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 vehicle cooling mechanism includes a first radiator configured to cool a battery of a vehicle, a second radiator configured to cool a power conversion device that converts electric power supplied from the battery and electric power supplied to the battery, and an air guide duct portion configured to guide outside air from an opening portion provided in a front end portion of the vehicle to the first radiator and the second radiator. The first radiator is arranged above the second radiator. At least a part of the second radiator is arranged so as to overlap the opening portion as viewed from a front side of the vehicle. An upper end portion of the second radiator is positioned above an upper end portion of the opening portion. A lower end portion of the second radiator is positioned below the upper end portion of the opening portion.

An air conditioning system includes an evaporator, compressor, condenser and an expansion system in a closed system to cycle refrigerant. The components are mounted in a housing with sidewalls, bottom wall and top wall in a vertically stacked configuration with a horizontally mounted frame approximately bisecting the housing. A fan below the frame dissipates heat into or through the bottom of a vehicle and a fan above the frame circulates cool air into a passenger compartment. The air conditioning system is powered by a 12-volt direct current, which is fused (15 amperes) running off the vehicle's battery or the alternator and is operated by an electronic control circuit.

An apparatus and method are provided for purifying air for breathing. The apparatus includes an armrest having a receiver and an air purification module releasably received in the receiver. The air purification module is portable and displaceable between a first operating position held in the receiver and a second operating position remote from the armrest and the vehicle.

An assembly for acoustically insulating a cabin of a vehicle includes at least one air exchange port and a functional component. The air exchange port is configured in an outer panel of the vehicle for exchanging air between the cabin and a surrounding area of the vehicle. The functional component includes an acoustically insulating surface such that a portion of the functional component is detachably attached to the outer panel and the functional component is positioned proximal to the air exchange port. The acoustically insulating surface of the functional component and the outer panel define an airflow passage between the at least one air exchange port and the cabin.

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.

An in-vehicle air conditioning device includes a plurality of air conditioning openings provided for each of a plurality of seats of the vehicle at at least one of an upper part and a lower part of the vehicle corresponding to each seat; a plurality of airflow generators that are provided for each of the air conditioning openings and generate an airflow discharged from the air conditioning openings while controlling a temperature and an amount of the airflow; and a controller that individually controls the plurality of airflow generators, wherein at least some of the plurality of airflow generators include an air volume distribution adjustor adjusts planar distribution of a volume of air that passes through the air volume distribution adjustor, and wherein the controller control an amount of the planar distribution of the volume of air adjusted by the air volume distribution adjustor.

The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle having a rear seat outlet, which can relieve temperature inversion that discharge temperature of the console vent becomes higher than discharge temperature of a rear seat floor vent in a bi-level mode, and prevent reduction of air volume of the console vent in the cooling mode. The air conditioner for a vehicle, which has a rear seat outlet, includes an air-conditioning case having an air passageway formed therein and a plurality of air outlets, and a cooling heat exchanger and a heating heat exchanger disposed in the air passageway of the air-conditioning case to exchange heat with air passing through the air passageway, wherein the air outlets include a console vent and a rear seat floor vent, and an entrance of the rear seat floor vent is formed above an entrance of the console vent.

A vehicle cabin airflow forming device includes an airflow forming unit. The airflow forming unit is configured to form airflows circulating around seating space of a seat and form, as part of the airflows, an ascending airflow on one lateral side of the seating space, and a descending airflow on the other lateral side of the seating space. The seat is provided inside a vehicle cabin, and the airflows circulate around the seating space as viewed from a front side of the seat.

A system for vehicle component cooling includes a main body defining a passenger compartment to support passengers of the vehicle. The system also includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit to output conditioned air into the passenger compartment. The system also includes a vehicle component to generate heat and having a component temperature. The system also includes a cooling channel having an inlet located in the passenger compartment and an outlet to output the conditioned air from the passenger compartment towards the vehicle component. The system also includes at least one sensor to detect data corresponding to the component temperature of the vehicle component. The system also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) to control the HVAC unit to increase or decrease a cabin temperature to adjust the component temperature based on the detected data.
