An inlet subassembly for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The inlet subassembly includes a divider defining a first airflow path and a second airflow path on opposite sides of the divider. The first airflow path extends from a first side of the recirculation air inlet and a first side of the fresh air inlet. The second airflow path extends from a second side of the recirculation air inlet and a second side of the fresh air inlet. A first inlet door is movable to control airflow into the first airflow path from the first side of the recirculation air inlet or the first side of the fresh air inlet. A second inlet door is movable to control airflow into the second airflow path from the second side of the recirculation air inlet or the second side of the fresh air inlet.

Provided is a vehicular air conditioner including: an air-conditioning case that has an upper passage and a lower passage which are partitioned by an upper and lower partition plate therebetween; a heating unit that is disposed over the upper passage and the lower passage; an upper passage partition plate that is disposed downstream of the heating unit of the upper passage and forms a guide passage that guides a portion of air, which has passed the heating unit, toward an upper and lower connection opening that connects the upper passage and the lower passage; and a guide passage opening/closing unit that closes the guide passage in a state where the upper and lower connection opening is closed.

The present disclosure provides a power transmission device in which stress is reduced and a vehicle air-conditioning device. An air-conditioning device has an inside/outside air door. A power transmission device drives the inside/outside air door. The power transmission device has a motor, a gear train, and a cam mechanism. A first gear of the gear train provides a rotatable member. A plurality of lock mechanisms is provided, which stops a rotation of the first gear at one end and/or the other end in a rotation direction of the first gear. The plurality of lock mechanisms provide a plurality of contacts between the first gear and a stationary link cover.

A zone assembly for a vehicle includes a housing and a generally cylindrical mode door. The housing includes a cavity, an inlet channel, a first vent channel, and a second vent channel. Each of the channels is fluidly coupled to the cavity. The mode door includes a plurality of louvers and a plurality of extension pieces extending therefrom. The mode door is located in the cavity. The mode door is rotatable between an open position in which fluid may flow from the inlet channel through the mode door to one of the first vent channel or the second vent channel, and a closed position in which the mode door restricts fluid from flowing from the inlet to both the first vent channel and the second vent channel.

An apparatus allows for the distribution of air over a wider range of area. That apparatus includes a telescoping duct assembly, having an inner duct section received for sliding movement in an outer duct section, a receiver in the inner duct section, an elongated port in the outer duct section and an air register held in the receiver and projecting through the elongated port.

An airflow turning device with airflow control channels for an outlet of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) case that directs airflow to a plurality of different vehicle outlets. The airflow control channels extend from an inner upstream side of the outlet to an outer downstream side of the outlet. Different ones of the plurality of channels have different lengths to generate a varied pressure drop at the outer downstream side in response to airflow blown into the plurality of channels from the inner upstream side.

A motor-vehicle includes one or more electrically-operated valves, arranged on the structure of the motor-vehicle in a lower position with respect to the windows, for providing a communication between a passenger compartment and the external environment, and one or more electronic control units programmed to activate a ventilation mode of the passenger compartment when the motor-vehicle is parked with the engine off, even with the driver outside the vehicle. The ventilation mode includes controlling at least partial opening of one or more windows and the opening of one or more of the valves to generate a flow of natural air from the bottom upwards through the passenger compartment of the motor-vehicle.

A ventilation member of the present disclosure comprises: a support having a through hole that serves as an air passage between inside and outside of a housing upon attaching the support to an opening of the housing; and an air-permeable membrane disposed on the support and closing the through hole. The support comprises: a supporting portion in which the through hole is provided and at which the air-permeable membrane is disposed, and an insertion portion extending from the supporting portion and having an end with a hook, wherein the insertion portion bends in a direction closer to a central axis of the ventilation member while the hook is passing through the opening by being inserted into the opening, and fixes the ventilation member to the opening with the hook engaging the housing after passing through the opening. The ventilation member has a stopper portion with which bending of the insertion portion in the direction is restricted within an elastically deformable range of the insertion portion during the insertion into the opening. A ventilation member of the present disclosure can be reliably fixed to an opening of a housing with the insertion portion, even when the insertion portion is inserted into the opening at an angle.

The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle, which includes a cold air passageway and a warm air passageway, and two blowers disposed in the air passageways, thereby rapidly ventilating the interior of the vehicle using the two blowers.

A vehicle is provided herein. The vehicle includes a windshield positioned between an instrument panel and a headliner. A duct is positioned above the headliner and has an inlet and an outlet. An air conditioning system is configured to push conditioned air out of the instrument panel generally toward the inlet. A fan is proximate the inlet and is configured to draw the conditioned air into the inlet and push the conditioned air out of the outlet toward a vehicle window proximate the outlet.
