QUAD ZONE BOOSTER INTAKE LPM COOLING ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025223 titled 'QUAD ZONE BOOSTER INTAKE LPM COOLING ASSEMBLY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes an air-handling system for a vehicle that includes a housing with two flow paths for air. A heat exchange passageway connects the two flow paths and a heat sink is placed within the passageway to cool a linear power module of a blower assembly. The heat sink exchanges heat with the air in the passageway to provide cooling for the power module, regardless of the blower assembly's mode of operation.

  • The air-handling system is designed for vehicles.
  • The system has a housing with two flow paths for air.
  • A heat exchange passageway connects the two flow paths.
  • A heat sink is placed within the passageway.
  • The heat sink is associated with cooling a linear power module of a blower assembly.
  • The heat sink exchanges heat with the air in the passageway.
  • The cooling of the power module is independent of the blower assembly's mode of operation.

Potential Applications

  • Automotive industry: The air-handling system can be used in various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, to provide efficient cooling for the linear power module of the blower assembly.

Problems Solved

  • Overheating of power module: The system solves the problem of overheating in the linear power module of the blower assembly by providing effective cooling through the heat exchange passageway and heat sink.

Benefits

  • Improved reliability: The cooling provided by the heat exchange passageway and heat sink ensures the linear power module of the blower assembly remains at a safe temperature, increasing its reliability and lifespan.
  • Enhanced performance: By preventing overheating, the system allows the blower assembly to operate optimally, leading to improved performance and efficiency.
  • Versatile operation: The cooling of the power module is independent of the blower assembly's mode of operation, providing consistent cooling regardless of the system's activity level.


Original Abstract Submitted

an air-handling system for a vehicle includes a housing defining a first flow path through which a first flow of air is configured to selectively flow and a second flow path through which a second flow of air is configured to selectively flow. a heat exchange passageway provides fluid communication between the first flow path and the second flow path within the housing. a heat sink is disposed within the heat exchange passageway and is associated with cooling a linear power module of a blower assembly disposed within the housing. the heat sink is configured to exchange heat with air disposed within the heat exchange passageway to provide cooling of the linear power module regardless of a mode of operation of the blower assembly.
