AIR CONDITIONER FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174044 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.
- Includes an air conditioning case with an air flow path.
- Cooling heat exchanger and heating heat exchanger provided sequentially on the air flow path.
- Defrost vent, face vent, and floor vent formed on the air conditioning case.
- Hot air duct allows hot air from the heating heat exchanger to flow to the outlet of the floor vent.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, buses, and RVs, to provide a more comfortable environment for occupants by regulating the temperature distribution inside the vehicle.
Problems Solved
This innovation addresses the issue of uneven temperature distribution within a vehicle, specifically focusing on preventing an occupant's head from getting hot by improving the vertical temperature difference between different vents.
Benefits
- Enhanced comfort for vehicle occupants. - Efficient temperature regulation. - Improved air circulation within the vehicle.
Potential Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry for vehicle air conditioning systems. - Aftermarket vehicle accessories market. - Vehicle rental and transportation services.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing vehicle air conditioning systems that focus on temperature regulation but may not specifically address the issue of preventing an occupant's head from getting hot by improving the vertical temperature difference between vents.
