An apparatus includes a capture device and a processor. The capture device may be configured to generate pixel data corresponding to an exterior view from a vehicle. The processor may be configured to generate video frames from the pixel data, perform computer vision operations on the video frames to detect objects in the video frames and determine characteristics of the objects, analyze the characteristics with respect to the vehicle to determine visual indicators to predict an air quality and generate a control signal in response to an air quality value. The control signal may be configured to toggle an activation of an air recirculation feature of the vehicle when the air quality value reaches a threshold value. The visual indicators may be used to adjust the air quality value.

Device for conditioning air in an enclosed space, including first and second sorption units, each for being transferred from a sorption mode into a desorption mode and vice-versa; and to, in the sorption mode, sorb the one or more air constituents from air of the enclosed space; and to, in the desorption mode, desorb the one or more air constituents, and including an air distribution device to, in a first operating state, switch to a second operating state in which exchange of the air of the enclosed space with exterior air may be provided, if it is determined that a concentration of at least one air constituent of the one or more air constituents is above a limit, and, in the second operating state, switch to the first operating state, if it is determined that concentrations of all air constituents of the one or more air constituents are within their corresponding limit.

Described herein is an air intake device for an air conditioning unit of a vehicle, the air intake device including a casing on which there are formed a fresh air inlet, a recirculation air inlet, and an air outlet adapted to be associated to an air inlet of a blower of the air conditioning unit, and a pair of drum flaps mounted to the casing and rotatable about a common rotation axis and movable between a fresh air extreme position and a recirculation extreme position. In the fresh air extreme position, the angular span of the recirculation air inlet is partially covered by one of the drum flaps and partially covered by the other of the drum flaps, and in the recirculation extreme position, the angular span of the fresh air inlet is completely covered by one of the drum flaps, the drum flaps overlapping each other.

When the temperature of a device that is constituted by an electric component or an electronic component and that is arranged below a rear seat exceeds a predetermined value during air-conditioning operation in an internal-air circulation mode, an air-conditioning switching action by which a rear air-conditioning unit is switched from the internal-air circulation mode to an external-air introduction mode is performed, and thereby ventilation of the vehicle cabin is performed. Therefore, before the surrounding temperature of an occupant significantly rises due to heat generated by the device and the occupant feels uncomfortable, by restraining the surrounding temperature from rising through external-air introduction to avoid a situation in which occupant feels uncomfortable, it is possible to maintain comfortableness in the vehicle cabin.

An interior ventilation system for a motor vehicle includes an air measurement chamber, into which outdoor air of the motor vehicle can be fed via an outside air supply line and vehicle interior air of the motor vehicle can be fed via an inside air supply line, air quality sensors for measuring a harmful-substance content in air located in the air measurement chamber, and a measurement air control unit, which is designed to selectively supply outdoor air and/or vehicle interior air to the air measurement chamber. A motor vehicle includes such an interior ventilation system.

The present application provides a control method for a vehicle air conditioner, including: performing remote control in advance, wherein performing remote control in advance includes performing remote timing control in advance. Performing remote timing control in advance includes starting the air conditioner t0 minutes before the vehicle is started, so as to perform pre-cooling or pre-heating, wherein t0 is a constant. Compared with a vehicle air conditioner in the prior art, the vehicle air conditioner in the present application performs, by a configured step of performing remote control in advance, pre-cooling or pre-heating before the vehicle is started, so as to control an interior temperature of the vehicle in advance, such that when a user enters the vehicle, a comfortable ambient temperature is provided, thereby providing a comfortable ambient for a vehicle owner and a passenger.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly provides a vehicle, a method and system for drying an evaporator of a vehicle air conditioner, and a storage medium, aiming to solve the problems of low efficiency and poor effects of an existing method for drying an evaporator of a vehicle air conditioner. In the method for drying an evaporator of a vehicle air conditioner provided according to the disclosure, the vehicle air conditioner comprises an evaporator core, an air duct for circulating air is constructed in an air conditioner box, and a fan, the evaporator core and a heating core are arranged in the air duct, the method comprises: closing the air duct after cooling of the vehicle air conditioner is stopped; operating the heating core and the fan, so as to generate, by means of the heating core and the fan, hot air which can circulate in the air duct, wherein during circulation, the hot air carries away condensed water precipitated on a surface of the evaporator core for conversion into hot and humid air; and directly venting the hot and humid air from the air duct to exterior environment, so that the evaporator core is dried. The method provided according to the disclosure can implement the drying of the evaporator with high-efficiency and low energy consumption.

An air conditioner is disposed in a vehicle in which a driving device of a traveling power source is housed in an outer space separated from a cabin by a partition wall. The air conditioner includes: a temperature control unit that controls a temperature of air blown into the cabin; and plural air distribution ducts connected to the temperature control unit to guide temperature-controlled air having a temperature controlled by the temperature control unit to predetermined positions in the cabin. The temperature control unit is disposed in the outer space together with the driving device. Intermediate parts of the air distribution ducts located at least between the outer space and the cabin are bundled together and extended through a single insertion hole formed in the partition wall.

To improve a view of a side area from a cabin, the cabin mounted on a machine body includes a hollow rear pillar located on a rear portion of a side surface of the cabin. The rear pillar includes an interior opening through which an interior of the rear pillar is communicated with an interior of the cabin, and an exterior opening through which the interior of the rear pillar is communicated with an exterior of the cabin.

A smart multi-modal vehicular air filtration management system including a first filter element and a second filter element disposed in a fresh air housing, wherein the fresh air housing has an inlet and an outlet. Additionally, a third filter element is provided which is disposed in a cabin housing, the cabin housing having one or more inlet. A fluid channel arranged between the fresh air and cabin housing. Finally, a diverter is included which is disposed near an outlet of the fresh air housing, wherein the diverter is configured to cause air to flow through the fresh air housing selectively through one or both of the first filter element and the second filter element.
