The cord harness including a series of guard sections and hinges facilitating a foldable protective design for wiring. The air conditioning apparatus may attach to a supporting assembly configured to fit in a cupholder. The supporting assembly may be configured to fit multiple cupholder designs. The air conditioning apparatus and supporting assembly may include additional accessory components.

A blowing device includes: a casing 20 which is connected to an air conditioner of a vehicle; a ventilation path 50 which is formed from an inlet 50c to an outlet 50d of the casing 20; a second inclined portion 52 which is provided on the side of the outlet 50d in the casing 20; an intermediate portion 53 which is formed between the inlet 50c and the second inclined portion 52; a wind direction variable member 40 that is provided in the ventilation path 50 and is able to change a wind direction of an inflow wind through the inlet 50c toward the intermediate portion 53 or the outlet 50d; and a cover member 90 that is provided with a hole portion 92 penetrating therethrough in an X direction and the cover member 90 is disposed in the +X direction in relation to an end portion of the second inclined portion 52 in the X direction.

A ventilator for a control device for a vehicle may include a stator having a plurality of coils and a rotor comprising a hollow cylinder. An impeller may include a plurality of blades, the impeller being coupled to the hollow cylinder such that a rotation of the hollow cylinder causes a rotation of the impeller. The hollow cylinder may have a plurality of magnets. The stator may partially encompasses the rotor.

A filter monitoring system for a filter in a vehicle air conditioner includes a first temperature sensor to detect an air temperature of intake air drawn into an air conditioner case through the filter, a second temperature sensor to detect an evaporator temperature of the evaporator, and a processor coupled to the first and second temperature sensors and coupled to a memory. The processor is configured to calculate an actual change-rate of the evaporator temperature while a compressor is in operation, calculate an expected change-rate of the evaporator temperature based on the air temperature and operation levels of a blower and the compressor by using predetermined data with a properly functioning filter, calculate a degradation degree of the filter by comparing the actual change-rate to the expected change-rate, and output a signal indicating degradation of the filter upon determining that the degradation degree is out of an acceptable range.

A HVAC apparatus for a vehicle having a fan unit with at least one impeller driven by a motor; a heat exchanger unit forming an air duct receiving air from the fan unit, wherein the heat exchanger unit comprises a heat exchanger having at least two different cooling regions with different working temperatures through which received air flows consecutively; and wherein the different working temperatures are controlled by a temperature control unit; and a plate-shaped housing accommodating the fan unit and the heat exchanger unit.

A drive device of a compressor, including an inverter circuit formed of a plurality of switching elements, a drive unit that switches the switching elements, a determination unit that, when the compression mechanism restarts, determines whether a pressure difference of the compression mechanism is equal to or above a predetermined value, a restart unit that sets a number of times that the switching elements are switched per unit time during an initial predetermined period when the compression mechanism begins to restart and controls the drive unit, where the restart unit sets the number of times that the switching elements are switched per unit time to be lower when the determination unit determines that the pressure difference is equal to or above the threshold as compared to when the determination unit determines that the pressure difference is less than the threshold.

A cooling device for a vehicle includes a mechanical fan configured to be driven by a driving force of the engine, an engine cooling heat exchanger disposed forward of the mechanical fan in a front-rear direction of the vehicle, a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger that are disposed forward of the engine cooling heat exchanger in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, a first electric fan that includes a first motor and cools the first heat exchanger, and a second electric fan that includes a second motor and cools the second heat exchanger. The first motor and the second motor are disposed forward of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, respectively, in the front-rear direction of the vehicle such that the first motor and the second motor do not overlap the coupling when viewed in a front direction of the vehicle.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of tube elements including a first tube segment and a second tube segment and at least one return bend connecting an end of the first tube segment the second tube segment such that the plurality of tube elements and the at least one return bend define a fluid flow path of the heat exchanger. The at least one return bend is positioned within a cavity isolated from a remainder of the heat exchanger.
