The present disclosure generally relates to providing climate control within a vehicle. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to using an infrared (IR) heating module having one or more IR panels installed within a roof of a passenger cabin, the IR panel(s) configured to radiate heat to passengers within the vehicle at a low power. Vehicles having the IR heating module installed with various IR panel configurations within the roof are also provided. In addition, programs and instructions embodied within a computer or software program stored on a non-transitory machine-readable medium and executed by the controller of the IR heating module are provided.

A recreational vehicle air conditioner (RVAC) includes a ceiling-mount cover panel and a control box. The control box includes a first box portion and a second box portion. The first box portion is positioned above the ceiling-mount cover panel. The second box portion is connected to the first box portion with a hinge. The second box portion is pivotable between a closed configuration and an open configuration on the hinge. The second box portion is nested with the first box portion in the closed configuration, and the second box portion is pivoted away from the first box portion on the hinge in the open configuration. An electronic control panel is mounted to the second box portion of the control box.

Present embodiments relate to a heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) system which is used in both fixed and mobile structures, and which has a luminaire disposed in the HVAC to provide illumination therefrom. The luminaire may be a single continuously on light or it may be a flashing light with one or more patterns. The light may emit a single or multiple colors. The light may also have a flashing sequence which corresponds to audio. The light may be wired to a switch and/or may be controlled by a smart device in wireless communication with the HVAC system.

A ventilation device for the inside of a motor vehicle, having at least one air outflow element and at least one associated directional element. The at least one air outflow element is provided in a functional arrangement with an air channel element. The air channel element represents the connection to a supply device as part of an air conditioning system. At least one light element is also provided. The arrangement of the at least one directional element and the at least one air outflow element work together so that the ventilation device can be continuously adjusted at least between two inside ventilation conditions. The at least two ventilation conditions respectively differ at least by means of a direction of outflowing air directed directly into the inside and directed indirectly along a roof liner designed for this reason in relation to a seat region of the motor vehicle.

A headliner system includes a plurality of segments connected together and outlining a central opening and a central section received in the central opening. The central section is selected from a group of central sections consisting of a multisection panel incorporating an overhead airbag grid system, a panel incorporating a fold down display panel and a panel incorporating a pull down divider.

An air conditioning control system includes: an air conditioner that blows wind at a set temperature into an interior of a cabin of a vehicle; an information acquisition unit that acquires distance measurement information inside the cabin from a front reference position in the cabin; a position acquisition unit that acquires a three-dimensional position of a head of a passenger inside the cabin based on the distance measurement information; and a control unit that controls an air blowing direction of the air conditioner based on at least the position acquired by the position acquisition unit.

A sun visor module includes: a base portion which has an accommodating space formed therein and a front portion provided at the ceiling of a front seat of a vehicle in an openable or closable form; a sun visor portion which is provided at the center of the inside of the base portion and slides in or out through the front portion of the base portion; a screen-shaped awning portion which is provided at a lower portion of the inside of the base portion to be entered in or out to the front portion of the base portion; an air discharge portion which is connected with an A-pillar of the vehicle to introduce the wind flowing in the A-pillar into the base portion; and a first blowing portion which communicates with the rear lower portion of the base portion to send the wind to the inside of the vehicle.

In order to provide a motor vehicle, the roof of which is composed of a transparent material at least in some sections, wherein persons located in the motor vehicle are cooled by means of escaping air, air outlet openings are formed on both sides on opposite roof frame longitudinal segments, in each case in accordance with the number of seat rows. Air lines are provided, which convey air conditioned by at least one present air conditioning system to at least one air outlet opening. Sensors that detect occupancy of the present seats by a person are provided, and a controller for the present air conditioning system is provided, which adjusts an air conditioning system from the number of present air conditioning systems in such a way that an air flow having a predetermined temperature and having a predetermined air outlet speed is applied to an upper region of a person located on a seat.

Recreational vehicles are provided with a tapered duct connector and/or a conditioned air receiving sleeve that is positioned in an infra-ceiling space of the vehicle. The tapered duct connector comprises a connector inlet coupled to a conditioned air passage on a wall of the conditioned air receiving sleeve, and a connector outlet coupled to the supply duct, to fluidly couple the sleeve to the supply duct. The tapered duct connector comprises a transitional duct height that increases from the connector outlet to the connector inlet. The conditioned air passage of the conditioned air receiving sleeve, the tapered duct connector, and the supply duct is contained such that air can pass from the conditioned air opening of the conditioned air receiving sleeve, through the conditioned air receiving sleeve, and into the supply duct without contacting structural components in the infra-ceiling space of the recreational vehicle.

A HVAC apparatus for a vehicle having a fan unit with at least one impeller driven by a motor; a heat exchanger unit forming an air duct receiving air from the fan unit, wherein the heat exchanger unit comprises a heat exchanger having at least two different cooling regions with different working temperatures through which received air flows consecutively; and wherein the different working temperatures are controlled by a temperature control unit; and a plate-shaped housing accommodating the fan unit and the heat exchanger unit.
