Patent number: 11654742Abstract: An air-handling system includes an evaporator core and a downstream arranged heater core disposed in an air-handling casing. A primary flow path is formed within the air-handling casing and leads to a primary zone of a passenger compartment. The primary flow path is divided into a primary cool air pathway bypassing the heater core and a primary warm air pathway passing through the heater core. A secondary flow path is formed within the air-handling casing and leads to a secondary zone of the passenger compartment. The secondary flow path includes a secondary cool air pathway branching from the primary flow path downstream of the evaporator core and a secondary warm air pathway branching from the primary flow path downstream of the heater core. The secondary cool air pathway bypasses the heater core and the secondary warm air pathway passes through the heater core.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Wayne Schnaidt, Jayanthi R. Iyer, Eric Haupt, Dennis Vermette

Patent number: 11505032Abstract: An air handling system of a vehicle includes a main housing interchangeable between a first configuration and a second configuration. The main housing has a primary portion configured to convey a cold air flow and a warm air flow therethrough. A secondary portion is interchangeable between a first plenum in the first configuration of the main housing and a second plenum in the second configuration of the main housing.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Wayne Schnaidt, Jayanthi R. Iyer, Dennis Vermette

Patent number: 11390142Abstract: An air handling system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system of a motor vehicle includes a conduit configured to convey air from the air handling system to a vent of the air handling system. A control door is rotatably disposed in the conduit. The control door selectively rotates between a first position and a second position. The first position blocks passage of the air flowing through the conduit. The second position blocks passage of the air flowing through a first portion of the conduit and allows the air to flow through a second portion of the conduit. A control feature is disposed in the second portion of the conduit to control at least one of a volumetric flow rate and a pressure of the air flowing through the second portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Eric Haupt, Jayanthi R. Iyer

Patent number: 10688970Abstract: An air-handling system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system of a vehicle includes a main housing comprising a conditioning section, a mixing section, and a delivery section having a flow of air passing therethrough. The delivery section includes a conduit branching into a windshield defrost pathway and a demist pathway, the windshield defrost pathway leading to windshield defrost vents of a passenger compartment of the vehicle and the demist pathway leading to side window defrost vents of the passenger compartment. A control door rotatably disposed in the conduit is adjustable through a range of rotational positions wherein a flow area through the windshield defrost pathway is variably restricted while the demist pathway remains unobstructed. The control door is further adjustable to a position wherein the windshield defrost pathway and the demist pathway are closed.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Jayanthi R. Iyer, Eric Haupt, Dennis Vermette, Jim Nolta, Shankar Patil, Mark Douglas Conley

Patent number: 10384510Abstract: An air handling system for a vehicle comprises a conditioning section for controlling a temperature of a flow of air, a mixing section disposed downstream of the conditioning section with respect to a direction of the flow of the air, and a delivery section disposed downstream of the mixing section with respect to the direction of the flow of the air. The delivery section includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber. A dividing plate separates each of the second chamber and the third chamber into a first side portion to a first side of the dividing plate and a second side portion to an opposing second side of the dividing plate. The second side portion of the third chamber is configured to primarily direct the flow of the air towards a rear seat area of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Jayanthi R.
