摘要： A coolant circulation circuit of an internal combustion engine includes a heat accumulation tank having a heat insulating structure and a heater core for heating air for heating a compartment in the vehicle. High temperature coolant is reserved in the heat accumulation tank even when the engine is stopped. An intake air heat exchanger is disposed in the circuit on the downstream side of the heater core, and high temperature coolant can effectively heat the intake air. An engine lubricating oil heat exchanger and a transmission operating oil heat exchanger are arranged in the circuit on the downstream side of the intake air heat exchanger. Intake air, engine lubricating oil and transmission operating oils are suitably heated during warm-up of the engine to thereby improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust gas pollution.

摘要： According to the present invention, an oil storage chamber for temporarily accumulating a high-viscosity oil is formed below a heat-generating chamber for accumulating high-viscosity oil which generates heat when a shearing force is applied thereto. When an electromagnetic coil of an electromagnetic clutch is set off, i.e., a rotation of a rotor of a viscous heater is stopped, the high-viscosity oil in the heat-generating chamber moves into the oil storage chamber by own weight thereof, and a liquid level of the high-viscosity oil in the heat-generating chamber is greatly reduced. In this way, when the electromagnetic coil of the electromagnetic clutch is turned on to start the rotor of the viscous heater, a torque applied to the rotor is greatly reduced, with the result that a stress applied to the rotor is reduced.

摘要： To be able to control minute flow in a heat exchanger flow control valve without requiring a minute opening portion, an opening surface area of a hot-water inlet pipe into which hot water flows from an engine is restricted by a first restricting portion of a control passage provided in a needle valve of a flow control valve, and along with this, an opening surface area of a hot-water outlet pipe connected to an inlet side of a heat exchanger for heater use is restricted by a second restricting portion of a control passage formed in the needle valve, and a middle portion of these two control passages is constantly connected to a bypass circuit by a third restricting portion. Pressure of the middle portion thereof can thereby be lowered, pressure applied to the heat exchanger can be adequately reduced, and for this reason minute flow through the valve can be controlled even without establishing a minute opening portion using the needle valves Also, change in heat-exchanger hot-water flow can be reduced by structuring the first and second restricting portions in a configuration whereby flow constant is reduced as amount of flow increases and, along with this, structuring the third restricting portion in a configuration whereby flow constant is maintained substantially uniformly even if amount of flow increases.

摘要： An air conditioning apparatus for a seat of a vehicle includes a seat air-blowing unit disposed in a lower portion of the seat, and a seat duct for blowing air from an air conditioning unit to the seat air-blowing unit. The air conditioning unit includes a case for forming therein a cool air passage and a warm air passage, and a switching door for opening and closing the cool air passage and the warm air passage. When a stationary state is set from a cool-down state during cooling mode, the switching door closes the cool air passage to fully open the warm air passage. Thus, inside air is introduced into the warm air passage from a foot air outlet of the air conditioning unit, is supplied to the seat air-blowing unit through the seat duct, and is blown from a seat surface of the seat toward a passenger seated on the seat. As a result, in the air conditioning apparatus, cool air and inside air can be readily switched with a simple structure.

摘要： An air conditioning apparatus includes a heating heat exchanger for heating air blown toward a passenger compartment using hot water as a heating source. A plurality of electric heating members are formed integrally with the heating heat exchanger, and electric power supplied to the electric heating members is controlled according a temperature of the hot water. Therefore, a number of the electric heating members to be operated is finely controlled according to the temperature of water flowing through the heating heat exchanger. Further, when a water temperature of the heating heat exchanger is lower than a predetermined temperature (e.g., 35.degree. C.), a water valve is closed to interrupt the flow of water to the heating heat exchanger, and a blower is operated. Therefore, a quantity of heat transmitted from the electric heating members to the water in the heating heat exchanger can be greatly decreased.

摘要： An air conditioning apparatus for a vehicle includes a heat exchanger for heating air to be blown into a passenger compartment of the vehicle using hot water as a heating source, a plurality of electric heating members formed integrally with the heat exchanger, and a control unit for controlling electric power supplying to the electric heating members and an amount of air blown from a blower. The control unit controls the amount of air blown from the blower based on a heat-radiating amount from the electric heating members and a target temperature of air blown into the passenger compartment. Thus, even when number of the electric heating members to be turned on is changed, the temperature of air blown into the passenger compartment can be set to the target temperature by controlling the amount of air blown from the blower. As a result, the passenger compartment can be effectively quickly heated using the electric heating members.

摘要： According to the present invention, when an air-conditioning clutch of a compressor is set on, even if an improvement of a heating capacity by a viscous heater is required, a viscous clutch is turned off not to transmit a rotational driving force of an engine to a rotor of the viscous heater, and further the rotational driving force of the engine is transmitted to the compressor. In this way, a torque applied to the engine E and the V-belt can be reduced, so that a fuel consumption ratio of the engine lowers and a fuel economical performance improves. Further, because an operation of the compressor is intermitted, it is possible to remove a fog of a front windshield, so that a safety of the vehicle travelling can be prevented from being deteriorated.

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.
