==VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374710 titled 'VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a front structure of a fuel cell vehicle that helps prevent blowing wind from hitting a water heater located in the front compartment. The vehicle is equipped with a water heater that heats water to warm air for air-conditioning in the front compartment, which is separated from the vehicle cabin by a dash panel. A front trunk is provided within the front compartment, divided from other spaces by wall portions, with the water heater located behind the rear wall portion of the front trunk.

* Fuel cell vehicle front structure design to protect water heater
* Water heater heats water for air-conditioning in front compartment
* Front trunk with wall portions separates spaces
* Water heater located behind rear wall portion of front trunk

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be applied in various fuel cell vehicles to improve the efficiency and functionality of the heating and air-conditioning systems.

== Problems Solved ==
This innovation solves the problem of blowing wind hitting the water heater in the front compartment of a fuel cell vehicle, ensuring proper functioning of the heating system.

== Benefits ==
- Enhanced protection for the water heater
- Improved efficiency of the air-conditioning system
