An air conditioning system for conditioning the air of a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle comprises a housing with a first and a second flow conduit for conducting air and a coolant circuit with at least two heat exchangers, wherein a first heat exchanger is arranged in the first flow conduit and a second heat exchanger is arranged in the second flow conduit. The first heat exchanger can be operated independently of the operating mode as an evaporator and the second heat exchanger can be operated independently of the operating mode as a condenser. The housing comprises at least one air conduction device with which an air mass flow conditioned in the air conditioning system can be discharged into the environment. The coolant circuit is constructed with a heat exchanger which is arranged outside of the housing and can be operated as an evaporator or as a condenser.

A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system includes a blower, a fresh-air valve, a bypass duct, and a bypass valve. The blower is configured to urge air to flow from an inlet to an outlet of the blower. The fresh-air valve is operable to provide a mixture of air drawn from an outside-air duct and a recirculated-air duct to the inlet. The fresh-air valve is operable to a recirculate position where the outside-air duct is substantially blocked from communicating with the inlet. The bypass duct is configured to couple the outlet to the outside-air duct. The bypass valve is located in the bypass duct and is operable to a closed position and an open position. The cabin is ventilated when the fresh-air valve is in the recirculate position, the bypass valve is in the open position, and the blower is operated to blow air out of the outside-air duct.

An air-conditioning system for conditioning air in a vehicle passenger compartment including a housing having a first flow channel and a second flow channel for guiding air, and a refrigerant circulation system having at least two heat exchangers. An air guide device is disposed between the evaporator and the passenger compartment in the first flow channel, and an air guide device is disposed between the condenser/gas cooler and the passenger compartment in the second flow channel. The air guide device disposed in the first flow channel consists of multiple parts such as at least two members, and the members are respectively assigned to air channels extending to the passenger compartment, are independently controllable, and are movable so as to open or close the respective air channels.

A vehicle cabin air conditioning system includes a cabin indoor air conditioner and an individual air conditioner configured to condition air in a target space inside a cabin. The individual air conditioner includes a blower, a heat generator, a supply port, and an exhaust port. The supply port supplies one of a cold air cooled with the heat generator and a warm air heated with the heat generator to the target space. The exhaust port provides the other of the cold air and the warm air to outside of the target space. The cabin indoor air conditioner includes a cabin blower, a temperature control unit, and a suction port through which air is sucked for the temperature control unit. An air flow path is provided to guide air sent from the exhaust port of the individual air conditioner to the suction port of the cabin indoor air conditioner.

A heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) apparatus for a vehicle includes: a case, which is configured to communicate with the outside of the vehicle and which includes a discharge flow path connected to an interior of the vehicle; an outside air inlet, which is located in the case and into which air is introduced from the outside of the vehicle; an inside air inlet configured to communicate with the interior of the vehicle; a filter unit located adjacent to the discharge flow path; an inside/outside air switching door provided adjacent to the outside air inlet and the inside air inlet and configured to selectively open the outside air inlet and the inside air inlet; and an auxiliary switching door, which includes a depression located at a lower end of the filter unit and which is selectively opened so as to allow the depression and an outdoor outlet to be fluidly connected.

Disclosed is a vehicle air conditioner, wherein an integrated air conditioning module using a heat pump system enables, in order to secure interior space, the optimizing of the arrangement thereof and the arrangements among the elements thereof, and the increasing of a coupling force between an air conditioning module and a distribution duct.

A ventilation device may include a housing, a fluid channel system, a heat exchanger, and a slider arrangement. The slider arrangement may include at least one first slider and at least one second slider arranged within the fluid channel system upstream of the heat exchanger and downstream of the heat exchanger respectively. The first and second slider may be guidable transversely with respect to at least one fluid flow. The first and second slider may each be actuatable. At least one of a volume flow and a mass flow of at least one fluid flow may be at least one of controllable and regulatable via actuation of the first slider. At least one of a predetermined fluid temperature and a predeterminable fluid temperature of a mixed fluid may be settable and at least two fluids may be mixable via actuation of the second slider.

A vehicle air conditioner having a compressor to compress a refrigerant, an air flow passage to supply air to the vehicle; a radiator; an outdoor heat exchanger; a battery temperature adjustment device for letting a heat medium circulate through a battery mounted in the vehicle, thereby adjusting a temperature of the battery; and a control device. The battery temperature adjustment device has a refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger for performing exchange of heat between the refrigerant and the heat medium. The control device is configured to execute: a radiator and outdoor heat exchanger heating/battery cooling mode, and an obstruct inflow heating/battery cooling mode.

A temperature control system includes a heater core utilizing heat of a heat medium; an engine heat exchanger utilizing exhaust heat of an engine to heat the heat medium; a condenser utilizing heat other than the exhaust heat to heat the heat medium; a heat circuit having the heater core and condenser; a communication flow path making the engine heat exchanger communicate with the heat circuit; and a connection state switching mechanism switching a flow state of the heat medium, between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the heat medium flows through the heat circuit, while flowing through the heater core, and in the second state, the heat medium flows through the heat circuit without flowing through the heater core. The heat circuit is arranged at a front of a passenger compartment, and the engine heat exchanger is arranged at a rear of the compartment.

A blower unit for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioner system (HVAC) of a vehicle. The blower unit includes an inside/outside air switching box. A switching door disposed in the inside/outside air switching box that is configured to selectively open and close an inside air introduction port and an outside air introduction port of the inside/outside air switching box. A fan is also located inside the inside/outside air switching box and blows air introduced into the inside/outside air switching box from the inside air introduction port and the outside air introduction port into the passenger compartment. A first plurality of ribs is provided on an inner surface of the switching door with a first perforated panel coupled to each of the first plurality of ribs. The first plurality of ribs and the first perforated panel reduce noise generated during an inside air introduction mode.
