Patent number: 11987094Abstract: A method for servicing a heater core installed in a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) assembly for a motor vehicle includes removing a sealing attachment from an interfacing connection interfacing with the heater core. The method includes sliding the heater core in a direction of insertion. The method includes disconnecting, from the heater core, the interfacing connection. The method includes removing the heater core in a direction of extraction, the direction of extraction being orthogonal to the direction of insertion.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Valeo North America, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Rademacher, Jason Kreucher, Heather Hartman

Publication number: 20230408138Abstract: A HVAC unit includes a housing, at least one flap and an actuator corresponding to the flap. The housing includes a first and a second portion and defining an enclosure “E”. The flap is received inside the housing with a first extreme end thereof engaging with the first portion and a second extreme end thereof engaging with the second portion of the housing via an intermediate lever. The actuator disposed outside the enclosure “E” is connected to and drives the flap via the intermediate lever. The intermediate lever includes a stopper radially extending from at least a portion of a periphery thereof. The stopper is disposed between the second portion of the housing and the flap to limit axial movement of the intermediate lever.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: VALEO CLIMATE CONTROL CORP.Inventors: Jason Kreucher, Gregory Rademacher, Heather Hartman

Patent number: 11746791Abstract: A method for servicing a blower motor installed in a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) assembly for a motor vehicle may include rotating a scroll housing subassembly of the HVAC assembly from an installed position to an extraction position. The method may include detaching a first securing element, the first securing element being distributed on the scroll housing subassembly and an evaporator housing subassembly of the HVAC assembly. The method may include removing the scroll housing subassembly from the HVAC assembly in a direction of extraction. The method may include that the scroll housing subassembly reaches the extraction position by axial rotation in a direction orthogonal to the direction of extraction. The method may include that the extraction position is a position at which the scroll housing subassembly is cleared for moving in the direction of extraction.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Valeo North America, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Rademacher, Jason Kreucher, Richard Sikorski
