摘要:
According to the present invention, when a vehicle speed is less than a set value (e.g., 40 km/h) and a throttle opening degree is more than a set value, it is determined that the vehicle is accelerating, and a viscous clutch (6) is turned off. Therefore, a shearing operation of high-viscosity fluid by a rotor (53) of a viscous heater (7) is not performed. In this way, a driving load applied to an engine is reduced, so that an accelerating state suitable for an intention of a driver can be obtained. Further, when the vehicle speed is more than a set value (e.g., 40 km/h) and an engine rotational speed is more than a set value (e.g., 3500 r.p.m.), the viscous clutch (6) is turned off, and a driving load applied to the engine and a V-belt (4) is reduced.

A viscous heater (9) for heating cooling water for cooling a water cooled engine (E) is provided in a cooling water circuit between the engine and a front heater core (15). Even if a viscous switch (73) is turned on by a viscous ECU (200) to heat a passenger compartment using the viscous heater, a viscous clutch (7) is not immediately turned on when the engine is idling. That is, after a delay control time elapses after increasing an idling rotational speed of the engine to a target rotational speed, the viscous heater is turned on. The target rotational speed which is higher than a normal idling rotational speed is set in such a manner that the higher the cooling water temperature is, the lower the target rotational speed becomes. Thus, even if a large load is applied to the engine by operating the viscous heater when the engine is idling, it can improve fuel economy and prevent an engine stall.
摘要:
A vehicle air conditioner that inhibits re-evaporation of condensed water on the surface of an evaporator (18) that might fog the inner surface of the vehicle windshield during operation of a hot gas heating cycle heating mode (H). It is possible to switch operation of a cooling mode (C) by an ordinary refrigerating cycle by opening the inlet side of a condenser and closing the inlet side of a hot gas bypass passage. It is also possible to switch the operation of the heating mode (H) by closing the inlet side of the condenser and opening the inlet side of the hot gas bypass passage. When it is determined during operation of the heating mode that the windshield will fog, operation of the air conditioning compressor (10) is interrupted by the air conditioning control unit (26) so that the temperature of an evaporator (18) reaches no more than a predetermined value.
摘要:
A viscous fluid type heat generator which includes a housing assembly defining a heat generating chamber (5) and a heat receiving chamber (13,14) arranged adjacent to the heat generating chamber via a partition wall (2,3) disposed therebetween. A rotor element (11) is mounted to be rotated by a drive shaft (8) for rotation within the heat generating chamber (5). A viscous fluid is held in a gap defined between the inner wall surfaces of the heat generating chamber (5) and the outer faces of the rotor element (11), for heat generation under shearing stress applied by the rotation of the rotor element (11). A heat exchanging fluid circulates through the heat receiving chamber (13,14) to receive heat transferred through the partition wall from the heat generating chamber. A plurality of grooves (23a,23b) are formed on at least one of the inner wall surfaces of the heat generating chamber (13,14) to increase a total heat transfer surface area in the inner wall surfaces, and thus to enhance a heat transfer efficiency through the partition wall. The density of arrangement of the grooves (23a,23b) in the outer peripheral area of the inner wall surface is larger than that in the inner peripheral area of the latter.

摘要:
A refrigeration cycle is switched from a refrigeration cycle circuit to a hot gas heater circuit to make the hot gas discharged from a compressor flow into an evaporator and heat the vehicle passenger compartment, at which time, when a suction pressure (Ps) of the compressor becomes a low pressure below a first predetermined pressure, the discharge volume (Vc) of the compressor is made larger to ensure a sufficient auxiliary heating performance. Further, when the hot gas is made to flow into the evaporator to heat the vehicle passenger compartment, if the suction pressure (Ps) of the compressor becomes a higher pressure over a second predetermined pressure, the discharge volume (Vc) of the compressor is made smaller to protect the refrigeration cycle parts and lighten the ON, OFF shock.
摘要:
A refrigerating cycle apparatus (20) that inhibits system corrosion and abnormally high pressure during startup of a first refrigerant circuit (21) by preventing air from penetrating into a refrigerant compressor during low-temperature startup of a second auxiliary refrigerant circuit (22). An apparatus evaporator (6) heats air flowing through an air conditioning duct (2) as a high temperature/high pressure gas refrigerant discharged from an engine-driven compressor (7) is guided through a pressure-reducing unit (29) and the evaporator (6), bypassing a condenser (25). Thereafter, the refrigerant is returned to the compressor (7), which is automatically stopped when a compressor suction pressure (PS), or a physical quantity representative of the suction pressure (PS), becomes lower than a predetermined value.
摘要:
A heating apparatus for a vehicle includes a heat exchanger for implementing heat exchange between coolant which has cooled an engine and air directed to a vehicle interior to heat the vehicle interior. A viscous heater has a rotor and a heating chamber containing viscous fluid. The rotor rotates when being subjected to rotational power of the engine. The viscous fluid is subjected to a shear force and is heated when the rotor is subjected to the rotational power. The viscous heater heats the coolant fed to the heat exchanger as the viscous fluid in the heating chamber is heated. A clutch is operative for selectively permitting and inhibiting transmission of the rotational power from the engine to the rotor. A belt transmission device connects the engine and the clutch. A physical quantity detecting device is operative for detecting a physical quantity related to a rotational speed of the rotor. A control device is operative for controlling the clutch to inhibit the transmission of the rotational power from the engine to the rotor when the physical quantity detected by the physical quantity detecting device is equal to or less than a predetermined value.
