Vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, comprising a temperature-control system for controlling the temperature of a vehicle interior

A temperature-control system for a vehicle, comprising:

• a temperature-control circuit configured to control a temperature of an interior of the vehicle,
• a temperature-control medium guided in the temperature-control circuit,
• a source temperature-control system operatively connectable or operatively connected to the temperature-control circuit, and being configured to thermally influence the temperature-control medium guided in the temperature-control circuit,
• at least one interior temperature-control system is operatively connectable or operatively connected to the temperature-control circuit such that the temperature-control medium located in the temperature-control circuit is usable to change the temperature of the vehicle interior,
• wherein
• the at least one interior temperature-control system includes at least two interior temperature-control systems arranged in series in the temperature-control circuit, and
• in a direction of flow of the temperature-control medium there is at least one of
• a floor temperature-control arrangement arranged upstream of a roof temperature-control arrangement, a seat temperature-control arrangement and an interior trim temperature-control arrangement,
• the roof temperature-control arrangement arranged upstream of the seat temperature-control and the interior trim temperature-control arrangement, and
• the seat temperature-control arranged or formed upstream of the interior trim temperature-control arrangement.

A method for controlling a temperature of an interior of a vehicle having a temperature-control system which includes

• a temperature-control circuit, a temperature-control medium guided in the temperature-control circuit,
• a source temperature-control system operatively connectable or operatively connected to the temperature-control circuit, and being configured to thermally influence the temperature-control medium guided in the temperature-control circuit, and
• at least one interior temperature-control system operatively connectable or operatively connected to the temperature-control circuit such that the temperature-control medium located in the temperature-control circuit is usable to change the temperature of the vehicle interior,
• wherein
• the at least one interior temperature-control system includes at least two interior temperature-control systems arranged in series in the temperature-control circuit, and
• in a direction of flow of the temperature-control medium there is at least one of
• a floor temperature-control arrangement arranged upstream of a roof temperature-control arrangement, a seat temperature-control arrangement and an interior trim temperature-control arrangement,
• the roof temperature-control arrangement arranged upstream of the seat temperature-control and the interior trim temperature-control arrangement, and
• the seat temperature-control arranged or formed upstream of the interior trim temperature-control arrangement
• the method comprising the acts of:
• controlling an amount of thermal energy exchanged between the source temperature-control system, the temperature-control circuit and the at least one interior temperature-control system to control the temperature of the interior of a vehicle to a predetermined temperature.
