VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240234756 titled 'VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE

The abstract describes a front structure of a fuel cell vehicle that prevents blowing wind from hitting a water heater in the front compartment. The vehicle is equipped with a water heater that warms water to heat air for air-conditioning in the front compartment, separated from the vehicle cabin by a dash panel. A front trunk within the front compartment is divided from other spaces by wall portions, with the water heater located behind the rear wall portion of the front trunk.

  • The front structure of a fuel cell vehicle prevents blowing wind from hitting the water heater in the front compartment.
  • The vehicle's water heater warms water to heat air for air-conditioning in the front compartment.
  • The front trunk within the front compartment is divided by wall portions, with the water heater located behind the rear wall portion.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for fuel cell vehicles - Energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning systems

Problems Solved: - Protection of the water heater from blowing wind - Efficient heating and air-conditioning in the front compartment

Benefits: - Improved performance and longevity of the water heater - Enhanced energy efficiency in heating and air-conditioning systems

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Front Structure for Fuel Cell Vehicles This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for fuel cell vehicles, providing efficient heating and air-conditioning systems for enhanced performance and energy efficiency.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the front structure of the fuel cell vehicle contribute to energy efficiency? - The front structure prevents blowing wind from hitting the water heater, ensuring efficient heating and air-conditioning in the front compartment. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the automotive industry? - This technology can be applied in fuel cell vehicles to improve heating and air-conditioning systems for enhanced performance and energy efficiency.
