The invention relates to an air cooling device (1) for a vehicle, notably a motor vehicle, comprising:at least a reserve (3) of liquid, a device (5) for nebulizing the liquid, at least two air outlets (7) for diffusing at least an air flow (F1, F2) intended for the interior of the said vehicle, andat least two nebulizing ducts (9) respectively intended to have passing through them an air flow (F1) laden with droplets of nebulized liquid, each nebulizing duct (9) being arranged in fluidic communication with the reserve (3) of liquid and with an associated air outlet (7). According to the invention, the air cooling device (1) comprises at least one nebulizing regulating member (19) to regulate the flow rate of the air flow (F1) laden with droplets of nebulized liquid passing along a nebulizing duct (9) and to be diffused through the air outlet (7) associated with this nebulizing duct (9).

A vehicle climate control system includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system where condensate from the system is conveyed to a misting device disposed at an air-conditioned outlet in the cabin of the vehicle. The misting device can be arranged at the exit of the air-conditioned outlet such that conditioned air is conveyed by the HVAC ducting and mixes with the mist generated by the misting device at the air-conditioned outlet. The mist may be scented using an injection device that pumps a fragrant fluid into the misting device along with the condensate. Prior to conveying the condensate to the misting device, the condensate may be pumped through bacteria and sediment filter media providing a clean supply of condensate to the misting device. Positioning the misting device at the air-conditioned outlet helps prevent mold or debris from being trapped in the HVAC system or ducting.

An air conditioner for a vehicle is provided and includes a dryer which is connected to an indoor air conditioner that adjusts the temperature and humidity within a vehicle. The air conditioner simultaneously dries a dry subject such as clothes, shoes or the like.

A bottle for a heat exchanger extending in a longitudinal direction, including a tubular main body comprising a first opening, a plug having a plug body inserted at least partially into the tubular body to close the first opening, a retaining element adapted to retain the plug with respect to the tubular main body after insertion of the retaining element into the tubular main body, wherein the plug comprises a guiding means adapted to guide the retaining element during insertion of the retaining element and the retaining element is configured to be locked in the tubular body, the retaining element and the plug cooperating together to retain the plug in the tubular main body along the longitudinal axis.

An electronic control unit (ECU) obtains outside air humidity information from a sensor disposed outside a vehicle compartment and inside air humidity information from a sensor inside the vehicle compartment. The ECU includes a humidity information obtainer obtaining the inside air humidity information, a humidity change calculator calculating the inside air humidity information as a difference between (i) a physical quantity correlated with humidity before a start of a dehumidification or a humidification and (ii) a physical quantity correlated with humidity after a switch-off of the dehumidification or the humidification, a soak time calculator calculating, based on the difference of the physical quantities, a soak time from the switch-off of the dehumidification or the humidification to a sensor-diag startable time at which a diagnosis of the outside air humidity sensor is startable, and a comparator comparing the outside air humidity information and the inside air humidity information after a lapse of the soak time from the switch-off of the dehumidification or the humidification.

A humidifying device has an adsorption module and a blower. The adsorption module has the adsorbent. The adsorption module is configured to adsorb the water from the air passing through the adsorption module to the adsorbent and is configured to desorb the water from the adsorbent to air passing through the adsorption module. The blower blows the air to the adsorption module. The blower, in an adsorption operation in which the adsorbent adsorbs the water from air, draws the air from a roof space and blows the air to the adsorption module whereby the adsorption module adsorbs the water from the air. The roof space is defined between a vehicle ceiling panel and a ceiling interior member.

A automotive humidifying assembly includes a housing that can be gripped by a user during automotive travel and the housing has a vapor aperture extending therein. A reservoir is provided that contains a fluid and the reservoir is removably coupled to the housing. A pump is positioned within the housing and the reservoir is placed in fluid communication with the pump when the reservoir is positioned in the housing. An atomizer is positioned within the housing and the atomizer converts the fluid in the reservoir into a vapor when the pump is turned on. Thus, the vapor aperture releases the vapor for moistening the user's eyes. A funnel is coupled to the housing and the funnel is in fluid communication with the vapor aperture. The funnel can be positioned proximate one of the user's eyes for directing the vapor into the user's eye thereby facilitating the user's eye to be moistened.

An air conditioner for a vehicle which can reduce ventilation resistance and secure a sufficient cross-sectional area of an air outlet to prevent deterioration in air volume. The air conditioner includes: an air-conditioning case having an air passageway formed therein and a plurality of air outlets formed at an exit thereof, and at least one heat exchanger disposed in the air passageway of the air-conditioning case to exchange heat with air passing through the air passageway, wherein the air outlet includes a center vent for discharging air-conditioned wind toward the center of a vehicle width and a side vent for discharging the air-conditioned wind toward the side of the vehicle width, and one between the center vent and the side vent is arranged in an upper side of the air-conditioning case, and the other is arranged in one side of the air-conditioning case in a back-and-forth direction of the vehicle.

A humidifying device includes a casing that defines a first air passage that guides air to an adsorbent module accommodation portion accommodating an adsorbent module including an adsorbent, and a second air passage through which the air flowing out of the adsorbent module accommodation portion flows. The humidifying device includes a peltier device that has a heat absorbing side and a heat generating side generating heat due to heat transfer from the heat absorbing side. The peltier device is housed in the casing such that the heat generating side is located in the first air passage and the heat absorbing side is located in the second air passage.
