An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a heat exchanger providing heat transfer between a first medium and a second medium. The apparatus also includes a movable aperture integrated onto a face of the heat exchanger and regulating a flow of the first medium based on a position of the movable aperture. The apparatus further includes an actuator controlling the position of the movable aperture.

An air conditioner for a vehicle including a case body having a floor outlet, a roof outlet, an evaporator, and a heater core; a mode door adjusting an opening amount of each of the vents; and a temp door adjusting an opening amount of a cold-air passage and a hot-air passage, includes: an actuator lever connected to an actuator provided in the case body, and a main lever connected to the actuator lever to simultaneously control the mode door and the temp door.

In an air conditioner, a heat medium circuit includes: a first branch part, a first merging part, a second branch part, and a second merging part. A first flow rate adjusting unit is disposed in the heat medium circuit between the first branch part and an outside-air heat exchanger or between the outside-air heat exchanger and the first merging part, and a second flow rate adjusting unit is disposed in the heat medium circuit between the first branch part and the first heater core or between the first heater core and the first merging part. At least one of the first flow rate adjusting unit or the second flow rate adjusting unit is configured to optionally adjust the flow rate of the heat medium, and a controller controls the at least one of the first flow rate adjusting unit or the second flow rate adjusting unit.

Disclosed is a heating module (12) for a heating system (10) of a habitable vehicle, the module comprising: a module housing (36) having an air inlet opening (56) and an air outlet opening (58); an air conduction element (76) which is accommodated in the module housing (36), has multiple conduction sections (92, 94, 96), and is connected to the air inlet opening (56) and the air outlet opening (58); and at least one heating element (110, 112; 210, 212), said heating element (110, 112; 210, 212) being designed to heat air flowing from the air inlet opening (56) to the air outlet opening (58).

A dual zone auxiliary climate control system for a vehicle includes an evaporator, a heater core having a first zone and a second zone, a first zone mode door downstream from the first zone of the heater core, a second zone mode door downstream from the second zone of the heater core and a blower. The blower forces air through the evaporator and the heater core toward the first zone mode door and the second zone mode door. A method of providing a dual zone auxiliary climate control system is also disclosed.

A climate control system includes a fluid delivery module. The fluid delivery module includes a housing defining a fluid flow path between an inlet and an outlet with the outlet having an elongated, slit-like shape and is not visible within a sight line of a user. The fluid delivery module further includes a fluidic control device disposed within the housing between the inlet and the outlet and movable to vary a direction of the fluid flow path within the housing.

The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle having a rear seat outlet, which can relieve temperature inversion that discharge temperature of the console vent becomes higher than discharge temperature of a rear seat floor vent in a bi-level mode, and prevent reduction of air volume of the console vent in the cooling mode. The air conditioner for a vehicle, which has a rear seat outlet, includes an air-conditioning case having an air passageway formed therein and a plurality of air outlets, and a cooling heat exchanger and a heating heat exchanger disposed in the air passageway of the air-conditioning case to exchange heat with air passing through the air passageway, wherein the air outlets include a console vent and a rear seat floor vent, and an entrance of the rear seat floor vent is formed above an entrance of the console vent.

A vehicle air-conditioning device includes: an air-conditioning device having an all-seat air-conditioning mode in which air-conditioned air is blown out to occupants of all seats in a vehicle cabin and an individual air-conditioning mode in which the air-conditioned air is blown out to some of the occupants of all seats; a selection device used to select the all-seat air-conditioning mode and the individual air-conditioning mode; and a controller configured to control the air-conditioning device in an air-conditioning mode selected in the selection device. When the vehicle is activated by a remote starter device configured to remotely activate the vehicle, the controller controls the air-conditioning device by switching the air-conditioning mode to the all-seat air-conditioning mode even when the air-conditioning mode selected at previous turning-off of an ignition device is the individual air-conditioning mode.

A vehicular air conditioner includes a casing, a blower fan, and a heating heat exchanger. The air passage in the casing is divided into an outside air passage and an inside air passage. The heating heat exchanger is disposed downstream of the blower fan in the casing. The blower fan is disposed to extend over a first outside air space, a second outside air space, a first inside air space, and a second inside air space in the air passage. The rotational direction of the blower fan is set so that each of the plurality of blades of the blower fan passes through the first outside air space, the first inside air space, the second inside air space, and the second outside air space in this order when the plurality of blade are rotating.
