The present application relates to an air conditioning method and system, a vehicle, and a storage medium. The method comprises: determining an ambient temperature inside the vehicle; determining an operating state of a temperature regulation unit and a minimum air volume of an odor regulation unit in the operating state; receiving a setting of an intensity level of the odor regulation unit, wherein the temperature regulation unit shares an air passage with the odor regulation unit; and determining an air volume of the odor regulation unit according to the ambient temperature, the operating state, the minimum air volume, and the intensity level. According to this method, the release degree of the fragrance or the like inside the vehicle may be precisely controlled.

A vehicle deodorizer assembly includes a reservoir which contains a chemical fragrance and the reservoir is integrated into a vehicle. A pump is integrated into the vehicle and the pump is in fluid communication with the reservoir thereby facilitating the pump to urge the chemical fragrance outward from the reservoir. A pair of nozzles is each integrated into the cabin of the vehicle to release the chemical fragrance into the cabin wherein the nozzles are configured to enhance the odor of the cabin. An actuate button is disposed in the cabin of the vehicle and the actuate button is in communication with the pump. Furthermore, the actuate button turns on the pump when the actuate button is depressed.

A vehicle system includes: a blower configured to draw air from within a passenger cabin of a vehicle through an inlet; a binding agent source configured to flow a binding agent into the air; and a sensor disposed downstream of the binding agent source in the direction of airflow, the sensor configured to determine an amount of smoke in the air from within the passenger cabin based on a measured characteristic of particulate at the sensor and a predetermined characteristic of the binding agent.

A method for operating a fragrancing device, wherein a blower device is provided which sucks air through an air inlet opening into the first air duct and conveys it to an air outlet opening. At second air duct is provided, which branches off from the first air duct at a first duct branch and rejoins the first air duct at a second duct branch. A first fragrance container is provided in the second air duct between the first duct branch and the second duct branch, which can be flowed through by the air flow in the second air duct. A first valve device is provided upstream and/or downstream and controls the flow through the first fragrance container. The blower is controlled in such a manner that a defined, substantially constant, air flow is generated as a sum through the first air duct and the second air duct.

A fragrance container of a scenting device, having a wall enclosing an interior space, wherein at least one air inlet opening and at least one air outlet opening are provided in the wall for air to flow through the fragrance container, wherein at least one carrier medium for a fragrance is arranged in the interior space of the fragrance container, wherein the at least one carrier medium has a plurality of free surfaces along which the air can flow through from the air inlet opening to the air outlet opening for the purpose of absorbing the fragrance.

A vehicle system includes: a blower configured to draw air from within a passenger cabin of a vehicle through an inlet; a binding agent source configured to flow a binding agent into the air; and a sensor disposed downstream of the binding agent source in the direction of airflow, the sensor configured to determine an amount of smoke in the air from within the passenger cabin based on a measured characteristic of particulate at the sensor and a predetermined characteristic of the binding agent.

A system for generating mist includes a vehicle with ventilation system, a misting device configured to atomized fluid to generate a variable amount of mist, and a fan configured to move the variable amount of mist through the ventilation system. The system further includes a particle sensor configured to measure particles and a controller in communication with the particle sensor, misting device, and fan, configured to receive a particle concentration from the particle sensor, compare it to a threshold, and control the variable amount of mist and/or the fan to keep the particle concentration greater than the threshold. A method for controlling mist in a vehicle includes pumping fluid to a misting device, generating a mist of fluid, pumping the mist into a vehicle ventilation system, measuring a particle concentration, and manipulating a misting device, pump, and/or fan using a controller to keep the particle concentration above a threshold.

An air sanitizing apparatus for a vehicle comprising: an ozone generator; a negative ion generator; and an ultraviolet radiation source. The air sanitizing apparatus further includes a rotating feature and a motor operably connected to the rotating feature, the rotating feature configured to move the air sanitizing apparatus along a track system. The air sanitizing apparatus can includes a first end portion; a second end portion; a middle portion disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion, the middle portion rotatable relative to the first end portion and the second end portion about an axis that extends through both the first end portion and the second end portion. The ozone generator, the negative ion generator, and the ultraviolet radiation source are all disposed at the middle portion. The air sanitizing apparatus is disposed in an interior of a vehicle below but adjacent to a ceiling.
