A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) apparatus for an automotive vehicle may include an internal volume divided into upper and lower regions, and configured for blowing the air to a defrost vent and a front seat face vent is made through the upper region, and blowing the air to a front seat foot vent and a rear seat vent is made through the lower region.

A triple-zone heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) apparatus for an automotive vehicle may be configured to mix cold air passing through an evaporator and warm air passing through a heat exchanger with each other and blow the mixed air to a front seat foot vent through a front seat foot door and to a rear seat vent through a rear seat door.

A system for adjusting one or more vehicle settings includes one or more processors, one or more occupant recognition sensors communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to output an occupant recognition signal indicative of an identity of one or more vehicle occupants, and one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more memory modules store logic that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: recognize a first vehicle occupant of the one or more vehicle occupants, determine a first vehicle zone in which the first vehicle occupant is present, automatically adjust the one or more vehicle settings based on one or more occupant preference settings associated with the first vehicle occupant and the first vehicle zone.

A rear seat air regulating device includes a housing that has an air inlet formed at one side thereof, a front seat air passage, and a front seat air outlet formed at an upper portion thereof. The housing also has a rear seat air passage and a rear seat air outlet formed at a lower portion thereof. An evaporator and a heater are inside of the housing. A rear seat temperature door is mounted at the inlet of the heater in a manner of being rotated angularly to block or allow the air flowing to the heater. A rear seat mixing door is mounted where an outlet of the heater joins the rear seat air passage in a manner of being rotated angularly so that the mixing door performs opening and closing of the outlet of the heater and opening and closing of the rear seat air passage simultaneously.

An air handling system for a vehicle comprises a conditioning section for controlling a temperature of a flow of air, a mixing section disposed downstream of the conditioning section with respect to a direction of the flow of the air, and a delivery section disposed downstream of the mixing section with respect to the direction of the flow of the air. The delivery section includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber. A dividing plate separates each of the second chamber and the third chamber into a first side portion to a first side of the dividing plate and a second side portion to an opposing second side of the dividing plate. The second side portion of the third chamber is configured to primarily direct the flow of the air towards a rear seat area of the vehicle.

A front-seat air conditioner and a rear-seat air conditioner, which are independent from each other, are provided. An engine is automatically stopped under preset stop conditions. When the engine is automatically stopped in a case in which the number of passengers is a specified preset number (five, for example) or larger during heating, the operation of the rear-seat air conditioner is stopped (reduction of power consumption) and the operation of the front-seat air conditioner is continued (prevention of windshield glass from being fogged). Thereby, the windshield glass can be prevented from being fogged during the engine's automatic stop, reducing the power consumption of air conditioning.

A heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) module for a vehicle is provided. In the HVAC module, a rear seat control module guiding a wind direction to a rear seat may be selectively assembled to a front seat control module including an evaporator and a heater such that only the front seat control module may be installed or an assembly of the front seat control module and the rear seat control module may be installed depending on each vehicle specification.

To secure and improve the support rigidity of an electric AT device without any structural difficulty. A center console includes a console body which has a pair of side wall parts, and an AT finisher which is provided between upper ends of the pair of side wall parts. An electric AT device is mounted on a lower surface side of the AT finisher directly or through a mounting bracket. A rigid member is mounted in at least one inner surface of the pair of side wall parts. A device holding part which is supported by an upper portion of the rigid member is provided in the mounting bracket or the electric AT device.

A dual-flow climatization system and a climatized vehicle component incorporating the same. The dual-flow climatization system comprises one or more air movers and an air directing unit. The air directing unit comprises a heat exchanger and a bypass channel. The air directing unit includes a first portion and a second portion. The one or more air movers provide a first airstream to the first portion and a second airstream to the second portion.

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.
