摘要 |
The invention relates to a passenger vehicle (1) which includes an electric drive motor (2), an energy storage system, a braking resistance (3) for dissipating a part of the electric energy generated or stored, an air-conditioning system (4) and a thermal conditioning circuit (7) which contains a refrigerant capable of absorbing heat. The circuit (7) includes a circulation pump (5), the braking resistance (3), a distribution valve (6), and a control unit (10) configured to activate the circulation pump (5) and the distribution valve (6) in accordance with predetermined conditions. The distribution valve (6) allows the refrigerant to flow towards a first branch (11), connected to refrigeration means for refrigerating the refrigerant contained in the first branch (11), or toward a second branch (12) connected to the air-conditioning system (4) in order to supply heat to the space reserved for passengers. |
