System and method for minimizing air leak in an HVAC unit

A heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) unit may include a casing, an evaporator, a heater core, and a first damper. The casing may define a front airflow passageway, a rear airflow passageway having an inlet, and first and second outlets in fluid communication with the rear airflow passageway. The evaporator and the heater core may be disposed within the casing. The first damper may be disposed within the casing between the evaporator and the heater core and movable between a first position in which airflow is directed to the heater core and a second position in which airflow is directed away from the heater core. Airflow across the evaporator from the front airflow passageway to the rear airflow passageway is directed to the first and second outlets when the first damper is moved from the first position toward the second position.

Integrated front and rear HVAC system

An HVAC system for a vehicle includes a housing, a front HVAC unit housed in the housing and having a front blower, a first airflow path, and a front air mix door, a rear HVAC unit housed in the housing and having a rear blower, a second airflow path, and a rear air mix door. The HVAC system further includes an evaporator having a first portion disposed in the first airflow path and a second portion disposed in the second airflow path, and a heating core having a first portion disposed in the first airflow path and a second portion disposed in the second airflow path. An airflow directional door is disposed between the first airflow path and the second airflow path to regulate airflow from the rear blower to the first airflow path.

AIRFLOW CONTROL SYSTEM OF A WORK VEHICLE

A controller of an airflow control system is configured to determine a target position of a door of an airflow control assembly, a first flow rate of a first airflow from a recirculated air blower, and a second flow rate of a second airflow from a fresh air blower based at least in part on a target total airflow rate into an interior of a and a target fresh airflow rate into the interior of the cab. The fresh air blower receives a mixture of fresh air and recirculated air based on a position of the door. The controller is further configured to instruct the airflow control assembly to move the door to the target position, instruct the recirculated air blower to output the first airflow at the first flow rate, and instruct the fresh air blower to output the second airflow at the second flow rate.

AIR CONDITIONER FOR VEHICLE
20180105012 · 2018-04-19 ·

The air conditioner for a vehicle has a centrifugal fan and a housing. The centrifugal fan has a fan suction port and a rotary shaft and rotates centering on a rotational axis of the rotary shaft. The housing has a fan housing chamber, an introduction passage, and a wall. The fan housing chamber houses the centrifugal fan. The introduction passage guides air, which flows from an outside of the housing into the housing, to flow toward the centrifugal fan in a first direction intersecting with the rotational axis. The wall partitions the fan housing chamber and the introduction passage from each other and has an opening that faces the fan suction port. The wall has a rim defining the opening and being provided with an annular protruding portion. The annular protruding portion protrudes from the wall toward the introduction passage and covers the opening.

Air conditioning device for vehicle

A vehicle air conditioner includes a duct in which a partition member forming a first flow path and a second flow path is provided, and a heat pump circuit. In the heat pump circuit, a first indoor heat exchanger that contributes to heating is located in the first flow path or faces an outlet of the first flow path, and a second indoor heat exchanger that contributes to cooling is located in the second flow path. The duct is provided with at least one heating exhaust port for discharging air cooled in the second indoor heat exchanger to the outside of the vehicle interior in heating operation, and a cooling exhaust port for discharging air heated in the first indoor heat exchanger to the outside of the vehicle interior in cooling operation.

Air conditioning system for automotive vehicles

An air conditioning system for motor vehicles includes an air conditioner case having a left path, a right path and a rear seat path. A temperature door is configured to adjust a volume of a cold air or a hot air. A main blower is configured to blow the cold air or the hot air and an air volume distribution door is configured to control opening degrees of the left path and the right path. A rear seat auxiliary blower is configured to increase a volume and a pressure of the cold air or the hot air flowing through the rear seat path. A control unit is configured to, when an air volume distribution ratio of the main blower is changed, correct an opening position of the air volume distribution door and compensate a change in an air volume distribution ratio of the left path and the right path.

VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
20240424868 · 2024-12-26 · ·

A vehicle air conditioning system includes: a dehumidifying device; a power source; an inflow pipe for allowing air from a vehicle interior or a vehicle exterior to flow into the dehumidifying device; a first outflow pipe for returning the air that has been dehumidified by the dehumidifying device to the vehicle interior; a second outflow pipe through which the air containing moisture released by a regeneration process of the dehumidifying device is circulated; and a switching valve provided at a branch portion between the first outflow pipe and the second outflow pipe, the switching valve being capable of switching the flow of the air to the first outflow pipe or the second outflow pipe. A separator capable of separating moisture contained in the air by centrifugation is provided in the second outflow pipe. The second outflow pipe merges with the first outflow pipe on a downstream side of the separator.

Ventilation system for a power machine
