AIR CONDITIONER FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18511712 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an air conditioner for a vehicle that aims to prevent an occupant's head from getting hot by improving the vertical temperature difference between a defrost vent and a floor vent.
- Air conditioner for a vehicle designed to prevent an occupant's head from getting hot
- Improves vertical temperature difference between defrost vent and floor vent
- Includes air conditioning case with air flow path
- Cooling heat exchanger and heating heat exchanger provided sequentially on air flow path
- Defrost vent, face vent, and floor vent formed on air conditioning case
- Hot air duct allows hot air from downstream side of heating heat exchanger to flow to outlet of floor vent
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles, to enhance the comfort of occupants by maintaining a more consistent temperature distribution within the vehicle cabin.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of uneven temperature distribution within a vehicle cabin, particularly the discomfort caused by a hot head due to a lack of proper air circulation and temperature control.
Benefits
- Improved comfort for vehicle occupants - Enhanced air circulation and temperature control - Prevention of hot spots within the vehicle cabin
Potential Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry for vehicle air conditioning systems - Aftermarket vehicle accessories market for air conditioning upgrades and improvements
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional vehicle air conditioning systems that may not effectively address the issue of uneven temperature distribution within the cabin, leading to discomfort for occupants.
