The invention relates to a surface temperature-controlling device, in particular for use in vehicles, comprising a first air-distributing layer which has multiple air inlets extending through the first air-distributing layer and multiple air outlets extending through the first air-distributing layer, and a second air-distributing layer which fluidically connects air inlets and air outlets of the first air-distributing layer, wherein the air inlets are designed to introduce pre-heated or pre-cooled air into the second air-distributing layer, and the air outlets are designed to discharge air out of the second air-distributing layer.

A vehicle cockpit module assembled to a front area of the interior of a vehicle, the vehicle cockpit module including a main module composed of a driver module corresponding to a driver seat and a center module disposed at a center of the vehicle, and comprising vehicle control parts, driver seat convenience parts, and driver seat safety parts, and a side module configured to be assembled to or separated from a side of the main module corresponding to a front passenger seat, and comprising front passenger seat convenience parts and front passenger seat safety parts, wherein the side module is configured to be connected to a front part of a vehicle body and a side end of the main module when assembled, and a space in which the side module previously existed is utilized as a storage space, in response to the side module being separated.

Provided is a refrigerating or warming apparatus. The refrigerating or warming apparatus may include a cavity or compartment of which at least a portion of a wall is provided as a vacuum adiabatic body, a machine room disposed at a side outside the cavity, a compressor accommodated in the machine room to compress a refrigerator, a first heat exchange module or assembly accommodated in the machine room to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged, a second heat exchange module or assembly accommodated in the cavity to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged, and a machine room cover which covers the machine room to separate air flow passages where an internal air flow and an external air flow have directions opposite to each other.

A vehicle includes an instrument panel reinforcement that extends in a vehicle width direction inside an instrument panel, a steering wheel located behind the instrument panel reinforcement, and an air duct that is disposed inside the instrument panel and passes between the instrument panel reinforcement and the steering wheel.

A mounting structure of two resin components includes a primary component including an insertion piece extendedly provided from a base portion, and an engagement recessed portion formed in the insertion piece; and a secondary component formed capable of being mounted to the primary component and including an insertion portion configured to guide the insertion piece formed at the base portion, an engagement protruding portion formed in the insertion portion and configured to fit into the engagement recessed portion of the insertion piece, and a restriction wall configured to cover a root side of the insertion piece inserted into the insertion portion, and in a top plan view, a width of the restriction wall being gradually decreased toward a direction separating from a side where the primary component is mounted.

A climate control system includes a plurality of vent registers, an HVAC unit delivering conditioned air to the plurality of vent registers, a side door status monitoring device and a controller configured to control opening and closing of the plurality of vent registers in response to side door status data provided by the side door status monitoring device. A related climate control method is also provided.

Provided is a refrigerating or warming apparatus. The refrigerating or warming apparatus may include a cavity or compartment of which at least a portion of a wall is provided as a vacuum adiabatic body, a machine room disposed at a side outside the cavity, a compressor accommodated in the machine room to compress a refrigerator, a first heat exchange module or assembly accommodated in the machine room to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged, a second heat exchange module or assembly accommodated in the cavity to allow the refrigerant to be heat-exchanged, and a machine room cover which covers the machine room to separate air flow passages where an internal air flow and an external air flow have directions opposite to each other.

An air conditioner for a construction machine which can ensure the required durability of a supply line and a discharge line, and which can reduce manufacturing costs. The air conditioner has an exterior unit outside the cab and an interior unit on the floor of the cab, the interior unit including an expansion valve disposed at a position above an upper surface of a floor plate of a cab. The expansion valve is connected to an outer device of the air conditioner by a supply line and a discharge line extending along the bottom surface of the floor plate, and bent upward at a passage which is formed in the floor plate. The supply line and the discharge line are fixed by a latching means such as a p-clip disposed in proximity to the passage.

To reduce discomfort of occupants caused by operation sound of a camera cooling system in a vehicle, a vehicle-mounted camera includes a camera cooler and a controller. The vehicle-mounted camera is installed inside of a windshield. The camera cooler cools the vehicle-mounted camera. The controller determines if the vehicle-mounted camera is in a high temperature state. If it is determined that the vehicle-mounted camera is in the high temperature state, the controller controls the camera cooler to operate. The controller controls an air conditioner to provide a sound generation process to generate concealing sound to conceal operation sound caused by the camera cooler when the air conditioner operates.

A trim assembly having a trim element and an air vent designed to be supplied with air. The trim element includes a first face designed to be oriented toward a user, a second face opposite the first face, and an edge extending between the first face and the second face. The air vent is positioned to generate a jet of air flowing along the second face toward the edge.
