An air outflow device for a motor vehicle, having at least one fed-in air stream, wherein an outflow characteristic of the air outflow device can be changed between a dispersal characteristic and a spot characteristic, with the outflow characteristic being changed by an adjustable swirl on at least one outflowing air stream. Also an air outflow method using an adjustable swirl to adjust an outflow characteristic of an air stream.

Air exhausting device, in particular for a vehicle and corresponding method for exhausting air

The invention relates to an air vent (), especially for a motor vehicle, comprising an air channel for supplying air, and an air guiding device (). The air channel is divided into at least two essentially cylindrical partial channels () in the air guiding device (), said cylindrical partial channels () being parallel to each other. Especially other partial channels () provided in the inventive air vent generate a swirling flow.

Air vent, especially for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a control device () for controlling airflows in motor vehicles, comprised of a frame having at least one passage opening () and at least one controlling means, which is provided in the form of a roller louver () and which serves to modify the passage cross-section for the air flowing through the passage opening (). The frame comprises a housing () with at least two hollow bodies () that are open along the longitudinal sides. These hollow bodies () accommodate the drive shaft () or the return shaft () for the roller louver (), and each have a pivotal cover () for opening the respective hollow body (). The control device () can be mounted inside airflow ducts of a heating and/or air-conditioning system for motor vehicles.

Control device comprising a roller band cassette

The invention relates to a heat exchanger of a plate-type construction having first flow channels for a first medium, each formed by a pair of plates, and having corrugated ribs, around which a second medium flows, arranged between neighboring plate pairs. In order to provide an improved heat exchanger which allows a more compact construction of the plant when used in a heating or air conditioning unit of a motor vehicle, it is proposed that the corrugated ribs and at least one of the neighboring plate pairs form second flow channels for the second medium and the second flow channels have a curved course, so that the second medium undergoes a change of flow direction on flowing through the heat exchanger.

Heat exchanger and heating or air conditioning unit of a motor vehicle containing said heat exchanger

The invention relates to a roller belt cassette for use in a control device () serving to control airflows in motor vehicles, comprised of a roller belt subassembly having a roller louver, which is formed by a roller belt (), and at least two shafts () of which one is a drive shaft () and the other is a return shaft (). The roller belt () is formed by an endless belt or is provided in the form of an endless belt. The roller belt cassette can be mounted inside airflow ducts of a heating and/or air-conditioning system for motor vehicles.

Roller belt cassette for use in a control device

The invention relates to a plate-type heat exchanger, in which at least one first flow passage () for a first medium is provided between two plates (and), which form a plate pair (). A plurality of second flow passages (), which are connected in parallel, for a second medium are provided between two plate pairs (). To provide a novel, improved heat exchanger, which is easier to produce, it is proposed that the second, parallel-connected flow passages () are formed in each case by one plate () from adjacent plate pairs ().

Heat exchanger and vehicle heating or air-conditioning system including same

Disclosed is an air-conditioning device for a motor vehicle having a blower for feeding air through an air-conditioning housing, in which a cooling heat exchanger, a heating heat exchanger, and airflow control elements are arranged. The air-conditioning device and the heat exchangers have their greatest dimension in the transverse direction (y direction) of the vehicle. In order to provide a space-saving and cost-effective system, the blower is arranged laterally on the air-conditioning housing, and an air filter having approximately the same transverse dimension as the cooling heat exchanger is arranged in the air stream between the blower and cooling heat exchanger.

Air-conditioning device for a motor vehicle

An equalizing tank is disclosed comprising a housing, a pressure dissipation orifice, and a return flow line configured to provide fluid communication within the housing without fluid entering the pressure dissipation orifice. Also disclosed is a method of making the equalizing tank and an automotive air-conditioning system including the equalizing tank.

Equalizing tank

An air-conditioning system is disclosed for a cab of a commercial vehicle, which has a driver's area, a front-passenger's area and a sleeping area in the cab interior. The system is constructed as simply and cost-effectively as possible and permits more economical air-conditioning of the individual areas of the cab interior. The air-conditioning system has at least two fans ( ) and a central control unit ( ) that contains at least one heater and at least one cooling heat exchanger. Air temperature is controlled individually for each area and is guided via individual air ducts ( ) into the respective areas. A first fan ( ) is assigned to the drivers and front-passenger's area, and at least one second fan ( ) is assigned to the sleeping area.

Air-conditioning system for a commercial vehicle

Disclosed is a motor vehicle air-conditioning system in which individual air-conditioning zones can be air-conditioned independently. The air-conditioning system is divided into four partial regions by partitions. In order to provide as small a construction space as possible as well as simple regulation, the coolant stream through the heater ( ) is regulatable, in order to bring the entire heater ( ) to a specific temperature. Thus, air flowing through the heater ( ) can be controlled to a maximum temperature dependent on the temperature of the heater ( ), corresponding to the (warmest) air temperature desired in one of the interior zones (HL, VL, VR, HR). In the other region(s) (B , B , B , B ) of the air-conditioning system ( ), the temperature of the air to be introduced into the other interior zone(s) (HL, VL, VR, HR) can be lowered by means of cold air guided via a bypass ( R, R).

Air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle

A cooling apparatus is disclosed which includes a housing and a plurality of chambers which are arranged therein, sealed tightly and filled with a storage medium. The chambers have a substantially flat cross section and are arranged in at least one group. Passages extend between the chambers. The chambers of a group are combined to form a block, and at least one passage is provided between each pair of adjacent chambers. Each of the passages is connected to distribution and collection chambers formed in the housing, in the area of the distribution and collection chambers, with at least one feed port and a return port.

Cold storage unit

A particular device is provided for heating and/or air conditioning a vehicle interior. Housings for air conditioners of motor vehicles, typically, are relatively cumbersome to manufacture because of the need to install control flaps in front of and behind the heater. Sealing of the heater in its installation housing is also difficult. It is proposed, therefore, to make the housing for receiving the heater in two parts and to provide a plug-in part for the heater as well as a frame that can be snapped onto the plug-in part as a closure. Both the plug-in part and the frame are provided with an integral control flap arrangement.

Device for heating and/or air conditioning a vehicle interior

An instrument panel for a motor vehicle comprises a plurality of layers which have voided areas. The plurality of layers are fitted together to construct an instrument panel so that the voided areas cooperate to form one or more air ducts that can extend in three-dimensions.
