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.

Inventors:

- Auburn Hills MI, US
Darshan Parikh - Farmington Hills MI, US
Steven Marshall - Oxford MI, US

International Classification:

B60H 1/00
B60H 1/32

Abstract:

An HVAC air intake for a vehicle, includes an air intake housing disposed outside of a passenger compartment of the vehicle. A fresh air inlet is defined in an upper portion of the air intake housing. A drain is disposed in a sump portion of the air intake housing to drain water from the sump portion. A recirculation door is disposed in a recirculation airflow doorway defined in the air intake housing below the fresh air inlet and above the sump portion. The recirculation door prevents air from flowing upwardly, and water from flowing downwardly through the recirculation airflow doorway when the recirculation door is closed. A conduit is disposed in the air intake housing to convey water from the upper portion of the air intake housing, around the recirculation door, to the sump portion when the recirculation door is closed.
