HVAC MODULE

An HVAC module for a vehicle includes a cooling unit to cool air that passes through the cooling unit and a heating unit to warm air that passes through the heating unit. The HVAC module has a housing having a plurality of airflow paths to guide the air that passes through the cooling unit or the heating unit. An upper discharge outlet temperature is indeterminate based on a temperature detected by a single temperature sensor in one of the plurality of airflow paths and a blend setting. The HVAC module includes a temperature sensor to determine a reference temperature of the air at a sensor location. The reference temperature is offset from a floor outlet temperature by a floor offset function of the blend setting. The reference temperature is offset from the upper discharge outlet temperature by an upper offset function of the blend setting.

VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING DEVICE

A vehicle air conditioning device (10; 10A; 10B) has a casing (20) configuring a temperature adjustment section (12; 12A; 12B). The casing (20) has provided in a position thereof opposed to an inflow surface (41) of a heat exchanger (40) a flow direction change section (30) which causes the flow direction of air led to the temperature adjustment section (12; 12A; 12B) from a duct section (13; 13A; 13B) to bend approximately 90 degrees and leads the air to the inflow surface (41). Guide portions (60, 70; 60A, 70A; 60B) smaller in area than the flow direction change section (30) as seen when directly facing the inflow surface (41) are provided in a heat exchanger upstream space (22) between the inner wall surface of the casing (20) and the inflow surface (41).

PASSENGER CABIN AIR CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS

A vehicle system includes: at least one of: a particulate matter sensor configured to measure an amount of particulate within a passenger cabin of a vehicle; and a volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensor configured to measure an amount of VOCs within the passenger cabin of the vehicle; and a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system including a blower; a blower control module configured to: operate the blower in a first direction and blow air into the passenger cabin of the vehicle; and based on at least one of the amount of particulate and the amount of VOCs within the passenger cabin of the vehicle, selectively operate the blower in a second direction that is opposite the first direction, thereby blowing air from within the passenger cabin out through the HVAC system.

09789748 · 2017-10-17 · ·

The invention relates to a motor vehicle passenger compartment heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning unit casing comprising at least: —an induction chamber (2) the peripheral wall of which forms a volute housing (12) and which is intended to accommodate an impeller of a motor-fan unit, —a distribution chamber (4) connected to an outlet (3) of the induction chamber (2), —distribution channels (5) connected to an outlet of the distribution chamber (4). According to the invention, the casing comprises an internal partition element (15) of which one face forms at least part of the volute housing (12) and of which the opposite face to the volute housing forms one wall of at least one distribution channel (5).

Air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle

An air conditioning system for conditioning the air of a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle comprises a housing with a first and a second flow conduit for conducting air and a coolant circuit with at least two heat exchangers, wherein a first heat exchanger is arranged in the first flow conduit and a second heat exchanger is arranged in the second flow conduit. The first heat exchanger can be operated independently of the operating mode as an evaporator and the second heat exchanger can be operated independently of the operating mode as a condenser. The housing comprises at least one air conduction device with which an air mass flow conditioned in the air conditioning system can be discharged into the environment. The coolant circuit is constructed with a heat exchanger which is arranged outside of the housing and can be operated as an evaporator or as a condenser.

APPARATUS OF MULTI-AIR MODE FOR VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

An apparatus of multi-air mode for a vehicle air conditioner includes: an air conditioner (HVAC) that is provided in a vehicle and supplies air into the vehicle, an air duct unit in communication with the air conditioner and provided to deliver air supplied from the air conditioner to the inside of the vehicle or to discharge it to the outside of the vehicle, and a multi-air discharge unit in which the air delivered from the air duct unit is discharged into the vehicle.

Vehicle HVAC system with cabin ventilation while parked

A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system includes a blower, a fresh-air valve, a bypass duct, and a bypass valve. The blower is configured to urge air to flow from an inlet to an outlet of the blower. The fresh-air valve is operable to provide a mixture of air drawn from an outside-air duct and a recirculated-air duct to the inlet. The fresh-air valve is operable to a recirculate position where the outside-air duct is substantially blocked from communicating with the inlet. The bypass duct is configured to couple the outlet to the outside-air duct. The bypass valve is located in the bypass duct and is operable to a closed position and an open position. The cabin is ventilated when the fresh-air valve is in the recirculate position, the bypass valve is in the open position, and the blower is operated to blow air out of the outside-air duct.

Vehicle-mounted temperature controller

A vehicle-mounted temperature controller has a first heat circuit and a refrigeration circuit. The first heat circuit has a first radiator exchanging heat with outside air, a first heat exchanger, and a first pump, and configured so that a first heat medium is circulated therethrough. The refrigeration circuit has the first heat exchanger discharging heat from the refrigerant to a first heat medium to make a refrigerant condense, a second heat exchanger absorbing heat to the refrigerant to thereby make the refrigerant evaporate and to cool an object to be cooled, and a compressor, and is configured so that the refrigerant circulates through the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and thereby a refrigeration cycle is realized. When the object to be cooled starts being cooled, the compressor is started up after the first pump is started up.
