International Classification:

F02G005/00

US Classification:

123/549000

Abstract:

The present invention provides an improved throttle assembly for an internal combustion engine in an automotive vehicle. The throttle assembly includes a housing having a bore and a rotating throttle plate within the bore. A shaft connected to the plate allows the plate to pivot within the bore. A heating element is integrally formed in the throttle housing. By applying voltage to the heating element, the element heats the housing and thereby prevents the formation of ice in the throttle bore ensuring that the throttle plate can freely rotate under all engine operating conditions.

Abstract:

An air-handling system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system of a vehicle includes a main housing comprising a conditioning section, a mixing section, and a delivery section having a flow of air passing therethrough. The delivery section includes a conduit branching into a windshield defrost pathway and a demist pathway, the windshield defrost pathway leading to windshield defrost vents of a passenger compartment of the vehicle and the demist pathway leading to side window defrost vents of the passenger compartment. A control door rotatably disposed in the conduit is adjustable through a range of rotational positions wherein a flow area through the windshield defrost pathway is variably restricted while the demist pathway remains unobstructed. The control door is further adjustable to a position wherein the windshield defrost pathway and the demist pathway are closed.
