Air conditioning system for motor vehicles
An air conditioning system for motor vehicles includes a compressor, a condenser, a plurality of air conditioning units connected in parallel with each other with respect to the compressor and the condenser, and a flow rate control unit configured to, when a specific one of the air conditioning units is additionally turned on or is turned off, prevent occurrence of a sudden change in refrigerant amount in the remaining air conditioning units.
DEVICE FOR AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE DEVICE
Device for a climate control system of a motor vehicle. The device includes a refrigeration circuit with a compressor for the two-stage compression of the refrigerant and injection of refrigerant at an intermediate pressure level, at least one heat exchanger operated as a condenser/gas cooler, a first internal heat exchanger, at least a first heat exchanger operated as an evaporator, which is situated upstream from a first expansion element in the flow direction of the refrigerant, as well as a first flow path and a second flow path, each of which extends from a branching point to the compressor. The refrigeration circuit is designed with a second internal heat exchanger. The first internal heat exchanger is arranged at least with a low-pressure side inside the first flow path and the second internal heat exchanger is arranged at least with an intermediate pressure side inside the second flow path.
SCROLL COMPRESSOR FOR VEHICLE
A scroll compressor of vehicles comprises a housing including a first opening to form a receiving space, a compressing mechanism, and an electrical machinery mechanism including a rotor and a stator. The electrical machinery mechanism, located in the receiving space, drives the compressing mechanism to rotates. A lower holder is fixed to an upper holder via the stator. The stator is coupled to a binding post by lead-out wires, and the binding post, away from a bottom wall of the housing, is located between an inner wall of the housing and an outer wall of the stator. The stator and the binding post are directly or indirectly installed to a same component, and a distance between an outlet of the lead-out wires and the binding post is constant during the assembling process of the binding post and the lead-out wires.
Liquid ejector and ejector refrigeration cycle
A refrigerant that has flowed out of a liquid ejector radiates heat in a radiator, and a liquid-phase refrigerant that has radiated heat in the radiator flows into an ejection refrigerant passage of the liquid ejector. A discharged refrigerant of a compressor that suctions the refrigerant that has flowed out of a low-pressure evaporator flows into an inflow refrigerant passage of the liquid ejector. An ejector adopted as the liquid ejector is one in which an ejection refrigerant is ejected from the ejection refrigerant passage to a gas-liquid mixing portion, and the ejection refrigerant is ejected on an outer circumferential side of the inflow refrigerant flowing from the inflow refrigerant passage into the gas-liquid mixing portion.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HEATING A VEHICLE
Methods and system for providing heat to a vehicle are presented. In one example, a refrigerant loop is operated to heat a passenger cabin via heat generated by a compressor and heat generated by a resistive heating element. The heat that is generated by the compressor and the heat that is generated by the resistive heating element is transferred to a refrigerant before it is transferred to the passenger cabin.
Integrated condenser and compressor system
Disclosed is an integrated compressor system configured to be integrated with existing air conditioning systems. The integrated compressor system generally includes a mounting assembly, a first compressor and a valve. The mounting assembly can be mounted directly on a condenser of an existing air conditioning system. The first compressor and the valve are mounted directly on the mounting assembly. The valve has a first valve inlet, a second valve inlet and a valve outlet. When assembly and integrated with an existing AC system, the first valve inlet is fluidly coupled to a compressor outlet of the first compressor, the second valve inlet is fluidly coupled to a compressor outlet of the compressor of existing AC system, and a valve outlet is fluidly connected to a condenser inlet of the condenser.
ISOTHERMAL-TURBO-COMPRESSOR-EXPANDER-CONDENSER-EVAPORATOR DEVICE
This invention provides an isothermal turbo-compressor-expander-condenser-evaporator in a single integral arrangement that is suitable for a variety of compact arrangements, such as a window air-conditioner and/or automotive-based unit. This arrangement avoids the use of rotary fluid joints and maintains the entire fluid cycle, including compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation within a single rotating shaft-based structure, with the compressor/condenser section and the expansion/evaporator section separated from each other in separate spaces and/or plena by a rotating, insulated barrier disc and associated seal.
VEHICLE POWER UNIT ROOM STRUCTURE
A vehicle power unit room structure is provided including a motor that is disposed inside a power unit room and that is configured to transmit drive force to a drive wheel, a compressor that is disposed adjacent to the motor in a vehicle width direction so as to overlap with the motor as viewed along the vehicle width direction, and a power supply section that is configured to supply power supplied from a power source to the motor and the compressor, and that is disposed at a vehicle upper side of the compressor so as to overlap with the compressor as viewed along a vehicle vertical direction.
Transportation refrigeration unit with multiple compressors
A transportation refrigeration unit includes an evaporator 32 circulating a flow of refrigerant therethrough to cool a flow of supply air flowing over the evaporator. Two compressors 36,38 are in fluid communication with the evaporator to compress the flow of refrigerant and are configured and connected to operate in parallel with one another. A condenser 44 is in fluid communication with the evaporator and the two compressors. An economizer heat exchanger 56 and a suction line heat exchanger 68 are provided.
VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONER
A vehicle air conditioner includes an air-conditioning case having a drain hole through which an air passage communicates with an outside of a vehicle compartment, a heat exchanger disposed inside the air passage, and a seal member. The seal member is held between a dash panel and a seal wall of the air-conditioning case. The seal member has a through hole, and closes a through hole of the dash panel. The vehicle air conditioner includes a refrigerant pipe and a pressure reducing valve. The first case part and the second case part are fitted with each other in a fitting part below which, in the vertical direction, the air-conditioning case has a communication hole through which an outside of the air-conditioning case communicates with the air passage.
