<p>A system for cooling and/or heating an internal combustion engine as well as heating a passenger compartment when required. In the system, the alternator (14) in the engine cooling circuit (12) powers thermoelectric heating components (16) in the cooling circuit (16) and/or the passenger compartment (22). The compartments are connected to the battery voltage (VB) via switches that are opened and closed by a device (26) depending on measured variables such as the external temperature (Tx), the coolant temperature (Te), the passenger compartment temperature (Th), etc. Said system may be used in internal combustion engines having an alternator cooled by the engine cooling circuit.</p> |
