AIR COMPRESSOR FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17736730 titled 'AIR COMPRESSOR FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE OF THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an air compressor apparatus for a vehicle that can maintain its internal temperature and discharge temperature even in cold environments. It also includes a method for controlling the temperature of the apparatus.

  • The apparatus consists of a compressor body driven by a motor, a support bracket for the compressor body that can be attached to the vehicle, and a heat exchanger located on one side of the support bracket.
  • The heat exchanger is designed to raise the temperature of external air and generate heated air, which is then provided to the compressor body.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This air compressor apparatus can be used in vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or buses, to ensure the proper functioning of the compressor even in cold weather conditions.
  • It can also be utilized in various industrial settings where air compressors are required, such as manufacturing plants or construction sites.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Cold environments can negatively affect the performance of air compressors, leading to reduced efficiency and potential damage. This technology solves the problem by maintaining the internal temperature and discharge temperature of the compressor, ensuring optimal operation even in cold weather.

Benefits of this technology:

  • By maintaining the appropriate temperature, the air compressor can operate efficiently and effectively, providing consistent air pressure for various applications.
  • The ability to control the temperature of the compressor in cold environments extends the lifespan of the equipment and reduces the risk of damage or breakdowns.
  • This technology improves the overall reliability and performance of air compressors, enhancing the productivity and safety of vehicles and industrial operations.


Original Abstract Submitted

An air compressor apparatus for a vehicle configured for appropriately maintaining an internal temperature and a discharge temperature thereof even in a cold environment, and a method for controlling a temperature of the same, includes a compressor body driven by a first motor; a support bracket supporting the compressor body and configured to be coupled to the vehicle; and a heat exchanger provided on one side of the support bracket, and configured for raising a temperature of external air to generate heated air and provide the heated air to the compressor body.
