A motor vehicle ventilation system configured to ventilate a cabin of the vehicle. The ventilation system comprises a duct extending about a perimeter of the vehicle cabin, at least one air flow inducer configured to induce a flow of air through the duct, the duct comprising an air inlet to receive a bulk flow of air from the flow inducer, and a first opening that extends about the perimeter of the vehicle cabin and that receives air from the duct. The first opening is configured to expel air into the vehicle cabin. The ventilation system further comprises a second opening that extends about the perimeter of the vehicle cabin and that draws air in from the vehicle cabin into a passage extending about the perimeter of the vehicle cabin, wherein a flow through the first opening entrains a flow from the second opening.

A housing (30) to be mounted on a motor vehicle door (4) is disclosed. The housing includes a first air inlet (35) for admitting a first air stream (FR) into the housing (30), an air outlet (36), a chamber (37), delimited by at least one partition (38), arranged inside the housing (30), a second air inlet (39) for directly admitting a second air stream (FE) into the chamber (37), the first air inlet (35), the chamber (37) and the air outlet (36) being fluidically connected. According to the invention, the housing (30) comprises at least one movable flap (64, 74, 78). Also disclosed is an assembly of a door (4), comprising a housing support (61), and of such a housing (30).

An apparatus allows for the distribution of air over a wider range of area. That apparatus includes a telescoping duct assembly, having an inner duct section received for sliding movement in an outer duct section, a receiver in the inner duct section, an elongated port in the outer duct section and an air register held in the receiver and projecting through the elongated port.

An in-vehicle fan system for use in a vehicle or home comprises a main body and a fan connected to the main body. The in-vehicle fan system further comprises a shroud arranged over the fan and connected to a first surface of the main body. A filter housing is connected to a second surface of the main body of the in-vehicle fan unit. The in-vehicle fan unit further comprises a first flange extending from or near a first end of the main body and a second flange extending from or near a second end of the main body. The in-vehicle cooling system may allow for the operator of the vehicle to cool the interior of the vehicle without running the engine of the vehicle.

An air duct includes an inlet and an outlet that are interconnected with one another by a curved intermediate portion. A plurality of chambers are disposed within the curved intermediate portion. Each chamber of the plurality of chambers includes a first end opening into the inlet and a second end opening into the outlet. An enclosed body portion interconnects the first and second ends of each chamber. The curved intermediate portion further includes a first cross-sectional configuration disposed at a first portion of the curved intermediate portion, and a second cross-sectional configuration that is different from the first cross-sectional configuration disposed at a second portion of the curved intermediate portion. The second portion of the curved intermediate is disposed downstream from the first portion of the curved intermediate portion. The air duct directs airflow in a demisting sequence and is further contemplated to be formed using an additive manufacturing process.

A vehicle interior panel includes a thermoelectric air conditioner capable of providing conditioned air locally within a passenger cabin of the vehicle. Air is drawn from the passenger cabin through an intake port in the panel, conditioned locally along a back side of the panel by a thermoelectric device, and discharged back into the cabin through a discharge port in the panel. Additional air flows along a waste side of the thermoelectric device and can be discharged outside the passenger cabin. The panel can be an interior door panel from which the waste side air is discharged within a B-pillar of the vehicle body.

The present invention relates to an air conditioning system for a vehicle in which an air-conditioning module having an air-conditioning case and a blower unit is disposed at a side of an engine room relative to a dash panel, and a distribution duct having a defrost vent, a face vent, and a floor vent is disposed in the interior of a vehicle relative to the dash panel so as to distribute cold air and hot air discharged from the air-conditioning case into the interior of the vehicle, wherein the floor vent is placed on one side of an area, in which a relatively large amount of hot air flows, in a mixing chamber of the distribution duct where cold air and hot air are mixed, i.e. a side adjacent to the dash panel.

A ventilation device for the inside of a motor vehicle, having at least one air outflow element and at least one associated directional element. The at least one air outflow element is provided in a functional arrangement with an air channel element. The air channel element represents the connection to a supply device as part of an air conditioning system. At least one light element is also provided. The arrangement of the at least one directional element and the at least one air outflow element work together so that the ventilation device can be continuously adjusted at least between two inside ventilation conditions. The at least two ventilation conditions respectively differ at least by means of a direction of outflowing air directed directly into the inside and directed indirectly along a roof liner designed for this reason in relation to a seat region of the motor vehicle.

A system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a door having interior and exterior sides, at least one inlet in the interior side, at least one outlet in the exterior side, and a door protector mechanism to move a protector relative to the door. At least one pressure relief valve is in communication with the inlet and outlet, and is mechanically linked for movement with the protector. A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, mechanically linking at least one pressure relief valve for movement with the protector such that the pressure relief valve opens in response to the door beginning to open.

An air conditioner is used in a vehicle that includes a seat configured to be switchable between a first state in which a front end side part of a seat portion is located at a front of the vehicle with respect to a backrest portion, and a second state in which the front end side part of the seat portion is located at a different position from a position of the front end side part in the first state. The vehicle air conditioner includes an air-conditioning unit, and an air outlet configured to blow air from the air-conditioning unit. The vehicle air conditioner also includes a blowing passage member defining a blowing passage that guides the air blown from the air outlet to an upper side of the seat portion when the seat is in the second state.
