A compressor mounting device can be used for mounting a compressor to a vehicle body frame. The compressor mounting device includes a main body to be mounted to the vehicle body frame through first and second frame mounting units integrally formed to one end and the other end and including first and second compressor mounting units formed to be protruded upwardly between the first and second frame mounting units so as to be mounted to first and second lugs formed in the compressor. A main bush unit is mounted to the first and second compressor mounting units and connects the compressor and the first and second compressor mounting units through the first and second lugs to lessen vibration generated from the compressor from being transmitted to the vehicle body frame through the main body.

A three fluid phase change material (PCM) heat exchanger for a vehicle comprises (i) an intake air channel having a first set of fins disposed therein and configured to receive and output intake air prior to combustion by an engine of the vehicle, (ii) a PCM layer surrounding the intake air channel and configured to cool the intake air, the PCM layer comprising a second set of fins, a PCM fluid that expands when freezing, and a set of elastomeric devices are configured to compress to compensate for the PCM fluid expansion during freezing, and (iii) a refrigerant channel surrounding the PCM layer and configured to circulate a refrigerant to cool the PCM layer to a solid, frozen state.

An embodiment compression module for a vehicle includes a compression unit configured to compress a refrigerant introduced into the compression unit, a control unit having a first surface separably assembled to the compression unit to control the compression unit, and an accumulator unit separably mounted on a second surface of the control unit in a direction opposite to the compression unit, the accumulator unit being configured to supply the refrigerant to the compression unit in a gaseous state.

Provided is a thermal management integration module (100) and an electric vehicle. The thermal management integration module (100) includes: a multi-channel integration board (110) having a plurality of cooling connection pipelines (111) formed therein, the multi-channel integration board (110) being configured as a carrier member for the thermal management integration module (100); and at least two thermal management components mounted on the multi-channel integration board (110) and connected to each other by the plurality of cooling connection pipelines (111). The design of the multi-channel integration board can not only serve as a connection channel between different thermal management components, but also serve as a carrier member for the entire integration module to enable the thermal management components to be integrated on the multi-channel integration board, forming the thermal management integration module with low costs, a light weight, and a small arrangement space.

The invention relates to an air conditioning module, a modular air conditioning system, a transport vehicle and a method. The air conditioning module the air conditioning module (51) comprises an evaporator (65), a condenser (66) and a compressor (67) which are mounted to, onto or in the frame (60). The frame (60) further defines or bounds a first volume V1 that is arranged in air communication with the evaporator (65) and a second volume V2 that is arranged in air communication with the condenser (66). The second volume V2 is separated from the first volume VI, at least in the lateral direction T. The frame (60) is provided with one or more walls (71), (72), (73), (74) to at least partially define or bound the first volume V1 and the second volume V2. The first volumes V1 are aligned in the stacking direction S to form the continuous first air channel C1.

A heat exchanger bracket for an automotive cooling module may include a first mounting assembly disposed at a first end of the heat exchanger bracket, a second mounting assembly disposed at a second end of the heat exchanger bracket, and a bracket container disposed between the first and second ends of the heat exchanger bracket. The first mounting assembly may include a first free floating retention point, and the second mounting assembly may include a second free floating retention point. The bracket container may be configured to receive a heat exchanger. The bracket container may include a first flexible retainer disposed at a first longitudinal end thereof, and a second flexible retainer disposed at a second longitudinal end thereof. The first and second flexible retainers may be configured to engage opposing longitudinal ends of the heat exchanger responsive to insertion of the heat exchanger into the bracket container.

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 air conditioning system for use with unenclosed mowers is provided. The system is designed for installation on unenclosed mowers to provide conditioned air to operators of such mowers. The system comprises an air conditioning unit and a compressor drive assembly. The air conditioning unit is configured to generate and emit conditioned air and comprises a compressor, condenser, and evaporator unit. The compressor drive assembly may interconnect the mower's engine to the air conditioning unit such that rotational motion generated by the engine is transmitted to the air conditioning unit. To this end, the compressor drive assembly may include a crankshaft pulley assembly, a gearbox having two pulleys, and a plurality of pulley belts. The system may also include an alternator.

A block fitting and seal structure for an air conditioning system includes a male block fitting and a female block fitting. The male block fitting includes an axially extending protuberant portion. A distal end of the protuberant portion has a tapered portion formed thereon. A female block fitting includes a recessed portion with a tapered portion formed therein. The tapered portion of the female block fitting is configured to engage the tapered portion of the male block fitting. An annular seal is disposed between the male block fitting and the female block fitting. The seal provides an axial seal and a radial seal between the male block fitting and the female block fitting.
