A system is provided. The system includes a first flap coupled to a first portion of a duct associated with a heat exchanger of a vehicle. The first flap forms a first airflow path towards the heat exchanger. The system further includes a second flap coupled to a second portion of the duct associated with the heat exchanger of the vehicle. The second flap forms a second airflow path towards the heat exchanger. The first airflow path is different from the second airflow path.

The present invention relates to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning system for a motor vehicle. The system includes a fresh air inlet, a movably mounted flap, and a water drainage channel. The movably mounted flap is assigned to the fresh air inlet and blocks an air flow through the fresh air inlet in a closed position and allows an air flow through the fresh air inlet in an open position. The water drainage channel at least partially extends on an outer side of the heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning system along a lower edge of the fresh air inlet.

A control method for an HVAC system of a vehicle including an air handling system having a dual inlet design is disclosed. The air handling system comprises a housing having recirculation air inlets to receive recirculation air originating from a passenger compartment of the vehicle, ambient air inlets to receive ambient air originating from an ambient environment, and a blower assembly that causes air to flow through the housing. Distribution doors and baffle doors selectively control a flow of the recirculation air and the ambient air into the housing. The control method selectively positions the distribution doors and the baffle doors and selectively adjusts a speed of the blower assembly to achieve a target dew point temperature in a passenger compartment of the vehicle.

A method for controlling heating of a vehicle thermal management system including an HVAC subsystem may include: determining, by a controller, a target temperature for heating a passenger compartment of a vehicle when the HVAC subsystem operates in heating mode; determining, by the controller, whether an internal temperature of the passenger compartment is lower than the target temperature; adjusting, by the controller, an opening amount of a heating-side expansion valve of the HVAC subsystem to a first opening amount and opening the heating-side expansion valve when the internal temperature is lower than the desired target temperature; and decreasing, by the controller, RPM of a compressor of the HVAC subsystem when the internal temperature is higher than or equal to the desired target temperature. The first opening amount is an opening amount of the heating-side expansion valve with which a heat capacity generated by a heating operation of the HVAC subsystem reaches a maximum heat capacity.

A control method for a vehicle includes determining whether an internal combustion engine is overheated based on driving information of the vehicle and cooling information of a passenger compartment while the vehicle is driving and an HVAC system is operating in a cooling mode, and controlling an alternator or an actuator of a switching door to reduce a cooling capacity provided by the HVAC system when it is determined that the internal combustion engine is overheated.

The air mixing damper includes a reheat preventing damper having a principal plane. The foot switching damper does not protrude further toward the air mixing space side than an imaginary plane including the principal plane.

An air-conditioning device for air-conditioning a passenger compartment is provided. The air-conditioning device includes a cooling element for cooling air, an air duct downstream of the cooling element for guiding the air, a heating element downstream of the air duct for warming the air, a mixing zone downstream of the heating element, and multiple air outlets for discharging multiple partial air streams from the mixing zone into different regions of the passenger compartment. An additional cold air bypass is formed which is guided past the heating element for supplying additional cold air downstream of the heating element. As a result, the air-conditioning device in operation is particularly efficient and simultaneously simple in design and particularly cost-effective. Furthermore, the invention provides a method for operating the air-conditioning device.

Disclosed is a control method of a damper of a variable-air-volume air distributor and a control system thereof, mainly comprising a volume adjusting valve for the variable-air-volume air distributor, a valve actuator, a BP neural network-based main controller, a data collector and a user operation panel.

An air conditioning device for a vehicle includes a door control unit that controls multiple blowing port doors or an air mix door to prevent a heat generated from a heater core from leaking out of an air conditioning case before air conditioning of a vehicle interior is determined to be started. The air conditioning device includes an air conditioning control unit that performs the air conditioning of the vehicle interior by controlling the multiple blowing port doors to open at least one of multiple blowing ports and blow out a heat in the air conditioning case as hot air to the vehicle interior from the at least one blowing port after the air conditioning in the vehicle interior is determined to be started.
