An air conditioning module including a compressor for inhaling and compressing a refrigerant, a condenser for condensing the refrigerant compressed in the compressor, and an expansion means for throttling the refrigerant condensed in the condenser. An evaporator evaporates the refrigerant supplied through the expansion means. The air conditioning module also includes a housing including a first passageway, a second passageway, a first discharge passageway, and a second discharge passageway.

A remote-controlled automobile heater system includes a housing having a magnet disposed on the top-side that is able to secure the remote-controlled automobile heater system to the interior of the cab of an automobile. The housing includes a heating element and a mechanical fan that blows air across the heating element to create convective heat that disperses within the cab of the automobile. The remote-controlled automobile heater system further includes a transmitter capable of activating the heating element and the mechanical fan from a distance. The remote-controlled automobile heater system is useful for attaching to the interior cab of an automobile for pre-heating the automobile cab before driving.

The present invention relates to an air conditioning system and, more particularly, to an air conditioning system comprising, within a single air conditioning case: a cool air passage in which an evaporator is installed; a warm air passage in which a condenser is installed; an installation space portion in which air conditioner parts such as a compressor are installed; and an air discharge passage for discharging, to the outside, air unnecessary for cooling and heating, thereby enabling attachment and detachment inside a vehicle, and enabling use as a portable air conditioner as well as a vehicle air conditioner. In addition, as the system is capable of cooling and heating, a separate heater core or PTC heater for heating is not required, thereby the structure is simple, and the system is capable of controlling cooling and heating modes through a single operation door, thereby allowing the system to be miniaturized.

An air conditioning module, which can perform cooling and heating through a single module, which is capable of being compact-sized, which can prevent problems caused by condensate water because the condensate water can be easily discharged out, and which can control all of two doors for heating and cooling by a link member and an actuator.

A method of detecting airflow blockage of a transport refrigeration system including the steps of: activating a heater powered by an electric generation device; measuring an output voltage of the electric generation device; determining a predicted heat output of the heater in response to the output voltage; determining a predicted temperature rise across the heater in response to the predicted heat output; detecting a measured temperature rise across the heater; and determining an airflow reduction percentage in response to the predicted temperature rise across the heater and the measured temperature rise across the heater.

A temperature modulation assembly for a motor vehicle's passenger compartment includes an assembly panel having a single or a plurality of solar panels which convert sunlight into electricity and an assembly housing which includes an internal thermoelectric Peltier cooler having a heat sink on its cool side and a heat sink on its hot side and an internal fluid distribution module which draws air into the assembly housing, causes some of the air to be cooled by passing through the cool side heat sink and directed back into the passenger compartment and the rest of the air to be heated by passing through the hot side heat sink and directed back into the passenger compartment. The components of the assembly housing utilize electricity that originates at the assembly panel, and the assembly housing is structured to distribute cooled towards near the passenger seating and heated air towards the windshield.

An air transfer apparatus for transferring air from an air supply to a restricted environment is provided. The apparatus can include a tubing assembly cooperating with the air supply to provide an airflow to a separate environment. The apparatus can further include an attachment being in fluid communication with the tubing assembly. The attachment being further insertable within the restricted environment. The apparatus can also include a ventilator operably connected to the tubing assembly, wherein operating the ventilator favors the production of airflow from the air supply to the restricted environment. Also, a method of use is provided. Finally, a kit comprising the air transfer apparatus is provided.

A method for delivering one or more orders of goods (42) to one or more customers using a one or more coolers (100), each cooler having a compartment (212) and an environmental control unit (290). The environmental control unit has: a temperature sensor (390); a radio (370); a controller (330) coupled to the temperature sensor and radio. The method comprises: loading the at least one cooler with goods; after the loading, transporting the one or more coolers to one or more destinations; unloading the one or more coolers at the one or more destinations; during the transporting, monitoring, via the associated temperature sensor, respective temperatures of the one or more coolers; determining noncompliance of the measured temperature with at least one standard; and responsive to the noncompliance sending a communication to one or more of the customers whose orders were subject to the noncompliance.

A sun shade in the form of cover, manual or automatic, made of reflective or any other fabrics and non-ferrous materials, made in whole or in multiple pieces to fully or partially cover the whole or top part of a vehicle as to reduce the effect of heat waves affecting automobile's inside and outside, having a camera on top and a portable fans inside said vehicle that are powered by over the top solar panels first to monitor and capture surrounding activities, second to recirculate congested air inside said automobile, and then to power any other portable accessories inside said vehicle.

A method of managing a compressor start operation, the method comprising controlling a valve disposed upstream of a compressor to lower a saturated suction temperature of a refrigerant to be below an ambient temperature while starting the compressor.
