Abstract:
A method for controlling two or more comfort functions of a vehicle uses a controller, wherein a first comfort function is provided by a pneumatic massage system of a vehicle seat including one or more air cushions and an air supply system for individual air impingement of the one or more air cushions, and wherein a second comfort function is provided by an electromechanical vibration system of the vehicle seat independent from the pneumatic massage system and including one or more individually controllable electromechanical vibration devices. The method includes: analyzing a provided audio or video file taking the provided comfort functions into account; orchestrating the audio or video file by generating individual control signals for each comfort function the audio or video file after the analyzing; and synchronized transmitting the individual control signals to the corresponding comfort functions, whereby each comfort function is controlled by an individually assigned one of the individual control signals.
Abstract:
An ion generating device (1) includes discharge electrodes (21⋅22) each having a plurality of electrically conductive members (25⋅26) which form respective tip surfaces (36⋅37). A longer dimension direction of the tip surfaces (36⋅37) is nonparallel to an air sending direction (A). This allows for efficient release of ions.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for cleaning contaminated air in an enclosed space, such as a transportation trailer or a shipping container. An air mover in the space circulates contaminated atmosphere from an area of low pressure to an area of higher pressure. The resulting pressure differential is used to draw a reverse, partial air flow through an air cleaning device. The repeated cycling of a portion of airflow results in cleaning of the atmosphere and a general reduction of the contaminant from the enclosed space.

An air conduction channel for an ionization device is provided, whereby at least some parts of the air conduction channel have a locally active field compensation component.
Abstract:
An air conditioning system with an electrostatically atomizing function includes an electrostatically atomizing unit and a ventilation duct which flows conditioned air. The electrostatically atomizing unit generates a mist of charged minute water particles. The electrostatically atomizing unit is provided with a discharge port which locates adjacent to an air outlet of the ventilation duct. The mist of the charged minute water particles flows into an airflow which is sent from the ventilation duct. The mist of the charged minute water particles effectively spreads to the space by the air flow without dissipating inside the ventilation duct.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an ionizer mounting structure for a vehicle air conditioning system. The air conditioning system includes an air conditioning case having an internal passageway and an ionizer for generating negative ions and positive ions within the internal passageway. The air conditioning case has a discharge electrode insertion hole and the ionizer has a plurality of discharge electrodes extending into the internal passageway through the discharge electrode insertion hole. The ionizer mounting structure includes a mounting and demounting structure for allowing the ionizer to be mounted to the air conditioning case through sliding movement from a demounting position on a passenger room side to a mounting position above the air conditioning case and for allowing the ionizer to be demounted from the air conditioning case through sliding movement from the mounting position to the demounting position.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vehicle air purifier with a negative/positive ion generator and an air conditioning system using the same. The vehicle air purifier includes a case including an air inlet and an air outlet, a filter arranged in the case at the side of the air inlet, a blower fan rotatably mounted in the case, and a negative/positive ion generator arranged in an air path of at least one of the air inlet and the air outlet, to emit negative ions and positive ions to air in accordance with emission of electrons. The negative/positive ion generator includes a body fixed to the case and provided with a high-voltage generator for generating high-voltage pulses, and a first discharge electrode and a second discharge electrode electrically connected to the high-voltage generator, to generate electrons by the high-voltage pulses applied from the high-voltage generator, and to emit the electrons to the air path of the at least one of the air inlet and air outlet, thereby causing negative ions and positive ions to be generated.
