A blower assembly including a scroll having a first airflow deflector nose and a second airflow deflector nose, which are offset relative to each other about a circumference of the scroll. A rotor is housed within the scroll. The first airflow deflector nose is configured to deflect airflow generated by the rotor out of the scroll to a first outlet of the blower assembly. The second airflow deflector nose is configured to deflect airflow generated by the rotor out of the scroll to a second outlet of the blower assembly.

Split nose blower scroll

The present disclosure includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) door diagnostic system. The system has a rotatable hard stop lever that contacts, and restricts movement of, both a first airflow control door and a second airflow control door beyond a stop position when both the first airflow control door and the second airflow control door are present and moving in sync. When one of the first and second airflow control doors is not present or the first and second airflow control doors are not in sync, only one of the first and second airflow control doors will: contact the hard stop lever at the stop position, rotate the hard stop lever, and move beyond the stop position. The HVAC door diagnostic system generates a failure notice when the first airflow control door or the second airflow control door moves beyond the stop position.

Hard stop detection device for HVAC door (valve)

An HVAC case having an airflow junction. A mount is at the airflow junction and is configured to individually mount a door and an airflow blocker at the airflow junction. The door is mounted at the mount of the airflow junction to configure the HVAC case for use with HVAC systems configured for airflow through the airflow junction. The airflow blocker is mounted at the mount of the airflow junction to configure the HVAC case for use with HVAC systems not configured for airflow through the airflow junction.

HVAC case

A system and method is disclosed for communicating data and transmitting information between roadside infrastructure units regarding vehicle data. In some embodiments, the roadside infrastructure units have one or more communication nodes equipped with a wireless transceiver configured to communicate wirelessly with a vehicle such as a dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) or cellular system. Each communication node can also wirelessly communicate with one or more of the other remaining communication nodes in, for example, a mesh network. One of the communication nodes can establish a connection with the vehicle via DSRC, obtain vehicle-specific data, and transmit at least a portion of this vehicle-specific data to one or more other communication nodes in other roadside infrastructure units. The roadside units can change operation state (e.g., illuminate) in response to receive the vehicle-specific data indicating the vehicle approaching that roadside unit.

Vehicle to infrastructure power saving system

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit including an air inlet, a plurality of air outlets, a heater, and a plurality of blowers. The plurality of blowers are downstream of the heater with respect to a direction of airflow through the HVAC unit from the air inlet to the plurality of air outlets. The plurality of blowers are configured to control air distribution through the plurality of air outlets.

HVAC unit including blowers for directing airflow through the HVAC unit

A door for an air conditioning unit includes a door body, a shaft, and a locking portion. The door body includes a sleeve. The shaft is inserted into the sleeve. The locking portion is disposed in the sleeve and the shaft. The shaft is detachably engaged to the sleeve through the locking portion.
