AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18102374 titled 'AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an air conditioning system for vehicles that includes an outdoor duct to discharge cooled or heated air to the outside of the vehicle, along with an outdoor door to control air flow through the outdoor duct.

  • Introduction part introduces air into the air conditioning unit.
  • Temperature adjustment parts cool or heat the introduced air.
  • Discharge part releases the cooled or heated air into the vehicle.
  • Outdoor duct is connected to the discharge part to discharge air outside.
  • Outdoor door controls air flow through the outdoor duct.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles, to provide efficient cooling and heating solutions.

Problems Solved

1. Efficiently controlling the flow of cooled or heated air both inside and outside the vehicle. 2. Providing a system that can effectively regulate the temperature within the vehicle.

Benefits

1. Improved comfort for passengers by maintaining a consistent temperature inside the vehicle. 2. Energy-efficient cooling and heating solutions for vehicles. 3. Enhanced air quality by controlling the flow of air inside and outside the vehicle.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Efficient Air Conditioning System for Vehicles: Enhancing Passenger Comfort and Energy Efficiency"

Possible Prior Art

Original Abstract Submitted

An air conditioning system includes an air conditioning unit that includes an introduction part that introduces air, a plurality of temperature adjustment parts that cool or heat introduced air, and a discharge part that discharges cooled or heated air to an inside of the vehicle. The air conditioning system further includes an outdoor duct connected to a discharge-part side of the air conditioning unit and extending toward an outdoor side of the vehicle to discharge the cooled or heated air to an outside of the vehicle. Additionally, the air conditioning system includes an outdoor door provided on the outdoor duct or on the discharge part of the air conditioning unit around the outdoor duct to control air flow through the outdoor duct.
