A climate control system for a vehicle includes a front-end or first heat exchanger configured to thermally condition airflow from an environment external to a vehicle cabin, a rear-end or second heat exchanger configured to thermally condition airflow from the vehicle cabin, a recirculation path configured to return airflow from the second heat exchanger to the vehicle cabin, and an extraction path configured to vent airflow from the second heat exchanger to the environment external to the vehicle cabin. Various operational modes of the climate control system direct airflow to either the recirculation path or the extraction path.

A lower cam is mounted to a lower side of the center plate. The lower cam is rotatable by the motor. The upper cam and the lower cam are configured to rotate at different speeds and are configured to actuate linkages for moving the actuatable members.

A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) assembly for supplying different mixed air flows simultaneously is disclosed. The assembly includes first blend kinematics configured for allowing passage of a first air flow, second blend kinematics configured for allowing passage of a second air flow, obtaining means configured to obtain a temperature command indicating a target temperature for two different locations outside the HVAC assembly, identifying means configured to identify a pattern for the first blend kinematics and the second blend kinematics for modifying the first air flow and the second air flow based on the temperature command, and coordinating means configured to coordinate each of the first blend kinematics and the second blend kinematics simultaneously.

The invention relates to an air intake housing (21), in particular for a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning device, comprising: —at least two distinct air inlets (24, 26), and —air guiding members (27, 28, 30) configured to direct at least one air flow that is intended to be admitted into the air intake housing (21). According to the invention, the air guiding members comprise at least three flaps (27, 28, 30), one of these being a central flap (27) and two lateral flaps (28, 30) arranged one on each side of the central flap (27), said flaps (27, 28, 30) being positioned between the said two distinct air inlets (24, 26) of the air intake housing (21) so as to be able to move about a single axis of pivoting (33). The invention also relates to a suction blower (1) comprising such an air intake housing (21) and to a corresponding heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning device.

The invention relates to a sound-absorbent element for an air outlet, said air outlet comprising a housing with an air outlet opening and a connection to an air supply shaft, at least one sound-absorbent element being mounted in said housing and/or a housing of the air supply shaft, and said sound-absorbent element comprising a carrier that is connected to at least one layer of sound-absorbent material. Said at least one layer of sound-absorbent material comprises activated carbon, or at least one additional layer of activated carbon is applied to this layer of sound-absorbent material.

Technologies are provided for preventing a working fluid leak from pooling and thus diluting any leaked working fluid from air within a condenser and/or evaporator compartment of the CCU. This can include a computer-readable medium that stores executable instructions that, upon execution, prevent a working fluid leak from pooling within a climate-control unit (CCU) of a transport climate control system. This also includes detecting fulfillment of activation threshold conditions in connection with the CCU. Also, this includes activating a fan in at least one of a condenser unit and an evaporator unit included in the CCU to dilute leaked working fluid from air within the CCU. Further, this includes detecting fulfillment of de-activation threshold conditions and de-activation of an activated fan.

The present invention relates to refrigerated trucks, more particularly to a front-mounted external cold air intake system for a large refrigerated truck, including a refrigerated compartment, an indoor chiller unit, an outdoor chiller unit, a front-mounted air duct, air outlets, horizontal louvers, folding elbows, windshields, blade control knobs, filters, covers, wind deflectors and blades. In the front-mounted cold air intake system, the front-mounted air duct introduces outdoor cold air into the refrigerated compartment, and transmits and distributes the cold air through the air outlets. Moreover, the air window structures formed by the horizontal shutters, the folding elbows and the windshields are used for discharging air, so as to stabilize the pressure in the refrigerated compartment. The system of the present invention uses outdoor cold air to effectively cool the compartment allowing for energy saving of the refrigerated truck.

The vent apparatus includes: a transfer duct located inside an upper surface of an interior of a vehicle; a vent located at a portion of the transfer duct; a variable guide located adjacent to the vent; and a driver located at a first end of the variable guide, and configured to apply a driving force to the variable guide and insert the variable guide into a trim, and to change a shape of the variable guide based on the driving force such that a direction of air discharged through the vent is controlled.

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a vehicle. The HVAC system includes: an air-conditioning unit including a blower, a heater unit, and a cooling unit, and a temperature adjustment door making conditioned-air pass through the heater unit or the cooling unit; and an air-conditioning channel unit including a plurality of discharge channels, through which the conditioned-air is discharged from the air-conditioning unit to specific seats or interior air is returned to the specific seats. The air-conditioning channel unit further includes doors disposed in the plurality of discharge channels so as to control discharging of the conditioned-air to the specific seats and returning of the conditioned-air from the specific seats to re-circulate.
