20180015809 · 2018-01-18 ·

An air conditioning system for mounting on a vehicle roof includes a condenser module and an evaporator module. The condensor module includes an inlet for receiving a compressed fluid, a heat exchanger for condensing the fluid and transferring heat from the fluid, and an outlet for releasing the condensed fluid. The evaporator module includes a deformable base for placement on the roof, that conforms to the roof's curvature. The evaporator module also includes an inlet receiving the cooled condensed fluid from the condensor outlet, an expansion valve for vaporizing the fluid, a heat exchanger for transferring heat to the vaporized fluid, and an outlet for returning the heated vaporized fluid to the condenser module via a compressor. The evaporator module also includes an interchangeable end plate connected to an end of the base, which maintains the base in a shape that conforms to the curvature of the roof.

OVERHEAD AMBIENT AIR CONTROL SYSTEMS

Overhead passenger comfort modules are provided with a module segment having a support frame member which includes a perimetrical trim frame member, and a ventilation system supported by the support frame member. The ventilation system includes a supply conduit adapted to being fluid-connected to a supply of ventilation air, and first and second branch conduits fluid-connected at one end to the supply conduit and terminating in elongate first and second ventilation openings at first and second edge regions of the support frame member. First and second concavely curved edge diffuser portions are provided which are adjacently positioned to and spaced from the first and second ventilation openings respectively. Ventilation air discharged from the first and second ventilation openings will therefore impinge on the concavely curved first and second edge diffuser portions so as create a diffused volume of air which envelops substantially a passenger seated therebelow and establish a personal ambient air zone for the passenger.
