The invention relates to an air conditioning system (1) for the cooling of air, having an evaporator heat exchanger (61), through which the air to be cooled passes. A distributor structure (65) is arranged upstream of the evaporator heat exchanger (61) and uniformly distributes the air to be cooled over a side of the evaporator heat exchanger (61) facing it.

An internal heat exchanger (IHX) assembly for use in a vehicle includes at least three plates joined together to form two or more separate compartments or channels and at least one flat structure on an external surface of the IHX assembly. One compartment or channel contains a high pressure fluid and the other compartment or channel contains a low pressure fluid. The compartment or channel containing the high pressure fluid is in thermal communication with the compartment or channel containing the low pressure fluid, such that heat is transferred from the high pressure fluid to the low pressure fluid. The IHX assembly acts as a structural member in the vehicle upon which one or more refrigerant components are mounted onto the flat structure.

A windshield sunshade with solar powered fans including a foldable, pleated opaque panel including a plurality of panel section with at least two panel sections having a solar powered fan motor-blade unit centrally disposed in a recessed portion thereof. A shaft of each fan-motor blade unit is detachable from at least one of a yoke and a motor thereof to permit a casing along with vanes attached thereto to be detached from the respective panel section to fold the panel. Each fan motor-blade unit includes at least one solar module fixedly disposed on the outer side of the respective panel section power the motor. An on-off switch proximal each fan motor-blade unit in a position proximal the vehicle dashboard is provided. A protective front grill is disposed solely over the entire one of each recessed portion to protect against contact with the vanes of the fan motor-blade unit.

An air conditioner for a vehicle includes a first heat exchanger that exchanges heat between a refrigerant in a refrigeration cycle and a heat medium, a second heat exchanger that exchanges heat between air to be blown into a vehicle interior space and the heat medium, and a casing disposed in the vehicle interior space to form an air passage through which the air flows and to accommodate the second heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is disposed under the casing, and a partition wall for partitioning an engine room from the vehicle interior space is interposed between the first heat exchanger and the casing.

A seal for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a motor vehicle. The seal includes a first sealing portion, a second sealing portion, and a hinge disposed intermediate the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion. The seal is configurable in an unfolded position, wherein the first sealing portion, second sealing portion, and hinge are substantially aligned, and a folded position, wherein the second sealing portion overlaps the first sealing portion.

Provided is a conveyance seat in which a duct connected to a fan can be compactly disposed, and the fan is provided in a pan-frame-type seat cushion. The vehicle seat includes a seat cushion (S2) and a blower (48) provided in the seat cushion (S2). The seat cushion (S2) is provided with a plate-shaped pan frame (42). The blower (48) is provided below the pan frame (42), a duct (49) is connected to the blower (48), and an opening (42a) through which the duct (49) extends is formed in the pan frame (42).

Disclosed is an air conditioner for a vehicle which has inside air intake ports formed on the side surface of a cylindrical intake duct and the side surface of a cylindrical intake door so as to partially inhale inside air during an outside air inflow mode, thereby reducing manufacturing processes and manufacturing costs because there is no need to add a separate component for inhaling inside air in the outside air inflow mode, controlling intake amounts of outside air and inside air through a recess part formed on the outer circumferential surface of the intake door, and enhancing cooling and heating performance by partially inhaling inside air during the outside air inflow mode.

A heating, ventilation, and air cooling (HVAC) assembly including a blower, an air inlet, and a movable airflow obstruction member. The air inlet is defined by a housing. The blower receives airflow passing through the air inlet. The movable airflow obstruction member is movable to: a deployed position in which the airflow obstruction member is arranged to reduce airflow volume through the air inlet a first degree; a non-deployed position in which the airflow obstruction member is arranged to not reduce airflow volume through the air inlet; and an intermediate position in which the airflow obstruction member is arranged to reduce airflow volume through the air inlet a second degree that is less than the first degree.

Provided is an air-conditioning blower motor unit that includes: a brushless motor which has an output shaft to be coupled with an air-conditioning blower fan constituting an air conditioner; a circuit board configured to allow the brushless motor to be driven by a supply of electric power; a casing configured to house the brushless motor and the circuit board; and a base frame configured to support the circuit board and the output shaft. The circuit board on the base frame is disposed at a position eccentric with respect to the output shaft inside the casing.

A motor vehicle may have a cylindrical component having two grooves aligned orthogonally to a cylinder axis, recessed into local areas of a lateral surface, and running parallel to each other, and a blind hole in an end of the cylindrical component. A fastening component for the cylindrical component may include a holding device having a U-shaped socket and a head portion having a through opening. The holding device may be matched to the cylindrical component in such a way that the cylindrical component is positively insertable via the two grooves into the U-shaped socket until the blind hole in the end is in alignment with the through opening in the head portion of the holding device. The fastening arrangement may also have a fastening element that is insertable and screwable through the through opening in the head portion into the blind hole in the cylindrical component.
