Air Conditioning System for Mobility - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174051 titled 'Air Conditioning System for Mobility

Simplified Explanation

An embodiment air conditioning system described in the abstract includes a refrigerant circuit with various components, coolant lines with heat exchangers, valves for controlling coolant flow, and a controller for managing the system in different modes.

  • The system comprises a compressor, condenser, expander, and evaporator in the refrigerant circuit.
  • There are two coolant lines with heat exchangers, connected in a specific way to allow coolant flow between them.
  • A valve is used to control the flow of coolant in the first coolant line.
  • The controller manages the valve in a heating mode to direct cooled coolant to the air conditioning heat exchangers.
