An air conditioning system for a vehicle may include a refrigerant line through which a refrigerant circulates and an evaporator and a condenser are connected to each other; and a first core and a second core for indoor air conditioning, wherein the first core includes a first inlet and a first outlet through which a coolant passing through the evaporator is introduced and discharged, respectively, the second core includes a second inlet and a second outlet through which a coolant passing through the condenser is introduced and discharged, respectively, and the first core and the second core are connected to each other through a connection line, and the connection line is provided with a first valve selectively connecting the first core and the second core through the connection line.

A vehicle air conditioning system is provided and includes a heating duct through which internal air and external air are introduced and a cooling duct through which internal air and external air are introduced. A condenser is disposed in the heating duct and an evaporator is disposed in the cooling duct and is connected to the condenser. A phase change material (PCM) stores thermal energy of the internal air passing through the heating and cooling ducts. An internal/external air door controls the mixing of the internal/external air introduced into the heating and cooling ducts, and a PMC door controls the external air introduced through the heating and cooling ducts whether to pass through the PCM.

The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle which includes an integrated heat pump system having an electronic part waste heat recovery device to enhance heating performance and which can cool a battery of an electric vehicle using refrigerant in a cooling mode. The air conditioner for a vehicle includes a refrigerant circulation system for performing cooling or heating of the interior of the vehicle by circulating refrigerant. The air conditioner further includes a first refrigerant pipe exchanging heat with a battery system of the vehicle in sequence to selectively exchange heat between refrigerant of the refrigerant circulation system and a coolant of the first coolant pipe.

There is provided a vehicle air conditioning apparatus being capable of cooling, heating, and dehumidifying the vehicle compartment. A communication path is formed to allow communication between part of the first ventilation flue downstream of the heat absorbing unit in an air flow direction and part of the second ventilation flue upstream of the heat releasing unit in the air flow direction. The communication path is opened and closed by a communication path opening and closing damper. By this means, it is possible to perform the dehumidifying operation by opening the communication path without need of devices such as a dedicated outdoor heat exchanger, and a solenoid valve and a four-way valve to switch the refrigerant flow path in the refrigerant circuit.

A system for controlling an airflow supplied to a cabin of a work vehicle may include a housing defining a mixing chamber and a recirculating chamber isolated from the mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is configured to receive fresh air via a fresh air inlet and recirculated air via a first recirculated air inlet, with the fresh air being mixed with the recirculated air within the mixing chamber to create a fresh/recirculated air mixture that is supplied through a mixed air outlet. The recirculating chamber is configured to receive recirculated air via a second recirculated air inlet and supply the recirculated air through a recirculated air outlet. Additionally, the system may include a gate movable relative to the first recirculated air inlet to adjust an amount of recirculated air supplied to the mixing chamber, and an actuator configured to actuate the gate relative to the first recirculated air inlet.

In order to detect the amount of radiation received by or the temperature of air in the vicinity of each of body parts of an occupant in a vehicle, a radiation information calculating device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires member temperature information that reflects temperatures of members exposed to a cabin of a vehicle; a calculation unit configured to calculate plural radiation information corresponding to each of body parts of an occupant in the cabin based on the member temperature information acquired by the acquisition unit; and an output unit that outputs the plural radiation information calculated by the calculation unit. The radiation information represents an amount of radiation received by a corresponding body part of the occupant.

Disclosed herein is an air conditioner for a vehicle, which can select a blower with the maximum efficiency within a range of a targeted air discharge volume for indoor circulation and select a blower with the maximum efficiency within a range of a targeted air discharge volume for outdoor discharge. The air conditioner includes: an air-conditioning case having a first air passageway and a second air passageway; an evaporator disposed on the first air passageway or the second air passageway; a condenser disposed on the first air passageway or the second air passageway; a first blower arranged on an indoor circulation passage; and a second blower arranged on an outdoor discharge passage.

Disclosed is a vehicle air conditioning device, which is an air conditioning device using an integrated heat pump system, and in which left and right independent air conditionings can be implemented in a simple structure such that the left and right air volumes may be automatically controlled, the ability to mix hot and cold air is improved, and sufficient space can be secured inside a vehicle.

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 cabin condenser for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a battery electric vehicle (BEV). The cabin condenser includes a first cabin condenser portion and a second cabin condenser portion. A regulator is configured to control flow of refrigerant from the first cabin condenser portion to the second cabin condenser portion.
