Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A motor vehicle includes a cab unit ( 3 ) tiltable relative to a vehicle frame ( 2 ) between a lowered state and a raised state. A first circuit ( 10 ) on the vehicle frame circulates a first medium. A second circuit ( 20 ) in the cab unit circulates a second medium. A heat transfer arrangement ( 4 ) transfers heat between the media. The arrangement includes a first heat transfer unit ( 11 ) on the vehicle frame, and in the first circuit and the first medium flows through it, and a second heat transfer unit ( 21 ) on the cab unit and in the second circuit and the second medium flows through it. These heat transfer units ( 11, 21 ) are in heat-transferring contact when the cab unit is in the lowered state and are separated when the cab unit is in the raised state.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A motor vehicle with a heat transfer arrangement: the vehicle comprising: a vehicle frame; a cab unit which comprises a driver space, a separable connection between the cab unit and the vehicle frame such that the cab unit may be separated away from or moved to the vehicle frame; a first circuit configured for circulation of a first medium and situated at the vehicle frame; a second circuit configured for circulation of a second medium and situ…
