Disclosed is a blowing unit of an air conditioner for a vehicle, having a two-layer structure and capable of effectively suppressing a flow of air flowing backward around a scroll bell mouth. In a blowing unit of an air conditioner for a vehicle, having a scroll case in which a first flow path and a second flow path are partitioned so as to separate inside and outdoor air to be sucked, the scroll case has a partition wall for separating a suction part of the first flow path and a suction part of the second flow path, and the partition wall has an air backflow prevention part for preventing air flowing into one of the first flow path or the second flow path from flowing backward into the other.

A blower device includes a centrifugal fan that sucks air from one side of the blower device in an axial direction, and an air flow guide disposed between the centrifugal fan and the other side of the blower device in the axial direction. A first air flow from the centrifugal fan is bent toward the other side in the axial direction. A second air flow from the centrifugal fan is bent toward the other side in the axial direction, and then bent inward in the radial direction. A ratio of a pressure loss in the second air flow to a pressure loss in the first air flow before a downstream end of the air flow guide is smaller than a ratio of a pressure loss in the second air flow to a pressure loss in the first air flow before an upstream end of the air flow guide.

An air sterilization device for a vehicular air conditioner may include an air conditioner case, which includes an air inlet provided at an intake side of the air conditioner case and an air outlet provided at a discharge side of the air conditioner case and which includes an air path therein, a photocatalytic unit, which is configured to blow internal air or external air toward the air outlet of the air conditioner case and a surface of which is coated with a photocatalyst, and an optical source unit configured to radiate ultraviolet rays to the photocatalytic unit to thus cause a photocatalytic reaction at the photocatalytic unit, generating hydroxyl radicals.

A blower of an HVAC system includes an air inlet, an air outlet, a blower wheel with blades, a motor operable to cause the blower wheel to rotate, and a blower housing within which the blower wheel is positioned. The blower housing includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a connecting panel. The top panel and the bottom panel are connected to the connecting panel. The top panel includes a curved edge extending from a bottom edge of the connecting panel to a top edge of the connecting panel. An expansion angle of the curved edge of the top panel changes as a function of position along the curved edge of the top panel. The bottom panel may have a shape corresponding to a mirror image to that of the top panel.

A blower having a motor mount, in particular for a blower of an air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle, the blower having a blower housing, in which an electric motor is held with the aid of the motor mount, an impeller being furthermore drivably disposed in the blower housing on a shaft of the electric motor, the impeller having a side oriented toward the electric motor, and the motor mount having a first surface oriented toward the impeller, a gap being formed between the impeller and the first surface, the first surface having a plurality of first projecting elements, which protect on the outer circumference of the surface in the direction of the impeller.

A blower device and a vehicular air-conditioning device including a chamber for air flow so as to cool a motor, whereby water drops are prevented from reaching the motor with higher reliability. Included is a casing having an air intake port, an air discharge port, and a discharge flow path portion communicating between the air intake port and the air discharge port; a scroll fan provided in the casing to take in the air from the air intake port and generate an air flow to the air discharge port through the discharge flow path portion; a motor rotationally driving the scroll fan; and a motor cooling unit cooling the motor. The motor cooling unit includes a chamber for partial air flow from the discharge flow path portion and a cooling duct having an opening portion which opens into the chamber at one end and supplying air to the motor.

An air conditioning unit for a vehicle includes: an air conditioning case defining an in-case passage in which air flows to a vehicle interior; a cooler arranged in the air conditioning case and configured to cool the air flowing in the in-case passage; a blower that includes a blower motor and an impeller configured to be rotated by the blower motor and generate an air flow in the in-case passage; and a cooling passage portion defining a motor cooling passage in which air flows to cool the blower motor. The blower is arranged downstream of the cooler with respect to the air flow in the air conditioning case. The motor cooling passage includes a passage inlet located downstream of the impeller with respect to the air flow in the in-case passage, and a passage outlet located upstream of the impeller with respect to the air flow in the in-case passage.

A conditioned air blower system for ventilating a trailer interior includes a centrifugal blower and a heat exchange unit. The centrifugal blower includes a blower housing, an inlet portion configured to direct air into the blower housing, and a discharge portion configured to direct air from the blower housing into the trailer interior. The heat exchange unit includes an air inlet portion, heat exchange elements, and a conditioned air exit portion coupled to the inlet portion of the centrifugal blower. The heat exchange unit conditions ambient air introduced at the air inlet portion from a first temperature to a second temperature by heat exchange relationship with the heat exchange elements. The conditioned air blower system may include a controller operatively associated with the centrifugal blower. The controller monitors a condition related to the centrifugal blower, and regulates the supply of temperature-conditioned air in response to the condition.

Air conditioner for vehicle, small and having two independent air flow paths, controlling air volume independently for each air flow path, and can remove noise while regulating the air volume corresponding to the desired flow path through means for returning flowing air toward a suction port. The air conditioner for vehicle comprises a blower having a plurality of blower wheels, and one blower motor for driving the plurality of blower wheels with the same force, a plurality of inlet flow paths allowing an air inflow port to communicate with a blower inlet, and a return flow path which has a plurality of outlet flow paths allowing a blower outlet to communicate with an air discharge port, which returns, to the blower inlet, at least a part of the air discharged from the blower outlet so that the air volumes discharged from the plurality of air discharge ports are regulated differently.
