A heating method and device for vehicles with limited power requirement, more particularly for light vehicles such as helicopters and light aircraft. For limiting the weight of the auxiliary airborne equipment, the invention provides at least partially heating of the cabin by reversal of the cooling cycle. For that a valve diverts coolant fluid to the evaporator for reheating the recirculation air of the cabin.

Heating device for vehicles with limited power, of the type comprising air conditioning by flowing atmospheric air over a coolant fluid circuit comprising a compressor whose delivery side is connected to a condenser then to a buffer reservoir, a thermostatic valve and an evaporator, further comprising a diverting means for diverting the delivery from the compressor to a depression generating device for heating the atmospheric air flow through the evaporator in order to heat this air, which causes expansion of the coolant fluid in the gaseous phase without loss of energy, before it enters the cabin, said diverting means and depression generating device being connected between the delivery side of the compressor and the evaporator.
