An air conditioning system for motor vehicles designed to blow an air toward a glass window at the time of entry into a defrosting mode. The air conditioning system includes a rear seat controller configured to independently control a temperature and a volume of an air blown toward a rear seat region of a vehicle room, and a control unit configured to, at the time of entry into the defrosting mode, stop cooling or heating of the rear seat region and cause the rear seat controller to display a specific symbol indicating that the cooling or heating of the rear seat region is stopped due to the entry into the defrosting mode.

An HVAC module may include an air path through which air is flowable, an evaporator, and a heater. The evaporator and the heater may subdivide the air path into a main path and a side path. The main path may pass through the evaporator and the heater. The side path may branch off from the main path upstream of the evaporator and may open into the main path downstream of the heater. The side path may be fluidically connected to the main path between the evaporator and the heater. A first valve flap may be arranged in the air path and may be adjustable to a closed position and to an open position. A second valve flap may be arranged in the air path and may be adjustable to a first position, to a second position, and to a third position.

Disclosed therein is an air conditioner for a vehicle which includes a sealing member attached to one side of a door member of a mode door face-sealed with the inner face of an air-conditioning case by the inside wind pressure of the air-conditioning case so as to prevent vibration of the door member by wind pressure of the inside of the air-conditioning case and prevent air leakage from the face-sealed part, and which includes a rib formed on the door member for preventing excessive pressure of the sealing member in order to make actuating force of the door member uniform and to enhance a passenger's sense of manipulation.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control apparatus for safety of a vehicle occupant, a vehicle system including the same, and a method thereof. An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vehicle control apparatus, including: a processor configured to recognize information related to occupants in a vehicle using a radar and to generate information for air conditioning control and airbag control depending on the occupant information; and a communication device configured to transmit the information for the air conditioning control and the airbag control depending on the occupant information to an air conditioning control device and an airbag control device.

An apparatus for air-through cooling of aircraft galley food carts includes one or more chilled galley food cart bays and one or more galley chiller air supply and return ducting assemblies including a supply airflow duct and a bifurcated return airflow duct. Airflow balance baffles may be placed at the air return outlet portions and the supply airflow duct inlet portion, and interfaces between galley food carts and supply outlet ports and return inlet ports resilient may include resilient or insulated seals, and spring loaded sealing flaps opened by contact with a portion of a galley food cart.

A vehicle includes an internal combustion engine (ICE) selectable between a running state and a non-running state. A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is in thermal contact with the ICE for converting thermal energy from the ICE to output electrical energy. The vehicle has an electric pump for circulating a liquid coolant through a coolant circuit. The electric pump is selectively powerable by the electrical energy output from the TEG. The coolant circuit is in fluid communication with the ICE, a radiator, and the TEG; and the TEG is downstream of the radiator in the coolant circuit.

The invention relates to an assembly including a heat exchanger and a mounting on which the heat exchanger is mounted. The heat exchanger including a first channel for circulating a coolant supplied by a first collector provided with a first pipe in which the coolant can circulate. The heat exchanger also including a second channel for circulating the coolant supplied by a second collector provided with a second pipe in which the coolant can circulate. The first and second channels define a heat-exchange surface that extends in a substantially vertical plane. The first pipe is located in a lower half of the first collector along a first axis parallel to the plane of the heat-exchange surface, with the second pipe located above the first pipe along the first axis. The invention further relates to an air-conditioning loop including the above-described assembly.

An HVAC module for a vehicle includes a cooling unit to cool air that passes through the cooling unit and a heating unit to warm air that passes through the heating unit. The HVAC module has a housing having a plurality of airflow paths to guide the air that passes through the cooling unit or the heating unit. An upper discharge outlet temperature is indeterminate based on a temperature detected by a single temperature sensor in one of the plurality of airflow paths and a blend setting. The HVAC module includes a temperature sensor to determine a reference temperature of the air at a sensor location. The reference temperature is offset from a floor outlet temperature by a floor offset function of the blend setting. The reference temperature is offset from the upper discharge outlet temperature by an upper offset function of the blend setting.

A car having a water box comprising an outer face, an inner face, an air inlet opening, an air outlet opening and a water outlet opening. The inner face forms a water separating space that is connected to the air inlet and outlet openings and the water outlet opening. The water outlet opening discharges water out of the separating space. An air conditioner is connected to the air outlet opening to feed air from the water box into the air conditioner. An air feeding unit sucks the air into the air conditioner via the air inlet opening. The air feeding unit is designed as a suction fan. The water box comprises a wall that comprises fibers forming a non-woven fabric i.e. felt.

A vehicle air conditioning device (10; 10A; 10B) has a casing (20) configuring a temperature adjustment section (12; 12A; 12B). The casing (20) has provided in a position thereof opposed to an inflow surface (41) of a heat exchanger (40) a flow direction change section (30) which causes the flow direction of air led to the temperature adjustment section (12; 12A; 12B) from a duct section (13; 13A; 13B) to bend approximately 90 degrees and leads the air to the inflow surface (41). Guide portions (60, 70; 60A, 70A; 60B) smaller in area than the flow direction change section (30) as seen when directly facing the inflow surface (41) are provided in a heat exchanger upstream space (22) between the inner wall surface of the casing (20) and the inflow surface (41).
