International Classification:

B60H 1/02

US Classification:

237 123R, 237 123 B, 165 41, 165 42

Abstract:

The present invention relates to distribution of conditioned air from automotive HVAC units, in particularly, distribution systems having both front and rear components. In particular, the present invention improves the temperature characteristics of the rear floor area of distribution in the cockpit, cab or passenger compartment, in a variety of temperature modes. By providing for a valving or closing off means on a rear distribution door, regulation and adjustment of the stratification and temperature of air reaching the rear, and especially, the rear floor area of the cockpit, cab or passenger compartment, is achieved by blocking or closing off a channel between the heater core area of the HVAC and the distribution system.

Valeo Climate Control Corporation - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

F28D 7/10
B60H 3/00

US Classification:

454156, 165156

Abstract:

A ventilating air and airflow control in a ventilating, heating or air conditioning system is provided. A structure and method to provide air flow mixture via an air mixer structure or ‘baffle’ located within a blend door are provided. The simplified HVAC unit provides a baffle/blend door assembly comprising an air mixer structure wherein the attachment means of baffle and barrel door is such that it provides for ease of assembly. The baffle/barrel door assembly provides for smaller packaging volume with the same functionality as larger HVAC units.

Assignee:

Valeo Climate Control Corp. - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

F25D 21/14

US Classification:

62288, 62285, 62291

Abstract:

The present invention relates to HVAC units with condensate drainage systems, for use in motorized vehicles. The present invention provides for at least two or dual condensate drain paths with no extra parts required pre-distribution of the treated air from the HVAC unit, the drainage means or channel situated to allow condensate to ‘fall back’ or, to run upstream back from the evaporator in the opposite direction to the air in the main airflow or stream which continues to run downstream from the drainage area to be conditioned by the heat exchanger.

International Classification:

B60H 1/00

Abstract:

A HVAC system () includes a housing () with at least one first inlet () and at least one second inlet () formed thereon, at least one first door (), at least one second door () and an intermediate door (). The first inlet () and the second inlet () is for ingress of a first fluid stream and a second fluid stream inside the housing (). The first door () and the second door () moves with respect to the first inlet () and the second inlet () respectively to define an open configuration, a closed configuration and a partially open configuration thereof. The intermediate door () is disposed between the first inlet () and the second inlet () and moves between a deployed and an un-deployed configuration to respectively disrupt and allow fluid flow there across. The intermediate door () is a sliding door.
