Patent number: 12558943Abstract: An air conditioning system having: a housing with a second fluid inlet, a second fluid outlet, and a second fluid circuit provided therebetween; a heat exchanger for the first fluid, at least partially encapsulated within the housing; a blower housing with a blower motor configured to accelerate the second fluid circulation through the second fluid circuit. The blower housing is at least partially encapsulated within the housing so that the blower motor is located at the lower level than the heat exchanger. The housing includes a filtering compartment located in the vicinity of the second fluid inlet. The filtering compartment further includes a filtering component, a filter fluid evacuation circuit for condensation fluid that condenses on the surface of the filtering component, and a second opening configured to evacuate the filter fluid from the housing. The second opening is fluidly connected to the filtering compartment.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: February 24, 2026Assignee: Valeo Klimasystems GmbHInventors: Stefan Gaertner, Bodo Gesell

Publication number: 20240326555Abstract: The present invention relates to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning system for a motor vehicle. The system includes a fresh air inlet, a movably mounted flap, and a water drainage channel. The movably mounted flap is assigned to the fresh air inlet and blocks an air flow through the fresh air inlet in a closed position and allows an air flow through the fresh air inlet in an open position. The water drainage channel at least partially extends on an outer side of the heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning system along a lower edge of the fresh air inlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2022Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: VALEO KLIMASYSTEME GMBHInventors: Stefan Gaertner, Julian Ponsel, Bodo Gesell, Alexander Bauer

Patent number: 10059171Abstract: A blower assembly for a vehicle air conditioning unit includes a first air flow duct having a first blower and a second air flow duct having a second blower. A fresh-air inlet opening is arranged in the first air flow duct and a recirculated-air inlet opening is arranged in the second air flow duct. A distribution chamber is downstream of the first and second air flow ducts and an air cooling unit and a bypass duct bypassing the air cooling unit are downstream of the distribution chamber. A bypass flap is in the distribution chamber for directing at least a part of the air flow in the first air flow duct to the air cooling unit and/or to the bypass duct with substantially all of the air flow in the first air flow duct directed into the bypass duct in one position of the bypass flap.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Valeo Klimasysteme GmbHInventor: Bodo Gesell
