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.

Disclosed herein is an air conditioner for a vehicle, which can perform a bleeding function to discharge air to a rear seat floor vent in a rear seat vent mode, and optimize the size of an outlet and the shape of doors to adjust a bleeding amount of a rear seat floor. The air conditioner for a vehicle, which includes an air-conditioning case having an air passageway formed therein, and a heat exchanger for cooling and a heat exchanger for heating which are disposed in the air passageway of the air-conditioning case to exchange heat with air passing the air passageway, includes: a front seat temp door for adjusting the degree of opening between a front seat cold air passageway and a part of a warm air passageway; a first rear seat temp door arranged between the heat exchanger for cooling and the heat exchanger for heating to adjust the degree of opening of another part of the warm air passageway; and a rear seat mode door for adjusting the degree of opening of a rear seat air outlet, wherein the rear seat mode door has a rear seat closing function to close an air flow to a rear seat air outlet, and has a bypass part to bleed some of air.

An HVAC system for a vehicle includes a first shell, an opposing second shell, and a divider disposed between the first shell and the second shell. The system further includes a first conduit defined between the first shell and a first side of the divider, and a first door disposed in the first conduit and configured to control a volume flow rate in the first conduit. The system further includes a second conduit defined between the second shell and a second side of the divider opposing the first side, and a second door disposed in the second conduit and configured to control a volume flow rate in the second conduit.

A rear air-conditioning controller can execute limitation on the volume of air to a rear side of a vehicle cabin when a first condition is satisfied. The first condition is a condition where a grille shutter upper or a grille shutter lower is stuck in an open state and a defroster function is in an on state.

A car air conditioning system has a pneumatic circuit to feed an air flow into a passenger compartment of a vehicle, and a cooling circuit to cool the air flow fed along the pneumatic circuit; the pneumatic circuit being provided with a three-way joint, which has an inlet connected to a first pneumatic duct, a first outlet connected to a second pneumatic duct, a second outlet communicating with the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and a shutter, which is movable from and to a closing position, wherein the inlet is separate from the two outlets.

A fixed frame supports a movable seat structure. The movable seat structure is configured to move relative to the fixed frame. An air duct supported by the fixed frame supplies an air vent positioned on a rearward side of the fixed frame with air. Movement of the movable seat structure relative to the fixed frame has no effect on the position or orientation of the air vent.

A method comprises detecting particulates generated from a cooking device of a vehicle. In response to detecting the particulates from the cooking device, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of the vehicle is activated. This causes the HVAC system to dispel the particulates from the vehicle. Aspects also include lowering a window and repositioning air vents of the HVAC system to further facilitate dispelling particulates and helping to prevent particulates from entering the vehicle during use of the cooking device.

A motor vehicle having an interior compartment which is at least partially enclosed by windows is provided. At least one windshield or one side window or one rear window is assigned an aerodynamic device which is designed to, when an air flow impinges on the aerodynamic device, generate turbulence at a surface, facing toward the interior compartment, of the window. The aerodynamic device is also provided.

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 vehicle component (1) has a lid (2) for closing a trunk (102). The lid (2) has an air duct opening (3) for letting in and/or letting out an air flow to or from an air duct (4). The air duct opening (3) has a visual screen installation (5) with two visual screen elements (15, 25) formed with passage openings (6). The passage openings (6) are disposed to be mutually offset so that a view into the air duct opening (3) is restricted.
