A novel housing for an electronic device is located in the passenger compartment of a vehicle. The housing is used to maintain the temperature of the electronic device within its operating temperature range. The housing includes air inlets and outlets through which the temperature-regulated air current from the air conditioning system of the vehicle passes. The temperature-regulated air currents from the air conditioning system that are used to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment are also used to regulate the temperature of the electronic device. Thus, the housing allows the temperature of the electronic device to be regulated exclusively using the air current from the air conditioning system. The air duct from the air conditioning system can be connected directly to the housing or can end a distance from the housing so that the air current from the duct is directed to strike the outside of the housing.

A refrigeration system for a vehicle is provided and includes inside and outside condenser circuits. The inside condenser circuit includes a first valve receiving a first portion of refrigerant out of a compressor, and a cabin condenser receiving and condensing the first portion from the first valve while heating an interior of a cabin. The outside condenser circuit includes: a second valve receiving a second portion of the refrigerant out of the compressor; an outside condenser receiving and compressing the second portion from the second valve; a reservoir downstream from the cabin condenser and the outside condenser receiving the first and second portions; a heat exchanger downstream from the reservoir; and a bypass valve connected in parallel with the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger and the bypass valve receive portions of the refrigerant from the reservoir. A control module controls positions of the first, second and bypass valves.

A heat pump air-conditioning system includes a (HVAC) assembly, a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, and a first plate heat exchanger. The HVAC assembly includes an indoor condenser, an indoor evaporator, and an damper mechanism. The compressor communicates to the indoor condenser. The indoor condenser communicatees to the outdoor heat exchanger and further to the outdoor heat exchanger through a first enthalpy-increased branch. The outdoor heat exchanger communicates to the indoor evaporator and further to a moderate-pressure air inlet of the compressor through a second enthalpy-increased branch. The indoor evaporator communicates to a low-pressure air inlet of the compressor. The first enthalpy-increased branch and the second enthalpy-increased branch exchange heat by using the first plate heat exchanger. The second enthalpy-increased branch is provided with a first expansion valve. The outdoor heat exchanger is in communication with the first plate heat exchanger through the first expansion valve.

The present invention relates to a thermal management system including: a refrigerant circulation line including a compressor, a condenser, a first expander and an evaporator, wherein refrigerant circulates in the refrigerant circulation line; a heating line for heating the interior by circulating cooling water exchanging heat with the refrigerant through the condenser; and a cooling line for cooling heating sources by exchanging heat between the cooling water and air or exchanging heat between the cooling water and the refrigerant.

A component system for ventilating a trunk compartment area and a motor vehicle for the purpose of cooling at least one unit located in the trunk compartment area and a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger motor vehicle. The component system has a loading floor for storing objects, the trunk compartment area can be arranged below the loading floor, and a first component which delimits the trunk compartment area in sections, in particular a bodyshell component. Between the loading floor and the first component, at least one passage is arranged for guiding an air flow into the trunk compartment area.

A duct assembly for a work vehicle includes a fender duct that includes a body that extends between a first opening and a second opening. Furthermore, the fender duct flows fluid between the first opening and the second opening. The fender duct is positioned on a bottom side of the work vehicle and radially outward from a wheel of the work vehicle. The duct assembly for the work vehicle further includes an armor assembly positioned radially outward from the fender duct, such that the armor assembly forms a housing around the fender duct.

Provided is a high-voltage equipment cooling system for electric-powered vehicles, which is capable of cooling high-voltage equipment (an IPU herein) at an optimum air flow rate without impairing the air-conditioning state of a vehicle interior. This high-voltage equipment cooling system is equipped with an IPU cooling ECU with a control unit, which controls the air flow rate of an IPU fan on the basis of information related to the air blowing method for the IPU, information related to the air flow rate of a blower fan, information related to the selection of inside air circulation mode or outside air introduction mode by an HVAC, information related to the selection of one of air blowing modes by the HVAC, and information related to the air flow rate to be supplied to the IPU.

A structure for arranging a heat-generating electric component in an automobile has a heat-generating electric component, and a duct extending from an air conditioning unit. The heat-generating electric component and the duct are disposed between a seat and a floor surface of the automobile. An air outlet hole is formed in the heat-generating electric component, through which air on an inside of the heat-generating electric component is discharged to cool the inside. An exit of the duct is disposed near the air outlet hole of the heat-generating electric component.
