ATV air heat exchanger with mounting structure and linkage
An off road vehicle has an air heater with right and left shells surrounding and supporting a core, with the right and left shells connected by screws extending through ears on one of the shells into bosses on the other shell. Dual air control plates are mounted in the shell on a shaft for pivoting movement. An actuator is linked to the shaft by a swing arm with a guide pin riding in an arced slot of a drive plate rotationally secured to the shaft. The right and left shells are secured to the vehicle using a resilient compressible grommet, with a bushing extending through the grommet and a bolt extending through the bushing and attached into the frame.
Air delivery systems and methods for a vehicle passenger compartment
A vehicle includes a body mounted with a chassis, the body having a passenger compartment, a seat in the passenger compartment for supporting an occupant in a sitting position, and a roll over protection structure for the passenger compartment. The roll over protection structure includes an inlet coupled in gaseous communication to an air source, an outlet coupled in gaseous communication to a vehicle occupant wearable, and an airflow pathway through the roll over protection structure coupling the inlet to the outlet in gaseous communication.
Climate control system and method for motor vehicle with removable roof and side doors
A climate control system includes a plurality of vent registers, an HVAC unit delivering conditioned air to the plurality of vent registers, a side door status monitoring device and a controller configured to control opening and closing of the plurality of vent registers in response to side door status data provided by the side door status monitoring device. A related climate control method is also provided.
