  • Publication number: 20250178399
    Abstract: An assembly for air movement within a vehicle. The assembly includes a housing, a fan proximate to the air inlet, an evaporator disposed such that air leaving the fan flows through the evaporator, and a heater, a mixing chamber that is downstream of the evaporator and the heater, the housing establishes a plurality of internal air flow plenums downstream of the evaporator, including first air flow plenum that extends through and past the heater and into the mixing chamber, and a second air flow plenum that bypasses the heater and flows into the mixing chamber. A mixing chamber receives air from the first and second air flow plenums. A plurality of distribution plenums extend from the mixing chamber, each includes a flow valve proximate to an exit, wherein the flow valves are configured to allow or substantially prevent air flow to exit the respective distribution plenum.

  • Publication number: 20240208812
    Abstract: A method for separating hydrogen from a hydrogen-containing hydrocarbon stream, including introducing a hydrogen-containing hydrocarbon stream into a membrane separation unit, thereby producing a hydrogen-lean hydrocarbon retentate stream and hydrogen-rich permeate stream. Wherein the hydrogen-containing hydrocarbon stream has greater than 50 mol % hydrogen. And wherein the hydrogen-lean hydrocarbon retentate stream has more than 5 mol % hydrogen and less than 20 mol % hydrogen.

  • Publication number: 20220047755
    Abstract: A method for operating a fragrancing device, wherein a blower device is provided which sucks air through an air inlet opening into the first air duct and conveys it to an air outlet opening. At second air duct is provided, which branches off from the first air duct at a first duct branch and rejoins the first air duct at a second duct branch. A first fragrance container is provided in the second air duct between the first duct branch and the second duct branch, which can be flowed through by the air flow in the second air duct. A first valve device is provided upstream and/or downstream and controls the flow through the first fragrance container. The blower is controlled in such a manner that a defined, substantially constant, air flow is generated as a sum through the first air duct and the second air duct.
