Abstract:
A silencer for a vehicle air conditioning system is designed to reduce a noise and a vibration of a compressor transmitted into a vehicle room along coolant pipes. The silencer includes a silencer body tube and an external resonance tube. The silencer body tube is installed between the coolant pipes wherein a coolant gas flowing along the coolant pipes passes through the silencer body tube, the silencer body tube including one or more resonance holes formed on an outer circumferential surface of the silencer body tube. The external resonance tube is installed on the outer circumferential surface of the silencer body tube wherein a resonance chamber for absorbing a vibration and a noise of a coolant gas flowing through the silencer body tube is defined between the outer circumferential surface of the silencer body tube and the external resonance tube.
Abstract:
A method of passively suppressing noise within a heat exchanger comprises the steps of preselecting a plurality of sound wave travel distances formed between a plurality of surfaces within the heat exchanger to cause destructive interference of a preselected set of sound waves as the sound waves travel the preselected sound wave travel distances and assembling the heat exchanger to have the preselected plurality of sound wave travel distances formed between the plurality of surfaces formed within the heat exchanger.

Particularly, the heat source part is disposed between the first and second heat radiating plates, and the rod sidewall is provided integrally with the first heat radiating plate.
Abstract:
A smell generation time predicting device is used for a vehicle air conditioner which includes an evaporator installed in an internal path of an air conditioner case and configured to, when the air conditioner is turned on, cool an air blown into a vehicle room. The device includes a first temperature detector, a second temperature detector, and a control unit. The first temperature detector and the second temperature detector are installed at a downstream side of the evaporator in a mutually spaced-apart relationship. The control unit is configured to, when the air conditioner is turned off, predict a smell generation time in the evaporator depending on a temperature difference between the air temperatures detected by the first temperature detector and second temperature detector.
Abstract:
A refrigerant scroll compressor for a motor vehicle air conditioning system having a fixed scroll, a orbiting scroll engaging with the fixed scroll, wherein the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll cooperate to compress a refrigerant gas. An intermediate pressure chamber is disposed adjacent the orbiting scroll, an oil return duct provides fluid communication between the intermediate pressure chamber and a high pressure area of the refrigerant scroll compressor, and at least one intermediate pressure duct is formed in one of the orbiting scroll and fixed scroll and is in fluid communication with the intermediate pressure chamber.
Abstract:
A valve block assembly for multiple valves, in particular expansion valves and/or shut-off valves, includes a valve block having a plurality of flow paths for fluids and a plurality of adjustment units with assigned drive units, wherein the valve block is designed as comprising two parts, these being a flow path element with the flow paths and a limiting element.
Abstract:
A hinge assembly for coupling a rotor assembly to a swash plate assembly in a variable displacement compressor includes a hub integrally formed with the swash plate assembly and a pair of spaced part arms coupled to the hub and extending outwardly therefrom. Each of the arms having an aperture formed in a distal end thereof. At least one support member extending from the rotor assembly and having a slot formed therein. A hinge pin is slideably received in the slot of the at least one support member and received in the aperture of each of the arms to hingedly couple the arms to the at least one support member.
Abstract:
A heat pump system for a vehicle includes a dehumidification line for supplying some refrigerant circulating in a refrigerant circulation line to an evaporator before the refrigerant is introduced into an exterior heat exchanger after passing a first expansion means so as to dehumidify the interior of the vehicle in a heat pump mode, thereby allowing the refrigerant to smoothly flow to the evaporator at a low pressure through the dehumidification line before the refrigerant is introduced into the exterior heat exchanger which has a higher pressure than the evaporator when the interior of the vehicle is dehumidified, and smoothly dehumidifying the inside of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A positive temperature coefficient heater includes PTC elements embedded in adjacent heat rods, the PTC elements of the adjacent heat rods include center lines mismatched with each other and configured to minimize regions in which the PTC elements are overlapped with each other in the heat rods in which a plurality of PTC elements spaced apart from each other so as to form columns and rows and arranged in a single layer are embedded.
Abstract:
A heat pump system for a vehicle delays the change of the direction of a directional valve for a given period of time and then conducts the change of the direction of the directional valve, upon receiving the mode change signal between an air conditioner mode and a heat pump mode, thus preventing the generation of the noise and vibration caused by the differential pressure of a refrigerant.
