Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kondensationsvorrichtung und ein Kondensationsverfahren für den Einsatz in einem Kraftfahrzeug.Die Nutzung der Kondensationsvorrichtung und/oder des Kondensationsverfahrens dient der Gewinnung von Wasser aus der das Kraftfahrzeug umgebenden Luft.Somit unterstützen die vorgeschlagene Kondensationsvorrichtung und das vorgeschlagene Kondensationsverfahren die Bereitstellung von Wasser im Kraftfahrzeug und begegnen damit dem stetig steigenden Bedarf von Wasser während dem Kraftfahrzeugbetrieb. The invention relates to a condensation device (1) for a motor vehicle for obtaining water from the air surrounding the motor vehicle, comprising a heat exchanger (11) and an expansion valve (14), a collecting device (20) and an operating fluid container (25), wherein the collecting device (20) is designed to collect water condensed on the heat exchanger (11) and the expansion valve (14), wherein the operating fluid container (25) is designed to store water, wherein the collecting device (20) and the operating fluid container (25) are connected to one another via a connecting line (22, 24), wherein the connecting line (22, 24) is designed to allow fluid communication to be established between the collecting device (20) and the operating fluid container (25). The condensation method for operating a condensation device describes that the heat exchanger (11) and/or the expansion valve (14) are/is sprayed with a spray mist.
