The present disclosure provides a casing for an air conditioning unit including a main body, a door, a passing defining member, and a drain channel. The main body includes a fresh-air passage and a recirculation-air passage. The recirculation-air passage is positioned below the fresh-air passage. The door selectively opens and closes a communication hole through which the fresh-air passage and the recirculation-air passage are in fluid communication with each other. The passage defining member is disposed upstream of the communication hole and defines a lower side of the fresh-air passage. The drain channel extends from the passage defining member to a space outside of the recirculation-air passage to discharge condensed water generated in the fresh-air passage.

The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle, which includes a dome-type temperature-adjusting door and a dome-type face door rotatably mounted in a mixing chamber of an air-conditioning case, such that a curved surface of the inner face of the temperature-adjusting door and a curved surface of the inner face of the face door can smoothly guide air toward vents according to air discharge modes so as to reduce flow resistance and increase air volume.

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 seat conditioning module for a seat conditioning assembly including an air mover, an intake port, outtake port, wherein at least one of the intake port, the outtake port, or both are in fluid communication with a seat surface. A valve assembly with at least two apertures movably disposed between the air mover and the at least one intake and at least one outtake ports. An actuation device for moving the valve assembly to control the passage of the fluid through the at least two apertures. An optional conditioning device in fluid communication with the air mover and the seat surface. A control device for at least controlling the position of the at least two apertures of the valve assembly, the activation of the optional conditioning device, the operation of the air mover, or any combination thereof.

An air vent for a vehicle may include: a duct having a passage through which air is moved; a first adjuster rotatably installed in the duct, and configured to guide a discharge direction of air while rotating in a side-to-side direction; a second adjuster rotatably installed in the duct with the first adjuster, and configured to guide a discharge direction of air while rotating in an up and down direction or block an air flow passing through the duct; and a driving unit connected to the second adjuster and configured to supply power to rotate the second adjuster.

A fluid flow controller includes a housing defining a first and a second fluid path. A first door is in the first fluid path to selectably control a first flow through the first fluid path in response to a rotation of a first lever. A second door is in the second fluid path to selectably control a second flow through the second fluid path in response to a rotation of a second lever. A flexible kinematic link is to connect an actuator arm rotatable about an actuator arm axis to the first lever via first pin joints for rotation of the first door about the first pivot axis. A flexible link length is responsive to a compressive and a tensile load. A rigid link is to connect the actuator arm to the second lever via second pin joints for rotation of the second door about the second pivot axis.

A sturdier design of an air vent which is provided in the interior of a motor vehicle is provided. The air vent includes an air supply duct, a first air vent duct, which branches off from the air supply duct and includes a first air inlet port and a first air outlet port. The air vent also includes a second air vent duct, which branches off from the air supply duct and includes a second air inlet port and a second air outlet port, and an air adjuster for adjustment of the quantity of air transported through the first air vent duct and the second air vent duct. The air adjuster has a round, preferably circular cross-section, on the outer face of which a first and a second segment are provided, which are spaced apart from one another to form an air guide duct, and which respectively close or at least partially open the first air inlet port or the second air inlet port as required.

An air handling system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system of a motor vehicle includes a conduit configured to convey air from the air handling system to a vent of the air handling system. A control door is rotatably disposed in the conduit. The control door selectively rotates between a first position and a second position. The first position blocks passage of the air flowing through the conduit. The second position blocks passage of the air flowing through a first portion of the conduit and allows the air to flow through a second portion of the conduit. A control feature is disposed in the second portion of the conduit to control at least one of a volumetric flow rate and a pressure of the air flowing through the second portion.

A seat conditioning module for a seat conditioning assembly including an air mover, an intake port, outtake port, wherein at least one of the intake port, the outtake port, or both are in fluid communication with a seat surface. A valve assembly with at least two apertures movably disposed between the air mover and the at least one intake and at least one outtake ports. An actuation device for moving the valve assembly to control the passage of the fluid through the at least two apertures. An optional conditioning device in fluid communication with the air mover and the seat surface. A control device for at least controlling the position of the at least two apertures of the valve assembly, the activation of the optional conditioning device, the operation of the air mover, or any combination thereof.

An arrangement for the air distribution of an air conditioning system (1) of a motor vehicle. The air conditioning system (1) is configured with a housing (2) with at least two flow paths (6, 7), which empty into a mixing chamber (8), and at least one air outlet (3a, 3b, 3c) as well as an air flap (10, 11, 12) which can open and close the at least one air outlet (3a, 3b, 3c). The arrangement has a device (18) for air mixing with at least one air resistance element (21), which is supported so that it can turn about an axis of rotation (20) and which extends in the direction of the axis of rotation (20). The air resistance element (21) is configured with at least one flow through opening, so that depending on the position of the device (18) a cross section of at least one flow path (6, 7) of the housing (2) can be changed.
