FLUID COUPLING OF A CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18073845 titled 'FLUID COUPLING OF A CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a fluid connection system for a vehicle that allows for fluid communication between a container and the vehicle's climate control system.
- The system includes a container with at least one passage for fluid communication.
- The container is selectively coupled with a compartment of the vehicle.
- At least one port on the compartment connects to the vehicle's climate control system.
- The passage in the container connects to the port when the container is coupled with the compartment.
- The port has an elongated cross-sectional area at the connection interface with the passage.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Selective coupling of the container with the vehicle compartment.
- Fluid communication between the container and the vehicle's climate control system.
- Elongated cross-sectional area of the port for efficient fluid transfer.
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, to improve climate control systems.
Problems Solved: The system provides a reliable and efficient way to connect the container with the vehicle's climate control system for optimal performance.
Benefits:
- Enhanced fluid communication between the container and the climate control system.
- Improved efficiency and reliability of the vehicle's climate control system.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the performance of climate control systems in vehicles, potentially leading to increased customer satisfaction and market competitiveness.
Prior Art: Information on prior art related to this specific fluid connection system is not provided in the abstract.
Frequently Updated Research: There is no information on frequently updated research related to this technology in the abstract.
Questions about Fluid Connection System: 1. What are the specific advantages of having a fluid connection system between a container and a vehicle's climate control system? 2. How does the elongated cross-sectional area of the port contribute to the efficiency of fluid transfer in this system?
Original Abstract Submitted
A fluid connection for a vehicle includes a container selectively coupled with a compartment of the vehicle. The container includes at least one passage in fluid communication with an interior of the container. At least one port is disposed on the compartment and in fluid communication with a climate control system in the vehicle. The at least one passage is in fluid communication with the at least one port when the container is coupled with the compartment. The at least one port has an elongated cross-sectional area at a connection interface between the at least one port and the at least one passage.
