Abstract:
A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a vehicle, may include external air cooling line configured to circulate first cooling water through a first radiator, a main valve and a high-voltage battery core, a cooling/heating line having a first end branching from the main valve and a second end connected to a downstream point of the high-voltage battery core, the cooling/heating line being configured to enable the high-voltage battery core to be heated or cooled by a heat exchanger or an electric heater, and a controller configured to selectively control at least one of the main value, the heat exchanger and the electric heater to cause the first cooling water to circulate through the external air cooling line or the cooling/heating line to perform heat transfer in the heat exchanger or the electric heater when cooling or heating of the high-voltage battery core is needed.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a moisture electrolysis apparatus for a headlamp including: a first electrode configured to be exposed in an inside space of a headlamp housing, and have a surface coated with a dielectric substance; a second electrode configured to be disposed to be spaced apart from the first electrode by a predetermined distance; and a discharge ventilation path configured to be formed between the surface of the first electrode coated with the dielectric substance and the second electrode.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a steering wheel having cooling system inside. A steering wheel includes a hub connected to a steering column, a rim provided with a hollow formed therein and spokes configured to connect the hub and the rim. Cooling units located at the hub or the spokes of the steering wheel is provided to supply cooling air. Heat pipes thermally connect the cooling units and the rim of the steering wheel.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may include a plurality of three-step tubes, each having a three-layered section and each having a liquid passage at a middle portion and module insertion spaces at opposite sides of the liquid passage, a plurality of thermoelectric modules inserted into the module insertion spaces, a plurality of cooling fins coupled to an outer surface of each of the three-step tubes, and an upper tank and a lower tank coupled to an upper side and a lower side of the three-step tubes to be fluidically communicated with the liquid passages of the three-step tubes. The three-step tubes and the cooling fins may be stacked laterally with respect to each other. The three-step tubes, the cooling fins, the upper tank, and the lower tank may be brazed by a same filler material comprising a metal.
Abstract:
A heating panel for a vehicle includes a plate-shaped heating layer and a heat insulation layer attached to the healing layer. The heating panel is spaced apart from an occupant in an interior space of the vehicle and positioned to face the occupant. The heat insulation layer is directed toward the panel in the interior space and the heating layer is directed toward the occupant.
Abstract:
An air-conditioning system for an automotive battery includes a heat exchanger composed of a heat-absorbing pipe and a heat-discharging pipe, which partially overlap with each other, and a thermoelectric element interposed in the overlapping portion. A battery housing accommodates a battery and in which an end of the heat-absorbing pipe of the heat exchanger is inserted.
Abstract:
Air conditioning system and method for a high-voltage battery of a vehicle includes a first heat exchanger provided in a battery housing, and a first blower for supplying air to the first heat exchanger. A second heat exchanger is provided in an air extractor of a trunk room, and a second blower supplies air to the second heat exchanger, thereby discharging air inside the trunk room to the outside after performing heat exchange. A peltier element is combined with the second heat exchanger such that a first surface thereof is in contact with the second heat exchanger. A cooling line arranged in such a way that a first end is in contact with a second surface of the peltier element, and a second end thereof exchanges heat between the second end and the first heat exchanger.
Abstract:
A storage assembly for a vehicle includes a housing having an outlet formed at a rear end thereof, a cooling and heating cup holder installed in the housing and having a thermoelectric element attached to a side end surface thereof, a convenience device disposed to be adjacent to a side of the thermoelectric element in the housing and including a storage tray or an electrical control switch, a heat exchange pin and a blower disposed at the outlet side of the rear end of the housing, and a heat pipe having one end connected to the thermoelectric element and the other end extended to turn aside or traverse the convenience device and connected to the heat exchange pin.
Abstract:
A cooling and heating cup holder includes: a pair of holder bodies; a pair of thermoelectric elements having first and second surfaces for heat absorption and heat generation, the first surfaces being installed on the holder bodies; a pair of heat exchange pins provided so as to exchange heat with the second surfaces of the respective thermoelectric elements; a blower disposed at one side of the heat exchange pins and heat-radiating the heat exchange pins; and an extension heat pipe thermally connecting the second surfaces of the respective thermoelectric elements to each other or thermally connecting the respective heat exchange pins to each other.
