A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a vehicle. The HVAC system includes an airflow inlet case defining a fresh air inlet and a recirculation air inlet. The airflow inlet case includes an evaporator and a filter both aligned with an axis of rotation of a blower configured to draw airflow through the airflow inlet case into a heater case. The recirculation air inlet faces the heater case. The airflow inlet case is configured to be mounted on an engine side of a vehicle firewall such that the recirculation air inlet is at the firewall.

The present invention refers to a display unit. The display unit comprises at least a screen (105) for displaying visual information and an air conducting means (102) for conducting air from a source to the screen (105), wherein the conducting means (102) is configured to direct the air at least sectionaly along the screen (105), characterized by at least one deflection means (104) having a deflection surface for deflecting at least one part of the air directed at least sectionaly along the screen (105).

A front defroster nozzle includes a connecting portion connected to an air conditioner at a lower side of a central portion in a vehicle width direction of a front windshield, a nozzle lower portion provided at an upper side of the connecting portion, and a nozzle upper portion provided at an upper side of the nozzle lower portion, so as to slope towards a vehicle rear side, the nozzle upper portion having a blower aperture portion that extends in the vehicle width direction and opens at an upper end portion of the nozzle upper portion and at an instrument panel, and, when viewed in a cross-section taken along a vehicle front-rear direction, a blow-out angle formed between the nozzle upper portion and the front windshield is set such that the blow-out angle at both end portions in the vehicle width direction is larger than the blow-out angle at the central portion.

A vehicle interior panel includes a diffuser spanning an air discharge opening. The diffuser has a spiral slot formed therethrough such that changing an axial distance between opposite ends of the slot changes an air flow capacity of the diffuser. The diffuser has an elegant and simplified design and can be made as one piece from a sheet material. Air is discharged from the diffuser radially and substantially equally in all radial directions. The diffuser can also function to provide ambient light from a light source and/or to deliver an air freshening agent to the passenger cabin.

An air vent with a feed channel via which air can be fed, including a chamber to which the air can be supplied via the feed channel, and at least one air outlet via which the air can flow into the vehicle compartment. At least one movable partition is provided in the chamber, which partition can be moved into different positions by an adjustment device, in such a way that the airflow can be fed to at least one air outlet.

Disclosed is an air conditioning apparatus for a vehicle, the air conditioning apparatus being applicable to an autonomous vehicle, etc. having console removed therefrom by ensuring a lower space of a driver's seat in a front part of the vehicle and being capable of preventing condensate water from flowing backward. The air conditioning apparatus for a vehicle comprises: an air conditioning case having an air flow path formed therein and a plurality of air discharge ports; and a cooling heat exchanger and a heating heat exchanger provided in the air flow path of the air conditioning case and exchanging heat with the air passing through the air flow path, wherein the air discharge ports include a front seat air discharge port and a back seat air discharge port, and the back seat air discharge port is arranged under the heating heat exchanger in the direction of gravity.

Described herein is air distributing device for an air conditioning unit of a motor vehicle, the device including: a housing defining an air intake chamber, on the housing there being formed an air inlet, a central air outlet, and two side air outlets. The device also includes a drum flap mounted rotatably about an axis (z) orthogonal to a direction that goes from the air inlet to the central air outlet. The flap is movable between a first position, wherein the air inlet is closed by the flap; a second position, wherein the two side air outlets are closed by the flap and an air flow between the air inlet and the central air outlet is allowed; and a third position, wherein the central air outlet is closed by the flap and an air flow between the air inlet and the side air outlets is allowed.

A vehicle air conditioning device comprises an instrument panel, a door that includes an overlapping portion where part of the door overlaps with the instrument panel in a closed state of the door, and a door blower outlet that opens toward a vehicle cabin interior, a first opening that is open toward the door, a second opening that is open toward the instrument panel, an air conditioning unit body, a first duct that that has a length direction end portion connected to the first opening, a second duct that has a length direction end portion connected to the door blower outlet, and a fin member respectively provided at the first opening and the second opening.

In a vehicle, a flow adjusting plate is placed along an upper edge part of a front windshield, so that the flow of wind flowing along an inner surface of the front windshield is adjustable by the flow adjusting plate. Further, the angle of the flow adjusting plate from the inner surface is adjustable, so that the flow adjusting plate allows the direction of the wind flowing along the inner surface to be directed toward a seat placed behind an instrument panel in the vehicle front-rear direction.

A window vent system including a window vent having a unitary, one-piece panel body including a first panel portion and a second panel portion oriented generally parallel to the first panel portion. The first panel portion has a set of openings formed therein and the second panel portion has a set of openings formed therein. Each opening of the second panel portion is at least partially aligned with an opening of the first panel portion.
