The disclosure relates to a fresh air device for a control unit of a road making machine. The fresh air device includes an element with at least one outlet opening for fresh air and a holder for the element, wherein the element is adjustable into different positions relative to the control unit by means of the holder.

A device for removing particulates includes an outflow opening and a fan that delivers air through the outflow opening. An air curtain is formed in front of a mouth and nose region of a person by the air delivered by the fan and which is directed in a targeted manner to remove particulates. The device has a collection element with at least one capture opening opposite the outflow opening. A least part of the air curtain, which runs in a plane stretched through transverse and vertical directions of a motor vehicle, is captured by the capture opening to remove at least a part of the particulate.

A vehicle battery protection structure includes a vehicle frame member, a first duct, and a second duct. The vehicle frame member is disposed in a region including a battery. The vehicle frame member has a through hole. The battery is mountable on a vehicle. The first duct is disposed on an outside of the battery at a location oriented toward an outside of the vehicle. The second duct is inserted through the through hole of the vehicle frame member. The second duct is disposed to overlap the first duct in a vertical direction of the first duct on the outside of the battery at the location oriented toward the outside of the vehicle.

A road vehicle having: a passenger compartment in which a transmission tunnel is present, a right rear seat and a left rear seat; and an air conditioning system of the passenger compartment. The air conditioning system has: a rear body that is arranged in the centre of the passenger compartment at the transmission tunnel and in front of the rear seats; two air vents that are obtained in the rear body and are arranged side by side one towards the right and one towards the left, respectively; an air treatment unit that is connected to the two air vents; a single common supply duct that originates from the air treatment unit; a bifurcation that connects the common supply duct to the two air vents; a blade that is arranged in the area of the bifurcation and is movable between a completely closed position of a right branch of the bifurcation and a completely closed position of a left branch of the bifurcation; and an electric actuator configured to move the blade.

A utility vehicle is described having front and rear passenger area, and an HVAC system provides treated air to both front and rear areas. The front area includes a tunnel extending longitudinally rearwardly, and a low profile duct extends within the tunnel to communicate treated air to the rear passenger area. The frame has been modified to mount a drive shaft carrier bearing to maximize the arear under the tunnel for hose routing. The frame has been modified to maximize the ingress area for the foot of the rear passenger. The frame has been modified to better seal the vehicle when doors are utilized.

A moving console for a vehicle may include a housing being configured for linear sliding on a vehicle body; a moving duct mounted in the housing and being configured for linear sliding together with the housing; a connecting duct being configured for linear sliding relative to the leaner sliding of the moving duct and to supply air received from a fixed duct fixed to the vehicle body to the moving duct; and a locking device configured to lock or unlock the connecting duct at a position where an entrance of the connecting duct fluidically communicates with the fixed duct.

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.

A vehicle-body structure may include 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 and extending in a vehicle front-rear direction, and a control device configured to control a control target unit mounted on an automobile. The control device may be arranged at a lower position than a vehicle front portion of the center frame.

A vehicle-body structure may include a floor panel, a dash panel extending upward from a vehicle front portion of the floor panel and partitioning a vehicle front portion of an occupant space, a cooler disposed on a vehicle front side of the dash panel, a control device disposed in the occupant space, and a supply pipe through which a heat exchange medium subjected to heat exchange at a heat exchanger is supplied to the control device. The heat exchanger may be closer to the control device than a powertrain PT mounted on an automobile.

An electric-vehicle vehicle-body structure may include: a floor panel constituting a floor of an occupant space; a center frame having a hollow shape, disposed to be higher than and away from the floor panel at a vehicle-width-direction central portion of the occupant space, and extending in a vehicle front-rear direction; and an air introducing duct that provides communication between an air-conditioning device and inside of the center frame and through which air-conditioned air is introduced into the center frame.
