Patent number: 11339798Abstract: A blower assembly including a scroll having a first airflow deflector nose and a second airflow deflector nose, which are offset relative to each other about a circumference of the scroll. A rotor is housed within the scroll. The first airflow deflector nose is configured to deflect airflow generated by the rotor out of the scroll to a first outlet of the blower assembly. The second airflow deflector nose is configured to deflect airflow generated by the rotor out of the scroll to a second outlet of the blower assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: DENSO International America, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Bielicki, Raymond Bailey, Brian Belanger, Jason Wagnitz, Simon Hotte

Publication number: 20220134846Abstract: An (HVAC) system having an HVAC case. An airflow control member is mounted within the HVAC case. A first magnet is at or adjacent to the axis of rotation and movable along with the airflow control member. The first magnet generates a first magnetic field. A second magnet is spaced apart from the first magnet. The second magnet generates a second magnetic field having a polarity that is opposite to the first magnetic field. Magnetic cooperation between the first magnet and the second magnet provides a magnetic linkage for rotating the airflow control member within the HVAC case.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2021Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Misael OSTRIA, Jason WAGNITZ

Patent number: 11021043Abstract: The present disclosure includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) door diagnostic system. The system has a rotatable hard stop lever that contacts, and restricts movement of, both a first airflow control door and a second airflow control door beyond a stop position when both the first airflow control door and the second airflow control door are present and moving in sync. When one of the first and second airflow control doors is not present or the first and second airflow control doors are not in sync, only one of the first and second airflow control doors will: contact the hard stop lever at the stop position, rotate the hard stop lever, and move beyond the stop position. The HVAC door diagnostic system generates a failure notice when the first airflow control door or the second airflow control door moves beyond the stop position.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: DENSO International America, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Wisniewski, Jason Wagnitz

Patent number: 10981432Abstract: An HVAC case having an airflow junction. A mount is at the airflow junction and is configured to individually mount a door and an airflow blocker at the airflow junction. The door is mounted at the mount of the airflow junction to configure the HVAC case for use with HVAC systems configured for airflow through the airflow junction. The airflow blocker is mounted at the mount of the airflow junction to configure the HVAC case for use with HVAC systems not configured for airflow through the airflow junction.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: DENSO International America, Inc.Inventors: Jason Wagnitz, Michael Polus
