A system for determining an identification of an occupant within a vehicle can include a processor, a communications interface, and a memory. The memory can store an information reception module, an identification prediction module, and an actuation module. The information reception module can cause the processor to receive, via the communications interface, from at least one sensor, and at a time when a source of a propulsion force for the vehicle is in an off state, at least one signal having information about at least one detectable characteristic associated with the occupant within the vehicle. The identification prediction module can cause the processor to produce, based on the information, a prediction of the identification of the occupant. The actuation module can cause the processor to cause, in response to a production of the prediction, a setting of a component of the vehicle to have a specific value.

A method for controlling air conditioning of a vehicle includes: determining whether an air conditioning control entry condition for battery cooling wind backseat backflow compensation is satisfied from environment information collected from the vehicle; starting air conditioning control for the battery cooling wind backseat backflow compensation if it is determined that the entry condition is satisfied; determining a compensation value corresponding to a current operating level of a battery cooling fan when the air conditioning control for the battery cooling wind backseat backflow compensation is started; compensating for a current control variable value of an air conditioning device component using the determined compensation value; and performing an air conditioning operation for compensation in accordance with a backflow of a battery cooling wind having cooled a battery toward a backseat by controlling a state of the air conditioning device component in accordance with the compensated control variable value.

A vehicle air-conditioner temperature controlling method, a vehicle air-conditioner temperature controlling system and a storage medium. The vehicle air-conditioner temperature controlling method includes: controlling an air-conditioner to perform heating and cooling according to a current contraction-dilation state of a vein vessel of a user.

A system for controlling an internal temperature of a vehicle when an engine is turned off includes a temperature sensor configured to measure an internal temperature (Ti) of a vehicle; a first blower configured to discharge cooled air when an electric power is supplied to the first blower; a battery; and a control unit electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the first blower and configured to receive the internal temperature (Ti) of the vehicle from the temperature sensor, and to operate the first blower, in which the control unit electrically connected to the battery is configured to control an electric power of the battery to be applied to the first blower when the internal temperature (Ti) of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference temperature (Tr) in a state where an engine of the vehicle is turned off.

A system for ventilating a vehicle cabin includes a powered vent, such as a window or sunroof, for opening and closing to selectively ventilate the vehicle cabin. A controller may be provided for: (1) opening the powered vent based on a pre-determined opening time; (2) controlling the powered vent to activate based on a pre-determined parking location; and/or (3) controlling the powered vent to activate based on a sunlight intensity.

A system is for preventing molding on an evaporator associated with a vehicle air conditioning system for supplying conditioned air to a vehicle passenger cabin. The system includes a blower for selectively directing airflow over the evaporator and a controller for controlling the blower based on a sensed humidity adjacent the evaporator. The controller may also control a pump for circulating warm coolant from an engine cooling system to a heater core to warm the airflow directed to the evaporator by the blower, and thus contribute to the drying provided. Related methods are also disclosed.

A mobile thermal regulation facility is a trailer mounted container defining a thermally regulated interior space in which people may walk, stand and sit. One or more doors are provided for ingress and egress. An exhaust fan may maintain a negative pressure space between paired doors to help maximize energy efficiency. Seating is provided. Electric and data utilities in the form of one or more outlets, USB charging stations, an internet access points (e.g., WiFi) may also be provided. Other accoutrements may include display screens for displaying television programming or video captured events.

A method of operating a vehicle climate system when an ambient temperature is below a threshold temperature is provided. In response to an ambient temperature being less than a threshold temperature, a controller is adapted to operate a blower motor at a voltage that depends on whether the vehicle is in charge sustain mode or charge deplete mode. In response to an ambient temperature being greater than a threshold temperature, the controller is adapted to operate the blower motor at a voltage that does not depend on whether in the charge sustain or charge deplete modes.

An air filter monitoring system and method includes a plenum, a pressurization blower, a first motor driving the pressurization blower, a first motor current sensor, a recirculation blower, a second motor driving the recirculation blower, a second motor current sensor, a speed selector, a fresh air filter, a recirculation air filter, a pressurization blower speed sensor, a recirculation blower speed sensor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a program instruction for permitting a controller to monitor the HVAC system. The program instruction is adapted to produce a first and a second motor control signal to drive independently the pressurization blower and the recirculation blower, respectively. The first and second motor control signals are a function of the speed sensor signals to maintain a constant speed. Comparing a first and second motor current sensor signal to a baseline and triggers a replacement action when either signal falls below a threshold.

A system includes a blower, a blower sensor, and at least one processor. The blower sensor is operably coupled to the blower and configured to obtain blower operational information. The at least one processor is operably coupled to the blower and the blower sensor, and is configured to determine an operational-based power using the blower operational information; determine an operational-based density using the operational-based power; and control the blower using the operational-based density.
