摘要： In a vehicle air conditioner, a heater core is disposed in an air conditioning case to heat air so that conditioned air is obtained. The air conditioning case has a rear wall surface extending substantially in a vehicle width direction and in a vertical direction, and a foot opening portion is provided in the wall surface at an upper side position of the heater core to extend in an entire width dimension of the wall surface in the vehicle width direction. A foot air duct is connected to the wall surface around the foot opening portion, and extends downwardly to be tilted toward right and left sides. Foot air outlets are provided at a bottom end of the foot air duct to be opened downwardly. Thus, a flow resistance in a foot air-outlet passage can be reduced, and air can be uniformly blown toward a foot area.

摘要： This invention relates to a hybrid electric vehicle component coolant control system and method. The coolant system has an electric pump to move coolant through a closed system including engine and motor components. Such components to be cooled can include any electric motors, power electronics, engine, and transmission. The preferred embodiment controls coolant flow to the vehicle engine and motor in a single closed loop. Vehicle components have temperature sensors that send temperature signals to an electric coolant pump duty cycle control strategy. The control strategy makes a determination of a duty cycle of the electric coolant pump as a function of the temperatures of vehicle components and orders the duty cycle of the electric pump. In the preferred configuration, engine temperature sensors can acquire either engine coolant temperature or engine cylinder head temperature. The preferred configuration includes a heater core in the coolant flow path connected between vehicle components and the electric coolant pump return, whereby passenger heating requests are facilitated. Several coolant flow paths among the vehicle components are possible including a parallel and series configuration. The control system can also use a rolling average filter routine connected between the temperature sensor for the motor and the control strategy to determine the average temperature of the motor.

摘要： In a vehicle air conditioner, an air conditioning case has a front air passage and a rear air passage through which air is blown to a front seat side and a rear seat side in a passenger compartment, respectively. The air conditioner includes an air-blowing amount determination unit for determining an air-blowing amount of a blower, and a correction unit for increasing the air-blowing amount determined by the determination unit when the rear air passage is opened. The correction unit increases an increase amount of the air-blowing amount to be larger in a face mode, than that in a bi-level mode.

摘要： A compact vehicle heating system and method is provided which includes mechanisms to selectively shut down heating systems. For example, when domestic hot water is required, space heating and engine preheating systems can be shut down in order to provide priority heating to the domestic hot water. When the demand for domestic hot water is lower, the space heating and engine preheat systems can be reactivated.

摘要： In a heat generator for a vehicle according to the present invention, an operation chamber defined in the heat generator is composed of a heat generation area (7) which receives therein a rotor, a storage area (8) which contains viscous fluid, and a boundary opening (9) of a relatively large surface area, which connects the two areas. The boundary opening is provided with a pair of transfer openings (35A, 35B) in a point-symmetric arrangement with respect to the rotation axis C of the rotor. Guide portions (41A, 41B), each corresponding to each of the openings, are provided in the storage area. With this structure, since at least one of the transfer openings and the guide portion corresponding thereto are located below the surface level L of the viscous fluid regardless of the attachment angle of the heat generator, the exchange and circulation of the viscous fluid can be carried out between the heat generation area and the storage area, in accordance with the rotation of the rotor.

摘要： In an air conditioning apparatus for a vehicle, an amount of hot water flowing from an engine into a heater core is adjusted by a flow control valve so that temperature of air blown from the heater core is adjusted. A water pump driven by the engine is disposed in a water circuit so that hot water circulates between the engine and the heater core. The flow control valve includes a bypass passage through which hot water bypasses the heater core and a pressure response valve for adjusting an opening degree of the bypass passage. An opening degree of the flow control valve is controlled by a control unit so that the amount of hot water flowing into the heater core is adjusted. In the air conditioning apparatus, the opening degree of the flow control valve is corrected by the control unit to reduce variation in the amount of hot water flowing into the heater core due to variation in a rotation speed of the engine. Thus, variation in temperature of air blown from the heater core due to the variation in the rotation speed of the engine can be reduced.

摘要： A heat generator comprises a partitioning wall 34 in opposed relation to a rotor in a heat generating area, in which the partitioning wall is formed with a supply groove 38 for introducing the viscous fluid to the outer peripheral area of the heat generating area from a storage area, and a recovery groove 39 for leading out the viscous fluid to the storage area from the outer peripheral area of the heat generating area. The shape, position and the mounting angle of the supply groove 38 and the recovery groove 39 are designed to set the outflow ratio &agr; to not more than 0.92. The outflow ratio &agr; is defined as the ratio (&agr;=Qout1/Qin) of the amount Qout1 of the viscous fluid flowing out from the heat generating area due to the forcible transfer function of the recovery groove 39 to the total amount Qin of the viscous fluid flowing from the storage area into the heat generating area.
