Each core comprises an upper tank (503; 505) at a first end of the evaporator and a lower tank (504; 506) at a second end of the evaporator. Multiple conduits are arranged to allow fluid communication between the upper and lower tanks. Refrigerant supplied through the refrigerant inlet (410; 510) is directed from the first upper tank (503) to the first lower tank (504) a first path (P1). A split second path (P2, P2') is directed from the first lower tank (504) to the first upper tank (503) on either side of the first path (P1). Refrigerant is then directed from the second upper tank (505) to the second lower tank (506) in a split third path (P3, P3') on either side of a fourth path (P4). The fourth path (P4) is directed from the second lower tank (506) to an outlet (420; 520) at the second upper tank (505).

The present disclosure relates to a corner element (38, 40) for attachment of a cargo protection device (14) to an interior (10) of a vehicle (12). The corner element comprises a holding portion (42), adapted to be located at least partly in or at an upper corner (24, 26) of the cargo protection device, and an attachment portion (44) for attachment of the corner element to the interior of the vehicle. The holding portion comprises a first leg (46) and a second leg (48) connected by a central portion (50), the first leg extending from the central portion in a first direction (D 1 ) and the second leg extending from the central portion (50) in a second direction (D 2 ), such that the first and second directions in an untensioned state of the holding portion form an angle ± with each other with 90° < ± < 110°. The attachment portion extends from the central portion in a third direction (D 3 ), which has a first component in a direction opposite to the first direction and a second component in a direction opposite to the second direction. The disclosure further relates to a cargo protection device, comprising a foldable and/or rollable fabric portion (20) and at least one such corner element, and a method of attaching such a cargo protection device to the interior of the vehicle.

The present invention relates to a twin scroll turbocharger device for an internal combustion engine having at least one combustion chamber. The twin scroll turbocharger device comprises a turbine portion comprising a turbine wheel; a first turbine scroll and a second turbine scroll; and a first turbine scroll valve for allowing control of a flow of the exhaust gas through the first turbine scroll; a compressor portion comprising a compressor inlet; a compressor outlet; and a compressor wheel for pressurizing air received from the compressor inlet and providing pressurized air to the at least one combustion chamber via the compressor outlet. The twin scroll turbocharger device further comprises a container for storing pressurized gas; a container conduit fluid flow connecting the container and the turbine portion for controllably providing pressurized air from the container to a first container inlet located between the first turbine scroll valve and the turbine wheel.

The present invention relates to an air supply arrangement (3) for a vehicle (1). The air supply arrangement (3) comprising - a housing (15) comprising an air inlet (19) adapted to receive an air stream from outside of the vehicle (1) and an outlet (21) adapted to convey the air stream to a vehicle climate control system, and - a cowl (17, 17') provided within the housing (15), wherein the cowl (17, 17') is arranged such that the air stream is split into at least two air stream portions, whereof a first air stream portion (25) passes between the cowl (17, 17') and a top portion (55) of the housing (15), and a second air stream portion (27) passes below the cowl (17, 17'). The invention also relates to a vehicle (1) comprising such an air supply arrangement (3).

The present disclosure relates to a sill structure (12) for a vehicle (10). The sill structure comprises an outer member (18), an inner member (20), which is located laterally inside the outer member as seen in a transverse direction (T) of the vehicle (10), and a reinforcement member (22), which is located laterally between the outer member and the inner member. An upper end portion (26) of the inner member is attached to the reinforcement member in a first connection (30). An upper end portion (32) of the outer member is attached to the reinforcement member in a second connection (40) being located vertically below and separate from the first connection (30). A lower end portion (42) of the inner member is attached to the reinforcement member and to a lower end portion (44) of the outer member in a third connection (46) being located vertically below and separate from the first connection and the second connection. The reinforcement member extends in a straight way or substantially straight way between the second connection and the third connection. The disclosure further relates to a vehicle comprising such a sill structure.

A load cover arrangement for an interior luggage compartment of a vehicle. The load cover arrangement comprises a load cover having a fixed end attached to a tailgate of the vehicle, and a front portion having fastening members for releasably attaching to a front side of the luggage compartment. When attached, the load cover extends a distance D closed in a closed tailgate position, and a distance D open in an open tailgate position, measured from an opening in the tailgate and across the luggage compartment. The fixed end of the load cover is arranged inside of the tailgate and the load cover extends an internal distance D internal and projects out through the opening in the tailgate, wherein at least a portion of the load cover is resiliently elastic so that it is stretchable between a retracted position with a length of D retrated , the closed tailgate position and the open tailgate position.

A method and a device for operating a pre-lubrication system for an internal combustion engine of a hybrid electrical vehicle after vehicle start up, wherein the hybrid electrical vehicle comprises an electric engine and the internal combustion engine. The electric engine is turned on at vehicle start up and the internal combustion engine is turned on at vehicle start up or after a period of time after vehicle start up. The pre-lubrication system comprises an engine control function for controlling the internal combustion engine, monitoring the torque requested by a driver and storing information regarding when the driver requests torque equal to or higher than a predetermined torque threshold. The cranking operation of the internal combustion engine, in order to build up oil pressure and fill the oil circuit with oil, is initiated based on the stored information or when the electrical hybrid vehicle reaches a predetermined vehicle speed threshold.
