooling heat exchanger 418 and the evaporator 424. Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of a fourth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. Herein also a complete decoupling of the front system 12 on the one hand and the combination of the rear system 14 and the stop-state system 16 on the other hand is present. The front system 12 corresponds to the one of Figure 5. The combination of rear system 14 and stop-state system 16 comprises in contrast to the solution ac¬cording to Figure 4 no cold accumulator. Hence, also in the stop-state air-conditioning the compressor 540 has to be operated, in order to be able to generate cold within the evaporator 52 4. Therefore it is recommendable to use a com¬pressor which is electrically or mechanically drivable by an auxiliary motor for the compressor 540, because this one can be operated by a battery, in particular an auxiliary battery, or by electric power from a fuel cell during the stop-state of the vehicle. The heating heat exchanger 52 2 is fed with cooling water 566, as for example according to Figure 4, wherein this can also be achieved for the purpose of heating during the stop-state through a water heater. Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of a fifth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the pre¬sent invention. The present example of the heating and air-conditioning system 10 corresponds in a wide extent the one which was described in connection with Figure 5. Only re¬garding the heating means of the front system 12 and the combination of rear system 14 and stop-state system 16 dif¬ferences can be noted. The front system 12 comprises an air heater 672 which is fed with air by the blower 652 prefera¬bly by bypassing the evaporator 632. Such an air heater can be formed for example as conventional fuel-operated auxil¬iary air heating device. The combination of rear system 14 and stop-state system 16 comprises an electric heater 674. This is fed with electric power from a vehicle battery, in particular an auxiliary battery, a fuel cell or a genera¬tor. Also the electrical heater 674 is preferably supplied with an air flow by the blower 626 by bypassing the evapo¬rator 624 . Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of a sixth embodiment of the heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. Again an example is illustrated, in which the front system 12 on the one hand and a combination of rear system 14 and stop-state system 16 are decoupled completely from each other. The front system 12 is con¬structed in a conventional manner. The combination of rear system 14 and stop-state system 16 lacks in contrast to the embodiment according to Figure 4 of a separate evaporator. Rather only the cold accumulator 72 0 is provided as evapo¬rator of the cooling circuit. Consequently, also in the running-state if a cooling of the rear region of the vehi¬cle is desired, the cold required for cooling is withdrawn from the cold accumulator 720 via the cooling heat ex¬changer 718 by the pump 730 via the heat carrier circuit 728. Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram of a seventh embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. This corresponds in a wide extent to the embodiment according to Figure 7. Differences exist in re¬gard to the heater in the combination of rear system and stop-state system. In the present example an air heater 876 is provided which is supplied with air by a blower 82 6 preferably by bypassing the cooling heat exchanger 818. Such an air heater can be formed for example as conven¬tional fuel-operated auxiliary air heating device. Figure 9 shows a schematic diagram of an eighth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. The here illustrated embodiment of the heating and air-conditioning system 10 according to the present invention corresponds in a wide extent to the em¬bodiment according to Figure 8. In the combination of rear system 14 and stop-state system 16, however, a separate cooling heat exchanger is omitted. Rather the cold accumu¬lator is designed as an accumulator-evaporator-heat-exchanger-unit 920, which can directly be fed with air by the blower 926 for transmitting cold into the inside of the vehicle. A heating device (not shown) can also be provided, for example by a heating heat exchanger through which cool¬ing water passes, as for example described in connection with Figure 7, an air auxiliary heating device, as for ex¬ample described in connection with Figure 8, or an electric heater, as for example described in connection with Figure 6. Figure 10 shows a schematic diagram of a ninth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. Here, two separate cooling circuits 1084 and 108 6 are provided. Both cooling circuits 108 4 and 108 6 are communicated with the same evaporator 1076, wherein no mixture of the mediums flowing separately through the evaporator 107 6 occurs within the evaporator 1076. The cooling circuit 1086 comprises a compressor 1040 which is drivable by an auxiliary motor 1080 or an auxiliary battery 108 0. The driving of the auxiliary motor can be effected as in the other embodiments of the present invention directly mechanically or in that the auxiliary motor directly drives the compressor 1040 via a generator or under interposing a battery which is charged by the generator. The second cool¬ing circuit 1086 is complete in other respect in that it has an own condenser 1038, an own accumulator 1082 and an own expansion element 1078. During the running-state of the vehicle generally the compressor 1036 is operated, whereas the compressor 1040 is not operated. In the stop-state of the motor vehicle, a stop-state air-conditioning is con¬ducted due to the compressor 104 0 being operated. Figure 11 shows a schematic diagram of a tenth embodiment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. This one corresponds in a wide extent to the embodiment according to Figure 10. In difference to Figure 10 no completely separated cooling circuits are pro¬vided. The proper operation of the system with the -compres¬sor 1136 being operated as well as with the compressor 114 0 being operated, is ensured by the arrangement of check valves 1188, 1190, 1192. During operation of the compressor 1036 and during stopping of the compressor 1140 the check valve 1192 ensures that no flow of cooling agent occurs via the conduit which bypasses the expansion element 1148, but that the entire flow proceeds through the expansion element 1148. The compressor 1140 prevents a flow of cooling agent towards the condenser 1138. During stopping of the compres¬sor 1136 and during operating the compressor 114 0, the check valve 1190 ensures, that the flow through the expan¬sion element 117 8 proceeds towards the evaporator 117 6. The check valve 1188 ensures that no flow occurs through the evaporator 1132. The compressor 113 6 is responsible for avoiding undesired flow of cooling agent occurs in the di¬rection towards the condenser 1134. Figure 12 shows a schematic diagram of an eleventh embodi¬ment of a heating and air-conditioning system according to the present invention. This one corresponds in a wide ex¬tent to the embodiment according to Figure 10. In differ¬ence to Figure 10, however, separate evaporators are pro¬vided for the running-state and the stop-state, namely the evaporator 1224 for the running-state and the evaporator 122 6 for the stop-state. An integration of the stop-state system 16 into the rear system 14 shows again in particular in that the heating heat exchanger 1222 of the rear system 14, the evaporator 1224 of the rear system 14 and the evaporator 1270 of the stop-state system 16 is supplied with an air flow by the same blower 122 6, thus comprising for example an arrangement, as shown in connection with Figure 2, which has already been discussed several times. The cooling heat exchanger 18 according to Figure 2 is then merely replaced by the evaporator 12 7 6 according to Figure 12. The features of the present invention disclosed in the pre¬ceding description, in the drawings and in the claims can be essential for the implementation of the invention indi¬vidually and in combination.
