Abstract: Cooling systems employing adjacent fan cages having cage walls with interflow passages are disclosed. A cooling system includes cooling fans disposed in adjacent fan cages. Cage walls of the fan cages direct flows from the fans to the outlet ports of the fan cages which are in fluid communication with electrical components within an electronics-containing enclosure. By forming an interflow passage between the adjacent fan cages, upon occurrence of an inoperable fan, a portion of the flow from an adjacent operable fan can pass to the outlet port of the fan cage of the inoperable fan via the passage and provide better cooling of the components impacted by the inoperable fan. In this manner, thermal damage is avoided while minimizing fan noise associated with higher fan speeds.

The outflow valve also includes a second door rotatably coupled to the frame. The first door and the second door are substantially simultaneously movable between at least a first position and a second position.

Abstract: Devices and methods for enhancing heat exchanger airflow in a transport refrigeration system (TRS) of a refrigerated transport unit are provided. In particular, a fairing is provided on a top surface of a TRU to shield the TRU from an adverse effect of wind (e.g., ram air) and build a negative pressure at a heat exchanger fan delivery side of the TRU. The angle, shape and height of the fairing can be optimized to achieve a desired heat exchanger airflow through condenser coil(s), a radiator and/or intercooler of the TRU during operation.

Abstract: A sliding door has a door main body and door support sections supported by contact with an inner wall of a guide groove. The guide groove has a groove lacking section having a size that the door main body can be inserted therefrom. When a first one of the door support sections that is the closest to a tip end of the sliding door is located within the groove lacking section, another one of the door support sections that is located opposite from the tip end of the sliding door through the groove lacking section satisfies a relational expression of A?90?0.2L, in which A represents a distance from the tip end to an end of the another one of the door support sections on a separated side away from the tip end, and L represents a door width of the door main body.

Abstract: An air distribution system for the distribution of air to a rear portion of a vehicle includes a housing extending between a first and second end. The housing defines a plurality of first direct air outlets disposed adjacent the first end, a plurality of second direct air outlets disposed adjacent the second end, and a plurality of indirect air outlets disposed between the first and second direct air outlets. An airflow control assembly is configured to interchange airflow of the air distribution system between a first mode in which airflow is open through the direct air outlets but blocked from the indirect air outlets for guiding air directly to occupants situated in the rear portion of the vehicle and a second mode in which airflow is restricted through the direct air outlets and open through the indirect air outlets to create a bloom of air over the rear vehicle occupants.

Abstract: A cabinet system having a protective shroud and an external frame with a linear track. The protective shroud provides a protected inner space shielded from moisture and airborne contaminants. The cabinet system also includes a mounting assembly having a mounting arm that can be affixed to a support structure and also having a mounting foot slidably engaged to the at least one track. The mounting foot can be fixed at positions along the linear track allowing the cabinet to be mounted at different position relative to the support structure.

Abstract: A device for guiding air for an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle. The air conditioning system includes air outlets. The device is designed so that it encloses a volume and within the volume at least one air channel extending continuously from an inlet to an outlet is formed. The device is arranged in such a way that can be shifted in a continuously variable manner in a direction between two end positions, wherein the device in the end positions in each case closes an air outlet. The device may be arranged in an air conditioning system for a motor vehicle with means for conveying, for cooling and for heating an air mass flow, including a housing with a mixing chamber, in which the device for guiding air is arranged.

Abstract: A connection duct has (i) a duct body that is made of a material having great flexibility, the duct body in which the conditioned air flows and (ii) core members that are made of a material having higher rigidity than the duct body and are arranged, in the duct body, along a flow direction of air, the core members that maintain a cross-sectional shape of the duct body at a specified cross-sectional shape. The core members respectively have (i) an outer plate that is located on an outer peripheral side in the curved portion, (ii) an inner plate that is located on an inner peripheral side in the curved portion, and (iii) a connection plate that connects the outer plate with the inner plate. A length of the outer plate in the flow direction is longer than a length of the inner plate in the flow direction.

Both ends of the groove portion are located outside of both ends of the connector in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: An arc resistant air vent for a switch gear cabinet comprises a plenum stacked with spaced corrugated plates, the plates being perforated by slots at the corrugation turning points. Air and water can enter through a front grille of the vent. Air is allowed to pass through to the cabinet while water entering the vent is returned through the perforations to a bottom wall of the plenum which drains at the grille. The plates are held in frangible connections to the side walls of the plenum and the slots produce an accordion hinge to allow a release and a folding of the plates together under the pressure of an arc blast in the switchgear cabinet to seal the grille.
