Abstract
A method for climate control, in which an overall mass flow of air is guided through an auxiliary heater, which has multiple zones. The overall mass flow is divided after flowing through the auxiliary heater into multiple partial mass flows, and an nth partial mass flow respectively flows out of an nth zone. A value of at least one flow parameter of an nth partial mass flow is ascertained, and at least one manipulated variable of a respective nth zone is set in dependence on the value of the at least one flow parameter. Overheating of at least one zone of the auxiliary heater is avoided.

A method for climate control, in which an overall mass flow of air is guided through an auxiliary heater, which has multiple zones, wherein the overall mass flow is divided after flowing through the auxiliary heater into multiple partial mass flows, wherein an nth partial mass flow respectively flows out of an nth zone, wherein a value of at least one flow parameter of an nth partial mass flow is ascertained, wherein at least one manipulated variable of a respective nth zone is set in dependence on the value of the at least one flow parameter.
A climate control device, which has an auxiliary heater having multiple zones and a control unit, in which the auxiliary heater is designed to divide an overall mass flow of air, which is guided through the auxiliary heater, into multiple partial mass flows after flowing through the auxiliary heater, wherein an nth partial mass flow results respectively from an nth zone, wherein the control unit is designed to ascertain a value of at least one flow parameter of an nth partial mass flow and to set at least one manipulated variable of a respective nth zone in dependence on the value of the at least one flow parameter.
