Abstract
The aim of the invention is to enable air conditioning systems of vehicles (F) to be filled with refrigerant (K) in a simpler and more efficient manner. This is achieved by a filling device having a receiving region for receiving a pressure container filled with the refrigerant (K), a valve unit, being connected to an outlet of the pressure container, for controlling the quantity of the refrigerant (K) being supplied to the vehicle (F), and a heating device (9) for heating the pressure container, wherein the heating device has at least one infrared heating unit to heat the pressure container without any contact.
Claims22
A filling device for carrying out a filling process an air conditioning system of a vehicle with a refrigerant, wherein in the filling device there are provided a receiving region for receiving a pressure container filled with a refrigerant, a valve unit being connected to an outlet of the pressure container for controlling a quantity of the refrigerant being supplied to the vehicle, and a heating device for heating the pressure container, wherein the heating device has at least one infrared heating unit to heat the pressure container without any contact.
A method for carrying out a filling process of an air conditioning system of a vehicle with a, wherein the refrigerant is supplied to the vehicle from a pressure, wherein a supplied quantity of the refrigerant is controlled via a valve unit connected to an outlet of the pressure container, and wherein the pressure container is heated to increase a pressure in the pressure container, wherein the pressure container is heated by at least one infrared heating unit without any contact.
