An adjustment knob for rotating a horizontal vane and a vertical vane of a motor vehicle air vent is provided. The adjustment knob includes a knob body and a vane rotating portion. The knob body is coupled to the horizontal vane so as to be movable in a horizontal direction. An inserting gap, into which the horizontal vane is inserted in a frontward direction, and a receiving gap, which is enlarged from the inserting gap, are penetrated through the knob body in the horizontal direction. The vane rotating portion rotates the vertical vane by a movement of the knob body. The vane rotating portion is fixed to a rear end of the knob body below the inserting gap, and is connected to the vertical vane. The knob body is coupled to the horizontal vane such that a front end of the horizontal vane is positioned in the receiving gap and the vane rotating portion is adjacent to a rear end of the horizontal vane.

A cooling circuit for a vehicle includes a single cooler, a refrigeration machine, a first heat-generating device, a second heat-generating device, a coolant pump arrangement configured to pump a coolant, a valve arrangement, and an electronic control module. The first heat-generating device requires the coolant at a first coolant temperature level. The second het-generating device requires the coolant at a second coolant temperature level. The valve arrangement is configured to supply the coolant from the first and second heat-generating devices to the refrigeration machine and/or to the single cooler. The electronic control module is designed to control a temperature of the coolant at coolant inlets of the first and second heat-generating devices by varying flow rates of the coolant through the refrigeration machine and/or the single cooler.

A vehicle air conditioning device is provided which is capable of accurately judging the need for temperature regulation of an object of temperature regulation mounted in a vehicle and efficiently performing temperature regulation. A compressor 2 to compress a refrigerant, an indoor heat exchanger (radiator 4 and heat absorber 9) for exchanging heat between air supplied to a vehicle interior and the refrigerant, an outdoor heat exchanger 7 disposed outside the vehicle interior, and a control device 11 are provided to perform air conditioning of the vehicle interior. An equipment temperature adjusting device 61 for adjusting the temperature of the object of temperature regulation mounted in the vehicle is provided. The control device controls the equipment temperature adjusting device 61 on the basis of a gradient (ΔTw) of a change in an index indicating the temperature of the object of temperature regulation.

Provided is an interlock device for a high voltage apparatus which enables not only the diagnosis of the connected or non-connected state of a connector during normal operation of the interlock device, but also the detection of a failure of the interlock device itself, including a failure of the interlock loop. The device includes an interlock loop 16 annexed to an HV connector 7 for connecting an electric compressor to an HV battery 8, a detecting signal output unit, a first switching element, a controlling voltage switching circuit operable, in a closed state of the interlock loop, to switch a voltage applied to a control electrode of the first switching element according to an output of the detecting signal output unit, a second switching element operable, in an open state of the interlock loop, to apply to the control electrode of the first switching element an output of the controlling voltage switching circuit so as to cause an ON/OFF state of the first switching element to be inverted from when the interlock loop is in the closed state, and a failure diagnosis unit.

An air distribution assembly for a recreational vehicle may include a frame mounted within an opening of the recreational vehicle and a baffle positioned therein to sealing divide an air handling chamber into an air supply side and an air return side. The baffle may include mounting flanges for rigidly connecting the baffle to the inside surface of the frame.

A coolant connection structure includes an upper body fastened to an upper end portion of the vehicle, a lower body positioned at a lower end portion of the upper body, a floor panel formed between the upper body and the lower body, and a joint module positioned at the floor panel and fluidly connected to a coolant tank positioned at the lower body.

A refrigerant system includes a compressor, multiple pressure sensors, multiple refrigerant flow valves, and a processor. The compressor is configured to present a refrigerant at a first pressure. A first pressure sensor is configured to measure the first pressure of the refrigerant. A second pressure sensor is configured to measure a second pressure of the refrigerant. The refrigerant flow valves have a plurality of flow valve positions. The processor is configured to calculate a delta value as a difference between the first pressure and the second pressure, calculate an expected delta value between the first pressure and the second pressure based on a ratio of a low-side density of the refrigerant at the compressor to the flow valve positions, and perform a remedial action where the delta value deviates from the expected delta value by greater than a threshold value.

Various disclosed embodiments include systems, vehicles, and controllers for vehicles. An illustrative system includes a climate control system configured to heat or cool a space and a controller configured to provide control signals to the climate control system. An occupancy sensor is configured to detect one or more occupants within the space and provide occupancy information to the controller. A door sensor is configured to detect open or closed status of a door and is configured to provide door status information to the controller. The control signals from the controller are based on a combination of the occupancy information and the door status information.

Disclosed embodiments include airflow systems, vehicles, and controllers of airflow units. An illustrative airflow system of a vehicle includes an airflow inlet duct, an airflow intake duct, an air intake door, and an airflow unit. The airflow inlet duct is adapted to draw ambient air.
