Abstract

A heating installation, especially for heating a passenger space in a motor vehicle, with at least one heat-exchanger that is adapted to be connected as a heat-absorbing heat-exchanger to a heat source, preferably to the exhaust gas pipe, and can be provided as a heat-emitting heat-exchanger at any desired place in the passenger space; the heat-exchanger is thereby accommodated in a housing and a medium is provided inside of this housing for the heat transfer which has a high heat-storage capacity and continues to transfer heat to the heat-conducting medium over long periods of time even after termination of the heat supply from the heat source or in case the heat source supplies relatively small quantities of heat.
