Heating, ventilation and air conditioning system with temperature mixing in connection with a hot air channel and a cold air channel
The invention relates to a device for tempering and ventilating of motor vehicles with an air inlet opening and an air outlet region, wherein air flows are distributed into different vehicle regions. The device is provided with a basic casing, through which a partition extends to divide the flow path of the air from the air inlet opening to the air outlet region into two flow paths. In one flow path, a waste heat exchanger is arranged to heat the air.
1 . A device for tempering and ventilating of motor vehicles with an air inlet opening and an air outlet region, from which air flows are distributed into different vehicle regions by a distribution casing, the device comprising:
a hollow casing having a partition disposed therein to divide a flow path of air from the air inlet opening to the air outlet region into a first flow path and a second flow path;
an evaporator disposed in said casing upstream of the partition;
a heat exchanger disposed in the first flow path to heat air flowing through the first flow path;
a temperature door disposed in said casing to selectively control flow of air through the first flow path and the second flow path;
a hot air bypass channel formed on said casing adjacent the air outlet region and upstream of the distribution casing, said hot air bypass channel having an inlet opening and an outlet opening formed therein, the inlet opening in fluid communication with the air outlet region and the outlet opening in fluid communication with the distribution casing adjacent a defroster outlet of said casing; and
a cold air bypass channel formed in said casing, said cold air bypass channel having an inlet opening adjacent said evaporator and an outlet opening adjacent an instrument panel outlet of said casing.
2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said temperature door is disposed downstream of the partition.
3 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein said temperature door is angled towards the partition.
4 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein said temperature door has a concave curve facing towards the partition such that at end stop positions, one of the first flow path and the second flow path is closed, and at an intermediate position, air of the first flow path is at least partially directed into air of the second flow path.
5 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein an air guide plate having a bend in a direction of flow is arranged upstream of the partition such that it divides the first flow path into two flow paths.
6 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein up to three walls of the hot air bypass channel and the cold air bypass channel form part of the case, wherein additional covers complete said hot air bypass channel and said cold air bypass channel.
7 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said hot air bypass channel is substantially U-shaped.
8 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said hot air bypass channel includes a pair of inlets.
9 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet of said hot air bypass channel is positioned in a base portion of the U-shape.
10 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said hot air bypass channel is tunable.
11 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said cold air bypass channel is tunable.
