A modular roof-mounted air-conditioning system for a vehicle, the modular roof-mounted air-conditioning system comprising:
- at least two similar air-conditioning system modules for air-conditioning spatial areas within the vehicle, and
- wherein the air-conditioning system modules are combined to form a functional assembly, wherein the assembly can be installed on a roof of the vehicle.
A modular roof-mounted air-conditioning system for a vehicle, the modular roof-mounted air-conditioning system comprising:
- at least two similar air-conditioning system modules for air-conditioning spatial areas within the vehicle, and
- wherein at least one air-conditioning system module has at least one first submodule and at least one second submodule,
- wherein the first submodule has at least one first connecting section,
- wherein the second submodule has at least one second connecting section,
- wherein the first submodule and the second submodule can be connected via the first connecting section and the second connecting section,
- wherein the first submodule is formed for exchanging heat energy between the air-conditioning system module and an external environment of the vehicle, and
- wherein the second submodule is formed for exchanging heat energy between the air-conditioning system module and a spatial area, in particular a passenger compartment and/or a driver/front seat area and/or a resting area and/or a refrigerator module and/or a battery unit of the vehicle.
