Patent number: 11241935Abstract: An air-conditioning system comprises a channel system, a system conveying device positioned in the channel system and configured to convey air in the channel system, a sensor device comprising at least one analysis channel and configured to measure a characteristic of air flowing through the at least one analysis channel, and a suction jet pump comprising a motive-fluid inlet, a suction inlet, and a pump outlet. The system conveying device separates a suction area of the channel system arranged upstream of the system conveying device from a pressure area of the channel system arranged downstream from the system conveying device, and the sensor device further comprises a sensor outlet configured to release air from the sensor device. The motive-fluid inlet is fluidically connected to the pressure area via a suction jet branch-off point within the channel system, and the suction inlet is fluidically connected to the sensor outlet.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2018Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Inventors: Daniel Eberle, Rainer Knoeller, Markus Michael, Anja Reiter, Oliver Schultze, Isabelle Seitz, Joachim Treier, Walter Wolf

Patent number: 10946718Abstract: An air-conditioning unit of a vehicle for air-conditioning a vehicle interior may include a unit outlet for discharging air into the vehicle interior, an outside-air duct for an intake of outside air, and an air recirculation duct for recirculation of inside air from the vehicle interior. The air-conditioning unit may also include an outside-air shut-off element arranged in the outside-air duct, which in a closed position blocks a flow of outside air through the outside-air duct, and a recirculated-air shut-off element arranged in the air recirculation duct, which in a closed position blocks a flow of inside air through the air recirculation duct. The air-conditioning unit may further include a sensor device for detecting a property of air. On at least one duct of the outside-air duct and the recirculation duct, a bypass may be arranged which bypasses an associated shut-off element and is fluidically connected to the sensor device.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Inventors: Daniel Eberle, Rainer Knoeller, Markus Michael, Anja Reiter, Oliver Schultze, Joachim Treier, Walter Wolf
