A battery pack includes battery modules each having a battery cell and a battery case housing the battery cell therein. The battery modules are stacked in a stacking direction so that a cooling passage for allowing a cooling medium to flow is defined between opposed surfaces of adjacent battery cases. One of the opposed surfaces has first ribs projecting toward the other of the opposed surfaces and extending parallel to each other along the one. The other of the opposed surfaces has second ribs projecting toward the one of the opposed surfaces and extending parallel to each other along the other. In the cooling passage, the first ribs and the second ribs intersect each other and end portions of the first ribs and end portions of the second ribs are in contact with each other in the stacking direction.

There are provided a water-refrigerant heat exchangerfor exchanging heat between refrigerant discharged from a compressorand engine-cooling water circulating an engine-cooling water circuitprior to being fed into the radiatorand a bypassfor guiding the refrigerant prior to being fed into the evaporatorto the water-coolant heat exchangerwhile bypassing the evaporatorand the compressorWhen it is desired to accelerate the warming-up of the enginethe bypassis closed to operate the compressorto heat the engine-cooling water by high-pressure refrigerant, and when it is desired to complement the capacity of the radiatorthe bypassis open to guide the liquid-phase refrigerant to the water-refrigerant heat exchangerto effectively cool the refrigerant by using the phase change of the refrigerant.

Heat control system

There are provided an air mixing door, a plurality of outlets for blowing air into respective portions in a vehicle compartment, outlet mode doors for switching a outlet mode by closing and opening the plurality of outlets, and one motor actuator for driving the air mixing door and the outlet mode doors. The outlet mode doors and the air-mixing door are alternately driven through a change of an operation angle of the motor actuator.

Air conditioner for vehicle and air conditioning unit driving apparatus

In an air passage opening/closing device for a vehicle air conditioner, a driving member is disposed to apply driving force for a reciprocating movement of a film member to at least one position of the film member, and a guide member is provided in an air-conditioning case to guide the reciprocating movement of the film member. The film member has a flexible performance to move in a bend path, and has a rigidity to be moved along the guide member when pushing force from the driving member is applied to the film member. Thus, the air passage opening/closing device using the film member has a simple structure without a film-winding mechanism.

Air passage opening/closing device for vehicle air conditioner

In a vehicle air-conditioning system, plural electrical members such as a blower controller, servomotors and a post-evaporator temperature sensor are collectively disposed on an electrical circuit board integrally formed with an evaporator case cover for closing a side surface of an evaporator case. Therefore, a wire structure of an electrical connection or a wire harness can be made simple. Further, because an elastically deformable sensor-pressing portion for pressing the post-evaporator sensor toward an evaporator side surface is integrally formed with the evaporator case cover integrated with the electrical circuit board, a contact pressure of a temperature sensitive portion of the post-evaporator sensor onto the evaporator side surface can be maintained.

Vehicle air-conditioning system with arrangement of electrical member

A differential mechanism is provided between first output shaft, to which the rotation of the drive motor is transmitted, and second output shaft, to which the rotation of first output shaft is transmitted, for adjusting the relative positions of these two output shafts. An air-mix door is connected to first output shaft, and a blowout mode door is connected to second output shaft. The rotation of the drive motor is used to operate the air-mix door and the blowout mode door in linkage, and the blowout mode door is designed to be able to be independently operated by the operation of movable lever of differential gear mechanism.

Vehicular air-conditioning apparatus

In a centrifugal type blower unit, a diameter of an air suction port is set to be larger than a minimum inner diameter of a centrifugal fan, and a slanting portion is formed in each blade of the centrifugal fan at a side of the air suction port so that an inner radius dimension of the centrifugal fan is increased toward the air suction port. Therefore, it can prevent sub-flow air which is sucked into the centrifugal fan from an end side of the blades in an axial direction from interfering with main-flow air which is sucked into the centrifugal fan from an inner radius side of the blades. Thus, the blower unit can reduce second noise generated therefrom without greatly reducing air-blowing capacity.

Centrifugal type blower unit

An electric power unit is composed of a secondary battery, a cooling fan, a fan motor and a case for the secondary battery, the cooling fan and the fan motor. The case has a partition for isolating the fan motor from the secondary battery and cooling fan. A magnetic joint is disposed between the motor and the cooling fan.

Electric power unit

An air conditioning system suitable for automotive application is disclosed, in which the noise in the frequency range of about 1 kHz to 2 kHz is reduced. At least a sound absorbing member is arranged over the portions extending from a turning section of an air path where the air blown under pressure from a blower impinges and changes direction toward a heat exchanger, i.e. from the spiral end of a scroll casing to the front of an evaporator.

Air conditioning system

An automotive air conditioner comprises an offset blower for blowing an air, an evaporator is centrally disposed within a dashboard and receives the air from below, and a heater approximately horizontally disposed above the evaporator. The evaporator inclines downward along the direction of the air flow. A plurality of condensed water guide plates are provided under the evaporator so as to allow a condensed water smoothly flow on the surface of each guide plate and is discharged from the evaporator through a condensed water drain pipe.

Automotive air conditioner

In a centrifugal blower in which the outer periphery of an intake opening is arranged outside of the inner edge of a main blade, a large number of sub blades are provided in the intake opening at a location corresponding to the main blade. The sub blades lead the secondary air flowing from an outside area of the intake opening to a rotating direction of a centrifugal multi blade fan. Thus, the secondary air flows from the sub blade to the main blade smoothly, thereby increasing a secondary air flow amount and reducing air flow noise.

Centrifugal blower having a plurality of sub blades

A position of a second permanent magnet with respect to a first permanent magnet is defined by assembling a driving side support member, a thrust bearing, a spacing member, a radial bearing, and a driven side support member. The first and second permanent magnets are respectively held on the driving side support member and the driven side support member. Accordingly, variation of a magnetic gap between the first and second permanent magnets can be reduced. Variations in assembling the parts hardly affect the variation of the magnetic gap.

Magnet coupling including permanent magnets disposed to define magnetic

A deodorizing filter for adsorbing malodorous particles in air is disposed at a downstream air side of a circumferential wall of an inside/outside air switching rotary door which opens and closes inside and outside air intake ports. A gap having a predetermined distance is provided between the deodorizing filter and the circumferential wall of the rotary door. The deodorizing filter is rotated integrally with the rotary door. When the rotary door is rotated to open both the outside and inside air intake ports at their intermediately opened positions, the inside air flowing from the inside air intake port directly flows into an outlet side of an inside/outside air switching box, and the outside air introduced from the outside air intake port passes through the gap and the deodorizing filter and flows into the outlet side of the inside/outside air switching box.
