A vehicle cabin airflow forming device includes an airflow forming unit. The airflow forming unit is configured to form airflows circulating around seating space of a seat and form, as part of the airflows, an ascending airflow on one lateral side of the seating space, and a descending airflow on the other lateral side of the seating space. The seat is provided inside a vehicle cabin, and the airflows circulate around the seating space as viewed from a front side of the seat.

To improve a view of a side area from a cabin, the cabin mounted on a machine body includes a hollow rear pillar located on a rear portion of a side surface of the cabin. The rear pillar includes an interior opening through which an interior of the rear pillar is communicated with an interior of the cabin, and an exterior opening through which the interior of the rear pillar is communicated with an exterior of the cabin.

The invention relates to a heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning device (10) for a motor vehicle, which device comprises a housing (26), a cold air region (84), a hot air region (86), an evaporator (36) which is configured to provide a cold air stream (50) in the cold air region (84), and a heating element (34) which is configured to provide a hot air stream (48) in the hot air region (86). Furthermore, the device (10) has a one-piece cross-flow deflection device (38), which is covered by the housing (26) and comprises a mixing device (40) and a cover (42), wherein the mixing device (40) has a plurality of mixing chambers (52), each of which is provided for mixing a part of the cold air stream (50) and a part of the hot air stream (48). The cover (42) here separates the cold air region (84) and the hot air region (86) from each other at least in portions. Furthermore, the cover (42) has a fixing device (74) which is provided for fixing the heating element (34).

A flow restrictor element, especially for restricting the air flow in an air duct system of a vehicle, comprises a ring-shaped restrictor element carrier (12) to be arranged on a flow guide duct as well as at least one restrictor element (28). The at least one restrictor element (28) is arranged within the restrictor element carrier (12), radially inwardly in relation to a central axis (M) of the flow restrictor element (10) and is detachable from the restrictor element carrier (12) for changing a restriction cross-sectional area, wherein a locking device (16) is provided on an outer circumferential area (14) of the restrictor element carrier (12) for locking the restrictor element carrier (12) on a flow guide duct.

A refrigeration duct system configured for use in a transportation vehicle having a cargo space and a refrigerator unit, the cargo space having a ceiling and cargo doors at a rear end thereof. The refrigeration duct system includes an elongated refrigeration duct disposed adjacent to the ceiling of the cargo space having a proximal end and a distal end, the refrigeration duct including a plurality of cold air outlets arranged along the length of the duct in which each of the cold air outlets has a downstream edge transverse to the refrigeration duct. The duct also includes a plurality of curved flaps operably connected respectively to at least some of the plurality of cold air outlets at the downstream edge of the cold air outlets in which the curved flaps are configured to direct cold air from the refrigerator unit in a downward direction.

The disclosure relates to a fresh air device for a control unit of a road making machine. The fresh air device includes an element with at least one outlet opening for fresh air and a holder for the element, wherein the element is adjustable into different positions relative to the control unit by means of the holder.

A vehicle battery protection structure includes a vehicle frame member, a first duct, and a second duct. The vehicle frame member is disposed in a region including a battery. The vehicle frame member has a through hole. The battery is mountable on a vehicle. The first duct is disposed on an outside of the battery at a location oriented toward an outside of the vehicle. The second duct is inserted through the through hole of the vehicle frame member. The second duct is disposed to overlap the first duct in a vertical direction of the first duct on the outside of the battery at the location oriented toward the outside of the vehicle.

An air-conditioning system for air-conditioning a vehicle interior is disclosed. The air-conditioning system includes a blower for generating an air flow, a heating device for heating the air flow, and a ducting system that divides the air flow downstream of the heating device over at least two part air flows and supplies the at least two part air flows via associated ducts to associated air outlets, through which the part air flows exit into the vehicle interior. The heating device includes at least two separate regions each with at least one electric heating element that is separately controllable via a control device. The at least two separate regions are each permanently assigned one of the associated ducts of the ducting system.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative devices, systems, and vehicles for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) functions for an area remote from an HVAC system. In an illustrative embodiment, a device includes a seat having a first section of duct having a first end, a second section of duct couplable to the first section of duct, and a third section of duct couplable to the first section of duct. The second section of duct connects at a first end to an air supply source and at a second end to the first end of the first section of duct. The third section of duct includes an exhaust vent configured to direct air received from the air supply source in a direction aft of the seat.

An antimicrobial, injection molded air duct for use in an air distribution system which delivers air to a passenger cabin of a vehicle or into an enclosed space within a residential structure is provided. The air duct includes a hollow, injection molded housing having an air passageway for communicating airflow therethrough. The housing includes a layer of molded material which at least partially defines the passageway and which absorbs airborne liquid droplets containing infectious, disease-causing pathogens moving with the airflow. The molded material includes antimicrobial agents disbursed throughout the layer to reduce the number of pathogens contained within droplets absorbed by the layer.
