A system for cooling a plurality of electrical equipment components inside a mobile platform may include at least one manifold and a plurality of flexible tubing ducts. The manifold may have an outlet, and a plurality of inlet tubing connections in fluid communication with the outlet. The outlet may be coupled to an interface of a cooling system of the platform by exhaust tubing. Each of the flexible tubing ducts may have a proximal end and a distal end. Each proximal end may be selectively connectable to the inlet tubing connections. Each distal end may have an air intake port that is alternatively positionable in two or more thermal dissipation zones of the electrical equipment components for permitting an exhaust profile inside the platform to the interface to be reconfigured based at least in part on respective positions of the electrical equipment components.

A vehicle air-conditioning apparatus includes a casing that defines an air passage through which an air flows, and a blower that has a blower fan generating an airflow in the air passage. The vehicle air-conditioning apparatus includes an air-conditioning device that is provided in the air passage, and an air introduction member that introduces an air from a vehicle compartment. The vehicle air-conditioning apparatus further includes an aspirator that is located outside the casing and takes in the air flowing through the air passage as a first air, the aspirator drawing the air from the vehicle compartment as a second air through the air introduction member by using a flow of the first air. A cooling target mounted in the vehicle is cooled by a flow of the air drawn from the vehicle compartment by the aspirator through the air introduction member.

Heat exchangers, such as radiators, condensers, or other cooling systems, are provided in the present disclosure. Heat exchanging systems may include an assembly for routing cooling conduits from the heat exchanger, along or through one or more A-pillars of the vehicle, and to a rooftop electronics assembly, which may be used for performing self-driving functions when the vehicle is configured as an autonomous vehicle or the like. The conduit routing assembly enhances manufacturing efficiency and cost effectiveness as compared to conventional assemblies. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an assembly for cooling a rooftop electronics assembly of a vehicle may include one or more conduits configured to transport a cooling fluid between an in-vehicle cooling system and the rooftop electronics assembly, wherein the one or more conduits are disposed partially along an A-pillar of the vehicle.

The subject matter described in this specification is directed to systems and methods for dissipating heat from electronic components supporting autonomous vehicle systems. In particular, the specification describes how the electronic components can be positioned in a duct through which conditioned cabin air can be drawn to convectively dissipate heat from the electronic components.

A vehicle air-conditioning apparatus that exhibits improved energy saving performance is provided. In addition, a vehicle with such a vehicle air-conditioning apparatus is provided. The vehicle air-conditioning apparatus includes a cooler provided in a first air passage, and a first air-sending device including a motor and a fan provided in the first air passage, and configured to drive the fan with the motor to thereby generate an airflow that flows into a vehicle interior through the first air passage. At least a part of an outer surface of the motor is located outside the first air passage.

The present invention provides an air conditioning system for a vehicle, which includes an evaporator mounted in a cold air passageway and a condenser mounted in a warm air passageway inside an air-conditioning case to perform cooling and heating, and protecting means for surrounding a plurality of electronic units mounted on the outer surfaces of the air-conditioning case and blowers, thereby preventing breakdowns and malfunctions by preventing foreign matters or water from entering into the electronic units.
