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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18221721 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER HOUSING FOR A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an air conditioner housing for a vehicle that includes a heat exchanger to cool the air and a discharge port to release condensate water. Blocking portions are placed around the discharge port to prevent blockages by foreign substances.

  • The air conditioner housing of a vehicle has a heat exchanger mounted inside to cool the air.
  • A discharge port at the lower end of the body releases condensate water to the exterior.
  • Blocking portions around the discharge port prevent blockages by foreign substances.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in automotive air conditioning systems to improve efficiency and prevent blockages in the discharge port.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of blockages in the discharge port of air conditioner housings, which can lead to inefficiencies and malfunctions in the system.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved performance of air conditioning systems, reduced maintenance needs, and increased durability of the housing.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology can be commercialized by automotive manufacturers, air conditioning system suppliers, and companies specializing in vehicle cooling systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be air conditioner housings with discharge ports but without blocking portions to prevent blockages.

Unanswered Questions

How does the placement of the blocking portions affect the overall efficiency of the air conditioner housing?

The article does not provide specific details on how the placement of the blocking portions impacts the efficiency of the air conditioner housing. Further research or testing may be needed to determine the optimal placement for maximum efficiency.

Are there any alternative materials that could be used for the blocking portions to enhance their effectiveness?

The article does not mention any specific materials used for the blocking portions. Exploring alternative materials that may improve the effectiveness of the blocking portions could be a potential area for further research and development.


Original Abstract Submitted

An air conditioner housing of a vehicle includes a body having an internal space through which air flows and having a heat exchanger mounted at the internal space. The heat exchanger cools the air. A discharge port is at a lower end of the body and provides fluid communication between the internal space and an exterior of the body and discharges condensate water generated from the heat exchanger to the exterior. A plurality of blocking portions is disposed around the discharge port and protrudes into the internal space, thereby preventing foreign substances inside the body from directly blocking the discharge port.
