Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly including: a heat engine; a generator, the shaft of which is rotated by the heat engine; one or more electric motors for the evaporators of a vehicle cooling or air-conditioning system, the generator powering the electric evaporator motor(s) by an inverter; one or more electric motors for the condenser of the cooling or air-conditioning system, in which the motors include a four-pole rotor, the generator directly powering the condenser motor(s) and the supply voltage of the condenser motor(s) being the generator output voltage; a compressor which is driven mechanically by the heat engine; and an auxiliary electric motor for driving the compressor when it is not being driven by the heat engine.
