An air-handling system for a vehicle includes a housing defining a first flow path through which a first flow of air is configured to selectively flow and a second flow path through which a second flow of air is configured to selectively flow. A heat exchange passageway provides fluid communication between the first flow path and the second flow path within the housing. A heat sink is disposed within the heat exchange passageway and is associated with cooling a linear power module of a blower assembly disposed within the housing. The heat sink is configured to exchange heat with air disposed within the heat exchange passageway to provide cooling of the linear power module regardless of a mode of operation of the blower assembly.

The disclosure relates to a heat exchanger, preferably for a vehicle, including an applicative stratification, wherein the applicative stratification includes at least two stratification strands, wherein the applicative stratification is configured in such a manner that when incoming air into the heat exchanger is supplied in the direction of the applicative stratification, the incoming air is spread out by means of the applicative stratification in the respective stratification strand into an associated outgoing air portion. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to an air-conditioning unit and an associated method.

An air conditioning system for hybrid vehicles includes: a heater core receiving engine cooling water from an engine and heat an air blown into a vehicle room; an electric water pump pumping the engine cooling water through the heater core when a motor vehicle is switched from an engine drive mode to a motor drive mode; a discharged air temperature sensing unit sensing a discharged air temperature as a temperature of an air discharged into the vehicle room; and a control unit when the motor vehicle is switched from the engine drive mode to the motor drive mode differentially controls a rotational speed of the electric water pump depending on a temperature difference between the discharged air temperature inputted from the discharged air temperature sensing unit and a target discharge temperature calculated in advance based on internal/external temperature conditions and a user set temperature.

An air passage opening and closing device has: a case defining an air passage; and a slide door provided with a door body that has a plate shape, the slide door slidably disposed in the case and opening or closing the air passage. The case is provided with a case-side sealing surface that is in contact with the door body when the slide door is located to close the air passage. The door body is provided with a rib that protrudes toward an upstream side in a flow direction of air and extends in a moving direction of the slide door.

A vehicular air conditioning device includes a blower, a heating heat exchanger, an auxiliary heater, and a blower controller. The heating heat exchanger heats blown air by exchanging heat between the blown air and the cooling water of the in-vehicle device emitting heat during operation. The blower controller is configured to control the operation of the blower. The blower controller is configured to increase a blowing capacity of the blower with increase of a temperature of the cooling water. The blower controller, during operation of the auxiliary heater, increases the blowing capacity after a waiting time during which the increase of the blowing capacity is prohibited has elapsed since a start-up switch of a vehicle system is turned on. The vehicular air conditioning is capable of implementing a quick warming of the in-vehicle device without impairing the heating feeling of occupant.

An air-conditioning apparatus includes a heat exchange unit including a condenser that radiates heat of refrigerant discharged from a compressor, and an evaporator that expands the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser using an expanding device and then absorbs ambient heat into the evaporator, the condenser and the evaporator being connected to each other. According to operation mode, air to be supplied to a vehicle interior selectively exchanges heat with the condenser or the evaporator, or sequentially exchanges heat with the condenser and the evaporator. A subcooler that cools the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser before the refrigerant is expanded by the expanding device is provided. The subcooler is disposed at a position below the evaporator and to which condensed water flows down.

The invention relates to temperature control equipment (3) for a vehicle, in particular an electric vehicle, enabling an aerothermic adjustment of an airflow to be distributed in a passenger compartment (H) of the vehicle, including at least one heat treatment module (8), capable of heat-treating the airflow, and a distribution module (9), capable of distributing the airflow to the passenger compartment (H). The heat treatment module (8) comprises a single means (21) for heating the airflow to be distributed in the passenger compartment (H), which consists of an electric radiator (21).
