  • Publication number: 20230286352
    Abstract: An air handling system of a vehicle comprises a housing defining an inlet section. The inlet section includes a first inlet portion and a second inlet portion. The first inlet portion includes a first recirculation inlet configured to receive recirculated air originating from a passenger compartment of the vehicle and a first ambient air inlet configured to receive ambient air originating from an ambient environment. The second inlet portion includes a second recirculation inlet configured to receive recirculated air originating from the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a second ambient air inlet configured to receive the ambient air originating from the ambient environment. A first air distribution door and a first baffle door are disposed in the inlet section to selectively control a distribution of the recirculated air and the ambient air entering the first inlet portion.

  • Patent number: 6896478
    Abstract: A dual fan blower module of the present invention includes a housing defining a central motor compartment and first and second scroll chambers. The scroll chambers are axially aligned with and located on opposite sides of the motor compartment. A motor is mounted within the motor compartment and has first and second shaft ends extending axially therefrom. The first shaft end extends into the first scroll chamber and the second shaft end extends into the second scroll chamber. A first fan is mounted onto the first shaft end within the first scroll chamber for rotational movement within the first scroll chamber and a second fan is mounted onto the second shaft end within the second scroll chamber for rotational movement within the second scroll chamber. Each of the first and second scroll chambers includes an expansion channel extending axially inward toward the motor.
