Abstract
A charging station, such as, in particular, a charging column, includes an electrical connection for supplying current/voltage to the charging station, a charging connection for connecting at least one electrical energy store that is to be charged, and a thermal connection to a geothermal temperature control device for controlling the temperature of the charging station by geothermal energy.
Claims15
A charging station comprising:
- an electrical connection for supplying current/voltage to the charging station,
- a charging connection configured for connecting to at least one electrical energy store that is to be charged,
- a thermal connection to a geothermal temperature control device for controlling a temperature of the charging station by geothermal energy,
- a heat exchanger or heat pump for exchanging thermal energy between a coolant in the charging station and the geothermal energy of the thermal connection in order to control the temperature of the coolant, and
- a pump configured to circulate the coolant in the charging station to and from (i) the heat exchanger or heat pump, (ii) an electronics system of the charging station for cooling the electronics system, and (iii) the charging connection for cooling the charging connection.
