AIR CONDITIONER DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18118924 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The air conditioning device for a vehicle described in the abstract includes a housing with separate inflow, heat exchange, and outflow spaces, a blowing unit, a heat exchange unit, and an opening-closing door to control the flow of conditioned air.

• The housing is divided into distinct spaces for air inflow, heat exchange, and outflow, with discharge ports for conditioned air to flow into the interior.
• The blowing unit is responsible for blowing air into the inflow space of the housing.
• The heat exchange unit is located in the heat exchange space of the housing and adjusts the temperature of conditioned air by exchanging heat with the air.
• The opening-closing door in the outflow space of the housing controls the flow of conditioned air to the discharge ports.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, buses, and other modes of transportation that require air conditioning systems.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently adjusting the temperature of conditioned air for different modes while reducing flow resistance.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved comfort for vehicle occupants, energy efficiency, and customizable temperature control for different modes of operation.

Potential Commercial Applications

Commercial applications of this technology include automotive industry suppliers, manufacturers of air conditioning systems for vehicles, and companies specializing in vehicle climate control solutions.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional vehicle air conditioning systems that may not have the same level of temperature control and efficiency as the described invention.

How does this technology compare to existing vehicle air conditioning systems in terms of energy efficiency and performance?

The article does not provide a direct comparison between this technology and existing vehicle air conditioning systems in terms of energy efficiency and performance.

What are the potential maintenance requirements for this air conditioning device in a vehicle?

The article does not address the potential maintenance requirements for this air conditioning device in a vehicle.

Original Abstract Submitted

An air conditioning device for a vehicle includes: a housing having an inside divided into an inflow space, a heat exchange space, and an outflow space, which are straightly arranged, and having a plurality of discharge ports, which communicates with an interior, at the inflow space; a blowing unit disposed at the inflow space of the housing and configured to blow air; a heat exchange unit disposed at the heat exchange space of the housing and configured to adjust a temperature of conditioned air by exchanging heat with air; and an opening-closing door disposed at the outflow space of the housing and configured to open and close the plurality of discharge ports such that conditioned air at an adjusted temperature selectively flows to the plurality of discharge ports. The air conditioning device adjusts the temperature of conditioned air for respective modes and reduces a flow resistance of air.
