A Fluid Flow Control System (FFCS) door assembly includes a continuous belt and a plurality of rollers. The plurality of rollers support the continuous belt and define a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment. The continuous belt includes a plurality of openings that selectively allow fluid flow to pass through the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, and the fourth segment when two openings of the plurality of openings align with the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, or the fourth segment.

Film door belt fluid flow control system

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system including a plurality of airflow control doors. A plurality of door gears are in cooperation with the plurality of airflow control doors such that rotation of each one of the plurality of door gears actuates a different one of the plurality of airflow control doors to control airflow through the HVAC system. A selector gear is moveable to individually rotate each one of the plurality of door gears to selectively actuate different ones of the plurality of airflow control doors. A power gear rotates the selector gear.

HVAC door actuation system

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system including an HVAC assembly, a set of pins, mode doors, a mode plate, an actuator, and an HVAC control module. The mode doors control airflow from the HVAC assembly. A position of each mode door is controlled by a corresponding pin of the set of pins. The mode plate includes (i) a set of grooves, (ii) a first adjustment path and (iii) a second adjustment path. The first adjustment path causes a first pin of the set of pins to move toward a center. The second adjustment path causes the first pin to move away from the center of the mode plate. An HVAC module selectively actuates the actuator to causes the mode plate to rotate in at least one of a passive direction and the active direction in response to receiving a mode request.
