A ventilation assembly for a vehicle includes a duct disposed between a seating assembly and a vehicle floor having a first end with a first opening disposed at a first area of the vehicle and a second end with a second opening disposed at a second area of the vehicle. An air mover is disposed at one or more of the first and second ends of the duct, wherein the air mover is operable to move air along the duct.

In a situation where a temperature in a motor compartment is higher than a temperature of outside air, an inside air introduction rate increasing control is performed in which an inside air introduction rate is changed to be increased on a condition that there is no request for warming an inside of the vehicle cabin, the air conditioner is off, and air is being blown in an outside air introduction mode, and on the other hand, the inside air introduction rate increasing control is prohibited on a condition that there is a request for warming the inside of the vehicle cabin, the vehicular air conditioner is off, and air is being blown in the outside air introduction mode. In this way, heating efficiency can be improved by effectively utilizing the heat in the motor compartment to contribute to warming the inside of the vehicle cabin.

An vehicle structure may include: a floor panel; a front crossmember disposed on the floor panel and below a front seat of a vehicle, and extending along a vehicle width direction; a rear crossmember disposed on the floor panel and rearward of the front crossmember, spaced apart from the front crossmember, and extending along the vehicle width direction; a center console disposed above the floor panel at a center of the floor panel in the vehicle width direction; and an air duct extending from the center console over the front crossmember and being open toward a position above the rear crossmember between the front seal and the floor panel.

An air conditioning unit for a vehicle includes: a heat exchanger arranged in an engine compartment partitioned by a fire wall from a cabin; a first case arranged in the engine compartment to house the heat exchanger; and a second case arranged in the cabin to send air from the heat exchanger into the cabin. The fire wall has: a through hole passing through the fire wall so as to connect the first case and the second; and an air passage hole that defines an air passage to send air from the cabin into the engine compartment. The heat exchanger is arranged so that an entire area of the air passage hole is located inside a projection area defined by projecting the heat exchanger from a front to a rear of the vehicle.

A lining component for lining a passenger cell of a motor vehicle is multifunctional. The lining component has at least one acoustic resonator which is open towards the passenger cell and/or at least a fluid chamber through which a temperature control medium is flowable.

A movable body has a monitoring device that monitors a surrounding environment of the movable body through a window member. The movable body includes a heating device that heats a portion of the window member within a monitoring area of the monitoring device, an air conditioning device, and a control device. The monitoring device includes a detector that detects the surrounding environment, and a base member that faces an inner wall of the window member and is disposed such that a detection surface of the detector is located within a space between the base member and the window member. The space is in communication with the inside of the movable body, and the control device sets the driving force of the air conditioning device to be greater when a decrease in heating performance of the heating device is detected.

An air conditioner for a vehicle is provided and includes a dryer which is connected to an indoor air conditioner that adjusts the temperature and humidity within a vehicle. The air conditioner simultaneously dries a dry subject such as clothes, shoes or the like.

An electric-vehicle-body structure includes a floor panel constituting a floor of an occupant space, a center frame disposed to be higher than and away from the floor panel at a vehicle-width-direction central portion of the occupant space, extending in a front-rear direction, and including a bend portion at an intermediate portion, and a connecting member connecting the bend portion to the floor panel.

A vehicle-body structure may include a floor panel, a center frame disposed to be higher than and away from the floor panel, and an air-conditioning device. The air-conditioning device may include an air distribution portion that is positioned higher than a front portion of the center frame and distributes generated air-conditioned air to each portion of an occupant space, and under-feet ducts that guide air-conditioned air to a lower side. The under-feet ducts each may extend downward from the upper side of the center frame through a vehicle-width-direction outer side of the center frame.

A recreational vehicle and an air conditioner therefor are provided. The air conditioner includes an indoor cover defining an indoor portion and an outdoor portion with an outdoor heat exchanger and an outdoor fan disposed in the outdoor portion and an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan disposed in the indoor portion. The air conditioner also includes an indoor panel defining an air inlet and an air outlet. An acoustic insert includes a solid top wall and at least one permeable side wall. The acoustic insert is positioned between the indoor panel and the indoor fan, whereby the acoustic insert dampens sound transmitted through the indoor panel.
