A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) assembly for supplying different mixed air flows simultaneously is disclosed. The assembly includes first blend kinematics configured for allowing passage of a first air flow, second blend kinematics configured for allowing passage of a second air flow, obtaining means configured to obtain a temperature command indicating a target temperature for two different locations outside the HVAC assembly, identifying means configured to identify a pattern for the first blend kinematics and the second blend kinematics for modifying the first air flow and the second air flow based on the temperature command, and coordinating means configured to coordinate each of the first blend kinematics and the second blend kinematics simultaneously.

An air-conditioning apparatus for a vehicle and a control method of the same are provided to inhibit a closing degree of a door in closing the door from being insufficient, secure high quietness in a vehicle cabin immediately after the door is closed, and lower energy consumption of the vehicle. An air-conditioning apparatus for a vehicle includes an inside-outside air switching damper including a damper switching actuator, an air-conditioning control switch, a control unit, and door opening-and-closing sensors. The control unit includes two timers and a memory. When an IG switch is in an OFF state, the control unit sets the inside-outside air switching damper to an intermediate mode when the door becomes an open state, thereafter sequentially starts the timers when the door becomes a closed state, and returns the inside-outside air switching damper to a previous state to opening of the door after waiting until the timers expire.

A vehicular air conditioning system includes an intake unit configured to inhale an indoor air and an outdoor air. The intake unit includes an outdoor air inlet configured to introduce the outdoor air, an indoor air inlet configured to introduce the indoor air and a plurality of doors configured to selectively open the outdoor air inlet and the indoor air inlet. The intake unit further includes an auxiliary indoor air introduction part configured to introduce the indoor air. The auxiliary indoor air introduction part is configured to introduce a part of the indoor air existing on the side of the indoor air inlet.

The present invention relates to refrigerated trucks, more particularly to a front-mounted external cold air intake system for a large refrigerated truck, including a refrigerated compartment, an indoor chiller unit, an outdoor chiller unit, a front-mounted air duct, air outlets, horizontal louvers, folding elbows, windshields, blade control knobs, filters, covers, wind deflectors and blades. In the front-mounted cold air intake system, the front-mounted air duct introduces outdoor cold air into the refrigerated compartment, and transmits and distributes the cold air through the air outlets. Moreover, the air window structures formed by the horizontal shutters, the folding elbows and the windshields are used for discharging air, so as to stabilize the pressure in the refrigerated compartment. The system of the present invention uses outdoor cold air to effectively cool the compartment allowing for energy saving of the refrigerated truck.

An HVAC system for a vehicle. The HVAC system including an evaporator case, a heater case, and a blower case. The heater case is in cooperation with the evaporator case to receive airflow from the evaporator case. The heater case includes a heat source and defines front passenger cabin airflow outlets and rear passenger cabin airflow outlets. The blower case is in fluid communication with the evaporator case and includes a single airflow generator that generates airflow through the evaporator case, through the heater case, and to both the front passenger cabin airflow outlets and the rear passenger cabin airflow outlets.

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a cabin of a vehicle. The HVAC system includes a control module configured to operate the HVAC system in a two-layer airflow cooling mode by: operating a blower unit to draw the inside air and the outside air into the blower unit, and blow the inside air and the outside air through the blower unit into an air conditioning unit; and operating the air conditioning unit to cool the inside air and the outside air, and direct the cooled inside air and the cooled outside air out of the air conditioning unit through only the face opening portion.

An air-treatment system for a confined environment, in particular the cabin of a vehicle, includes: a supply unit including an inlet port, a delivery port, and a purge port, the supply unit being configured for delivering air to said confined environment through the delivery port; and a first filtering device having a first filtration level, and a second filtering device having a second filtration level, each of the first and second filtering devices being arranged in fluid communication with the inlet port of said supply unit at a circuit node. A single flow-control valve determines inlet flow through one or other of the filtering devices.

An air conditioner for performing air-conditioning of an interior of a vehicle cabin includes a casing, an evaporator, a blower, a controller, and a cooling passage. The casing defines a ventilation passage through which air flows from an air introduction port toward an air outlet. The evaporator cools the air flowing through the ventilation passage. The blower is disposed on a downstream side with respect to the evaporator in the ventilation passage and generates an airflow in the ventilation passage. The controller controls an output from the blower. The cooling passage causes a position located on a downstream side with respect to the blower in the ventilation passage to communicate with a position located on an upstream side with respect to the evaporator in the ventilation passage. A controller is installed in the cooling passage.

An air-conditioning unit includes an air-conditioning case, a blower, and a cooling heat exchanger disposed at a position upstream of the blower. The blower includes a rotational shaft and a suction opening. The cooling heat exchanger includes a facing portion that overlaps with the suction opening in the axial direction and a non-facing portion that does not overlap with the suction opening in the axial direction. The air-conditioning case includes a projected region that is virtually formed by projecting the facing portion toward an upstream side of the air-conditioning case along the axial direction. The air-conditioning case defines introducing openings at positions outside of the projected region. At least a first one of the introducing openings is located on a side of the projected region opposite to at least a second one of the introducing openings.

In a cross section of a flow passage formed to conduct a flow of air from an inside/outside air box to an upper air passage of a scroll casing while the cross section of the flow passage is taken along an imaginary plane which includes an outer edge of an air guide plate and is parallel to a rotational axis of an impeller, a passage section, which is located on one radial side of a separation tube where a nose of the scroll casing is placed, is defined as a first opening section, and another passage section, which is located on an opposite radial side of the separation tube, which is opposite to the nose, is defined as a second opening section. A passage cross-sectional area of the second opening section is larger than a passage cross-sectional area of the first opening section.
