Abstract (en)

An air conditioning system and a method for its control is provided. The air conditioning system comprises a heating and/or cooling part and a heat transfer circuit, wherein a first heat exchanger thermally connects the heating and/or cooling part with the heat transfer circuit. The heat transfer circuit comprises a pump configured to circulate a heat transfer medium in the heat transfer circuit, a second heat exchanger configured to transfer heat between the heat transfer medium of the heat transfer circuit and an indoor space, and a bypass line bypassing the second heat exchanger, wherein the bypass line comprises a bypass valve between a first and a second end of the bypass line, wherein the bypass valve is configured to control a flow through the bypass line and wherein the heat transfer circuit comprises a heat transfer medium containing a phase change material. A controller of the system is configured to control an opening degree of the bypass valve. The presented air conditioning system has an increased coefficient of performance.
