Abstract

A cooling apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a coolant circuit through which a coolant can flow, a coolant compressor, a first evaporator, at least one second evaporator, a first suction line for leading the coolant from the first evaporator to the coolant compressor, a second suction line, a main line connected fluidically to suction lines at a connecting point, and at least one internal heat exchanger, through which coolant flowing from the at least one of the evaporators to the coolant compressor can flow. The internal heat exchanger is arranged in at least one of the suction lines and the connecting point is arranged downstream of the at least one heat exchanger.
