An interior trim of a vehicle includes a trim panel disposed in an interior space of the vehicle and including a plurality of cells configured to be respectively opened or closed. The plurality of cells define openings facing towards the interior space of the vehicle during an opening operation of the plurality of cells. The openings are arranged so that sound, light or air is discharged through the openings to the interior space of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a passenger cabin, an inverter, and a coolant system having conduit arranged to circulate coolant through the inverter and an evaporator. A refrigerant system includes a condenser and conduit arranged to circulate refrigerant through the condenser and through the evaporator to absorb heat generated by the inverter. A climate control system is arranged to circulate an airstream through the condenser and into the cabin to heat the cabin.

A climate control system for a vehicle comprises a housing and a diverter. The housing has a first conduit formed therein. The first conduit includes a first subconduit formed in an intermediate portion of the first conduit and a second subconduit disposed adjacent an end of the first subconduit. The diverter is rotatably disposed within the first conduit, and includes a first member having an outer edge and an offset edge. The outer edge is disposed on a first planar portion of the first member and configured to sealingly contact a wall of the first subconduit when the diverter is in a first position. The offset edge is disposed on a second planar portion of the first member and configured to sealingly contact a portion of the second subconduit when the diverter is in the first position.

An air conditioning system includes an air conditioning unit that includes an introduction part that introduces air, a plurality of temperature adjustment parts that cool or heat introduced air, and a discharge part that discharges cooled or heated air to an inside of the vehicle. The air conditioning system further includes an outdoor duct connected to a discharge-part side of the air conditioning unit and extending toward an outdoor side of the vehicle to discharge the cooled or heated air to an outside of the vehicle. Additionally, the air conditioning system includes an outdoor door provided on the outdoor duct or on the discharge part of the air conditioning unit around the outdoor duct to control air flow through the outdoor duct.

A car air conditioning system has a pneumatic circuit to feed an air flow into a passenger compartment of a vehicle, and a cooling circuit to cool the air flow fed along the pneumatic circuit; the pneumatic circuit being provided with a three-way joint, which has an inlet connected to a first pneumatic duct, a first outlet connected to a second pneumatic duct, a second outlet communicating with the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and a shutter, which is movable from and to a closing position, wherein the inlet is separate from the two outlets.

A method for controlling a system for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The system includes an actuator, a volatile memory (RAM) in which an item of position information of the actuator (IP.sub.RAM) is stored, and a long-term memory (EPROM). The following are stored in the long-term memory (EPROM): at least one item of position information (IP.sub.ROM) of the actuator and an item of information relating to the powering down of the actuator (I.sub.HT), which assumes a first value (v1) when the system has been powered down in a controlled manner and assuming assumes a second value (v2) when the system has suffered a fault causing the current value of the position of the actuator stored in the volatile memory (RAM) to be deleted.

An air-conditioning system for a vehicle is provided. The system includes a heating blower and a cooling blower that are disposed on opposite sides with an adjustment space being interposed there between. A first duct and a second duct transfer outside air or inside air and extend in the axial direction of the heating blower and the cooling blower. An inlet door unit is disposed in the adjustment space and adjusts the air introduced from the first duct or the second duct to be selectively supplied to the heating blower or the cooling blower. A condenser and an evaporation core are respectively disposed in the radial directions of the heating blower and the cooling blower and are connected via a refrigerant line. An outlet door unit regulates the air to be selectively discharged to the indoor space or the outdoor space.

A device for controlling a compressor of vehicles may include a sensor module including a cabin temperature sensor, an outdoor temperature sensor, an evaporator temperature sensor detecting a temperature of cooling medium in an evaporator, a vehicle speed sensor, and a brake sensor, an injector, an air conditioning system including a condenser, an evaporator, the compressor, a temperature control door controlling a temperature of air flowing into a cabin, an intake door selectively distributing an inner air or an outer air into the cabin, and a blower blowing the air to the intake door, and a controller controlling the injector and the air conditioning system, wherein the controller accumulates a cold air energy by increasing an operation of the compressor if a speed-reducing condition occurs, and the air conditioning system uses the accumulated cold air energy by decreasing the operation of the compressor if a release condition occurs.

A vehicle includes a passenger cabin, an inverter, and a coolant system having conduit arranged to circulate coolant through the inverter and an evaporator. A refrigerant system includes a condenser and conduit arranged to circulate refrigerant through the condenser and through the evaporator to absorb heat generated by the inverter. A climate control system is arranged to circulate an airstream through the condenser and into the cabin to heat the cabin.

The present disclosure includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) door diagnostic system. The system has a rotatable hard stop lever that contacts, and restricts movement of, both a first airflow control door and a second airflow control door beyond a stop position when both the first airflow control door and the second airflow control door are present and moving in sync. When one of the first and second airflow control doors is not present or the first and second airflow control doors are not in sync, only one of the first and second airflow control doors will: contact the hard stop lever at the stop position, rotate the hard stop lever, and move beyond the stop position. The HVAC door diagnostic system generates a failure notice when the first airflow control door or the second airflow control door moves beyond the stop position.
