An inspection system includes a thermal camera and an inspection processor. The thermal camera is mountable on a vehicle and configured to perform imaging of a heat transfer part of heating and cooling equipment mounted on the vehicle. The inspection processor is configured to execute, after causing the heating and cooling equipment to start operation, operation check inspection of determining whether the heating and cooling equipment normally operates on the basis of an image of the heat transfer part obtained by the imaging by the thermal camera, and to, in executing the operation check inspection, perform a modification process of modifying an imaging state of the thermal camera to enable the heat transfer part to be imaged by the thermal camera.

Various implementations include a device for monitoring gas that includes a sensor, a first conduit, a second conduit, a first valve, and a second valve. The sensor includes an inlet and outlet port and is configured to monitor a feature of the gas flowing through an HVAC unit. The first conduit includes a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end. The second end of the first conduit is in fluid communication with the inlet port of the sensor. The second conduit includes a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end. The first end of the second conduit is in fluid communication with the outlet port of the sensor. The first valve is upstream from and in fluid communication with the inlet port, and the second valve is downstream from and in fluid communication with the outlet port.

The present disclosure provides a photosensor structure including a left photosensor located at the left side of a front windshield of a vehicle viewed from the outside of the vehicle, and a right photosensor located symmetrically to the left photosensor. For example, the left photosensor includes two light reception windows located in a width direction of the vehicle to set a lateral incidence angle having a maximum incidence amount in a left-and-right direction of a light source, a dummy portion located on at least one of the two light reception windows between the two light reception windows to set an incidence altitude having a maximum incidence amount in an upward-and-downward direction of the light source, and light reception units located on lower ends of the light reception windows to measure the amount of light received from the light source through the light reception windows.

An electronic sensor assembly for a recreational vehicle may include a wired electronic sensor and a sensor cover supporting the wired electronic sensor on an interior wall. The sensor cover may include a cover sidewall, a cover faceplate, and a sensor clip arm. The cover sidewall may be in selective engagement with the interior wall. The cover faceplate may extend from the cover sidewall. The cover faceplate may have an outer surface direct outward from the interior wall and an inner surface directed inward toward the interior wall. The sensor clip arm may extend inward from the inner surface. The sensor clip arm may hold the wired electronic sensor within an interior volume defined by the cover sidewall and the cover faceplate.

A method for feedback of a temperature setting of an air-conditioning device involves adjusting a light color of at least one lighting element for the display of a set temperature. The adjusted light color corresponds to a temperature setting of an airflow zone in a motor vehicle.

The invention relates to an electric radiator (1) for a motor vehicle comprising a rigid frame housing heating elements (18) and radiating elements (12) through which an air flow can pass, the radiator being provided with a temperature measurement device (2) comprising at least one temperature sensor (4) and a support element (5) comprising at least one housing (51) for one or more temperature sensors (4) and an electric radiator attachment device, characterised in that the attachment device associated with the support element (5) comprises at least one snap-fastening element (6) configured to cooperate with one of the radiating elements (12) of the radiator (1).

The present invention relates to a fluid line system (10) for guiding fluid, in particular for a motor vehicle. The fluid line system (10) comprises a sensor device (20) for capturing sensor parameters and a housing (30), which has two or more housing parts (40, 60). Each housing part (40, 60) has a mounting surface area (50, 70) for arranging a further housing part (40, 60). The housing (30) further has a groove arrangement (80), which comprises at least one groove recess (90), which is arranged on a mounting surface area (50, 70), wherein a groove recess (90) has a groove opening (95), which opens out to the respective mounting surface area (50, 70). In any case, the groove opening (95) is closed by in a fluid-tight manner means of the mounting surface area (50, 70) of at least one further housing part (40, 60). It is attained thereby that a fluid duct (99), through which fluid can flow and through which fluid can be applied to the sensor device (20), is limited between the respective groove recess (90) and the respective mounting surface area (50, 70).

Methods and apparatus are provided for active vehicle cabin occupant protection system. The method includes detecting a vehicle cabin temperature using a cabin thermal sensor, engaging a vehicle fan and opening a vehicle outside air ventilation duct in response to the vehicle cabin temperature exceeding a first threshold temperature, and starting a vehicle engine and engaging a vehicle air conditioning system in response to the vehicle cabin temperature exceeding a second threshold temperature wherein the second threshold temperature is greater than the first threshold temperature.

A method and system for utilizing environmental data are described. The method includes receiving external environmental data and receiving in-cabin environmental data. A mitigation action for an in-cabin environment of a vehicle is provided. The mitigation action is based on the external environmental data and the in-cabin environmental data.

A detector testing system for testing a gas detector used in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, or refrigeration (HVAC\R) system including: a testing chamber configured to receive the gas detector through an orifice in the detector testing system, the testing chamber being configured to at least partially enclose the gas detector within the testing chamber; a receiving port fluidly connected to the testing chamber; and a target gas cartridge fluidly connected to the receiving port, wherein the target gas cartridge contains a known concentration of a target gas, wherein the receiving port is configured to deliver the target gas to the testing chamber.
