Some embodiments are directed to a deflector for use with a vehicle air intake system that directs air from a vehicle exterior to a vehicle interior. The deflector can include a base configured for attachment to a region of an interior wall of an air compartment adjacent a perimeter of a drain. The deflector can also include a barrier wall connected to the base and including an inner surface that is disposed over the drain when the base is attached to the interior wall of the air compartment. The barrier wall can be shaped to define a concavity between the drain and the inner surface. The barrier wall can define an air stream opening that is disposed to direct air traveling from the drain and through the concavity toward a section of the interior wall of the air compartment that opposes a shield.

The present invention relates to a windshield and wiper blade deicing system. The system is designed to use a plurality of vents that are angled to blow out or direct warm air from the vehicle engine and heater of the vehicle towards the windshield and wiper blades for quickly melting ice and snow thereon. The plurality of vents can be disposed near, or proximal to, the base of the windshield and the vehicle hood. The system uses internal warm air generated from the vehicle engine, and the heater of the vehicle and control same with a deicing controller. The system can be controlled by a plurality of control buttons disposed on a dashboard of the vehicle. The system can also be controlled remotely by a key fob of the vehicle.

A motor vehicle has a unit area which is arranged inside the motor vehicle body. The unit area has at least one air inlet and at least one air outlet. The unit area is divided into at least one cold area and at least one warm area which is isolated from the cold area by a separating wall. The warm area accommodates at least one unit emitting heat and the air emerging from the air outlet and entering into the air inlet flows through at least the warm area.

An apparatus and a method are provided for a multiple inlet air box to communicate an airstream through an air filter to an air intake duct of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. The multiple inlet air box is comprised of a housing that supports the air filter within an interior of the housing. A mount portion within the housing fixedly receives a base of the air filter. Multiple air inlets couple with corresponding air inlet ports of the vehicle to direct the airstream into the multiple inlet air box. A duct directs the airstream from the multiple air inlets to the interior of the housing. A conduit communicates the airstream from an interior of the air filter to the air intake duct of the internal combustion engine.

A ventilation system for a vehicle can include a roll over protection system. The roll over protection system can include a bar. The ventilation system can have an air duct configured to selectively attach to and detach from the bar.

A vehicle cowl structure includes a cowl body, a cowl panel, an air outlet, and a gas-liquid separation mechanism. The cowl body has a recessed shape with an upper opening when viewed in a longitudinal direction thereof. The cowl panel closes the upper opening of the cowl body, and has an outside air inlet. The outside air inlet allows outside air to be introduced into the cowl body. The air outlet allows air inside the cowl body to be discharged toward a vehicle interior. The gas-liquid separation mechanism is disposed between the outside air inlet and the air outlet and allows the air and liquid inside the cowl body to be separated from each other. The gas-liquid separation mechanism includes a lower blocker, an upper blocker, and an air suction part. The air suction part allows the air inside the cowl body to be drawn out.
