A vehicular air conditioning apparatus includes a casing constituted by respective air passages. The casing has a vent opening and a defroster opening at an upper portion thereof. The vent opening is disposed on a forward side of a vehicle with respect to the defroster opening. A pair of defroster ducts extend in lateral directions respectively from side portions of the defroster opening, and center vent ducts are disposed in a straight line fashion from the vent opening and oriented rearwardly of the vehicle between the pair of the defroster ducts. The center vent ducts open only in the vehicle compartment. In a bi-level mode, a third front passage on the downstream side of the evaporator extends upwardly in a straight line fashion.

An air conditioning system for automotive vehicles includes an air conditioning case (10) having an internal passageway (16) and an ionizer (40) for emitting positive ions and negative ions into the internal passageway (16) of the air conditioning case (10). The ionizer includes a main body (42) and first and second discharge electrodes (46,48) extending from the main body into the internal passageway in a spaced-apart relationship with each other. The air conditioning system further includes an electric short preventing arrangement for preventing moisture condensed in and around the first and second discharge electrodes from causing electric short between the first and second discharge electrodes. The electric short preventing arrangement comprises a water drainage rib (52) for draining the moisture positioned in and around the first and second discharge electrodes to prevent the electric short between the first and second discharge electrodes.

Air conditioning system for automotive vehicles

According to one implementation of the present invention, there is provided a radiation image capturing system. The system includes, a radiation source; a plurality of radiation image capturing devices; and a console. The console manages which of the radiation image capturing devices is in a state where image capturing is possible. The console registers image capturing order information including information of which radiation image capturing device is used in the image capturing, or obtains the registered image capturing order information. When there is a radiation image capturing device in a state where image capturing is possible, regardless of a predetermined order, the console displays the icon corresponding to the image capturing order information including information of the radiation image capturing device in a manner different from the other icons.

In a heater core that constitutes part of a vehicular air conditioning apparatus, a plurality of first and second tubes are provided through which heated water flows through the interior thereof, and fins having louvers therein are disposed between the first and second tubes. Further, the heater core is equipped with a first heating section, which faces toward a first front passage through which air from a first blower unit flows, and a second heating section, which faces toward a first rear passage through which air from a second blower unit flows. Between the first heating section and the second heating section, a partitioning fin is disposed for blocking communication of air mutually between the first and second heating sections. Additionally, the first and second tubes are arranged in parallel to the direction in which the partitioning fin extends.

Heat exchanger for vehicular air conditioning apparatus

Air is supplied to the interior of a casing from first and second blower units, such that cool air that has been cooled by an evaporator and warm air that has been heated by a heater core are mixed together and blown out toward a front seat side and a rear seat side of the vehicle, respectively. At this time, a temperature control damper, which adjusts the temperature of air that is blown into the vehicle compartment, causes a flow of warm air having undergone heat exchange in the heater core to be deflected toward a direction where the evaporator is installed. Mixing of the warm air and the cool air can thus be carried out suitably by causing the flow of cool air, which has undergone heat exchange in the evaporator, and the flow of warm air to be oriented in mutually opposite directions.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve riding comfort in a vehicle compartment by controlling the volume and temperature of air blown into the vehicle compartment independently so as to provide warm air and cool air controlled to a desired temperature and prevent a drop in volume and a rise in temperature at maximum cooling.SOLUTION: First and second blower units 206 and 212 supply air to a casing 202, in which cool air cooled by an evaporator 208 and warm air heated by a heater core 210 are mixed together and blown out to front and rear seat sides of the vehicle. At this time, temperature control dampers 252a and 252b for controlling the temperature of air blown out into the vehicle compartment direct the flow of warm air subjected to heat exchange in the heater core 210 in the direction where the evaporator 208 is installed to make the flow of warm air opposite to the flow of cool air subjected to heat exchange in the evaporator 208, so that the cool air and the warm air are mixed appropriately.
