摘要:The present invention relates to a temperature control system for heating andcooling a passenger compartment of a vehicle during start up of an engine of the vehicle.
The system comprises a working fluid conduit configured to convey a working fluid andbeing in thermal communication with a heat source or a heat sink. The system furthercomprises a heater core (230) disposed in an air channel of the vehicle and in thermalcommunication with a power train coolant in thermal communication with the engine, anda thermoelectric device (240) having a main surface and a waste surface, wherein thewaste surface is in thermal communication with the working fluid conduit. Additionally,the system comprises a heat exchanger (250) disposed in the air channel and in thermalcommunication with the main surface of the thermoelectric device (240), wherein thethermoelectric device (240) is operatively connected to the air channel downstream fromthe heater core (230) when air flows (210) through the air channel. The system alsocomprises a controller configured to operate the temperature control system in two ormore modes of operation. The two or more modes of operation comprise a start upheating mode, when the engine is started from a cold state, wherein the thermoelectricdevice (240) is configured to heat the airflow (210). There is also a steady state heatingmode, when the engine is ready to heat the airflow (210), wherein the engine isconfigured to heat the airflow (210) via the heater core (230) while the thermoelectricdevice is disengaged.
