Patent ID: 8397853

Claim:
A method for arranging an accumulating device ( 15 ) in proximity of a floor ( 25 ) of a vehicle ( 1 ) forming a bottom wall of a passenger compartment ( 20 ) of the vehicle ( 1 ) itself; the accumulating device ( 15 ) has a heating base wall ( 33 ) which is free from heat insulation, and a non-heating base wall ( 34 ) which is parallel and opposite to the heating base wall ( 33 ) and is provided with a heat-insulating material layer ( 35 ); and the method comprises the step of arranging the accumulating device ( 15 ) in a seating ( 44 ) obtained in proximity of the floor ( 25 ); the method is characterized in that it comprises the further steps of: implementing the accumulating device ( 15 ) with a symmetry allowing the reversal of the accumulating device ( 15 ) itself within the seating ( 44 ) obtained in proximity of the floor ( 25 ) such that the heating base wall ( 31 ) may be equally either faced upwards and then towards the passenger compartment ( 20 ) or faced downwards and then towards the external environment; in the event of cold climate, arranging the accumulating device ( 15 ) in proximity of the floor ( 25 ), the heating base wall ( 33 ) facing upwards and then towards the passenger compartment ( 20 ) for transmitting the heat generated by the accumulating device ( 15 ) towards the passenger compartment ( 20 ) so as to heat the passenger compartment ( 20 ) itself; or alternatively in the event of warm climate, arranging the accumulating device ( 15 ) in proximity of the floor ( 25 ), the heating base wall ( 33 ) facing downwards and then towards the external environment for dissipating the heat generated by the accumulating device ( 15 ) towards the external environment so as not to heat the passenger compartment ( 20 ).
