Abstract:
A method for controlling a temperature regulated system within the cabin of a vehicle. The method comprises providing a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor, the temperature senseors being located within the cabin such that the first temperature sensor is located at a substantially higher eve than the second temperature sensor when the vehicle is on a level surface. The method further comprises calculating TR, an estimated temperature, wherein TR is calculated using T1, the temperature measured by the first temperature sensor and T2, the temperature measured by the second temperature sensor. The method then comprises operating the temperature regulation system according to the calculated value TR for a predefined period of time after start up, and thereafter operating the temperature regulation system according to the measured value of T2.
Abstract:
An outside air temperature measurement device and method for vehicles derives a useable final value of the outside air temperature within seconds of the beginning of vehicle movement by developing a mathematical expression (i.e., model) for the exponential data series while discriminating against thermal noise components existing in the measurement data.
Abstract:
A method for determining ambient air temperature outside of a vehicle with a sensor mounted on the vehicle, includes the steps of determining a road speed of the vehicle, comparing the determined road speed to a reference road speed value, if the determined road speed is below the reference road speed value, activating a device to move ambient air across the sensor, the ambient air being drawn from a location outside the vehicle, taking a temperature reading with the sensor, and, if the temperature reading is lower than a stored temperature value, storing the lower temperature reading as the ambient air temperature.
Abstract:
Der Erfindung schlägt vor, Messfehler, resultierend aus einer Luftzirkulation vor einem Messort (30), dadurch zu eliminieren, dass diese Zirkulation als solches ermittelt wird. Dazu wird auf ein Heizelement (5, 22) ein Signal (S normal ) gegeben, welches durch thermische Kopplung mit einem Sensor (7, 24) als Sprungantwort (L ruh , L bew ) ausgelesen wird. Aus der Differenz der Sprungantwort (L ruh , L bew ) im Vergleich zu der adaptiv am Sensor (7, 24) ermittelten Reaktion bei ruhender Luft wird eine oder keine Luftströmung ermittelt. Diese Information wird gewichtet bei der Ermittlung der Innenraumtemperatur berücksichtigt.
Abstract:
An example operation includes one or more of detecting a living element in a transport, determining a dangerous condition exists in response to an internal temperature of the transport is outside of a threshold and a negative characteristic is associated with the living element, and positioning the transport to a location to reduce the dangerous condition.
Abstract:
A device for measuring the temperature in the interior of a vehicle is provided. The device includes an interior temperature sensor arranged at and/or in a plug-in end of a plug-in housing. The interior temperature sensor projects beyond the plug-in end of the plug-in housing. The plug-in housing is biased away from a cover element for assuming a defined plug-in position of the plug-in housing when the plug-in end of the plug-in housing is plugged into a receiving space of the latter and the interior temperature sensor is arranged in the through-going opening of the cover element.
Abstract:
A method for operating an electric motor-driven refrigerant compressor of a motor vehicle is provided. A first temperature of a power semiconductor is measured, and a second temperature of the power semiconductor is determined using a theoretical model of the motor-driven refrigerant compressor. A difference between the first temperature and second temperature is determined. A fault is detected if the difference is greater than a first threshold. The invention further relates to a motor-driven refrigerant compressor of a motor vehicle, to the use of a motor-driven refrigerant compressor, and to a motor vehicle comprising a refrigerant circuit.
