  • Patent number: 12337676
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an air guide control system with a flap arrangement including flaps which can be rotatably inserted into a joining partner. An actuator drives a damper and a coupling rod transmits the torque of this driven damper to the remaining dampers of the damper arrangement. In the event of a flap fracture of at least one flap, a spring, locks the flap arrangement against further movement, so that error information is reported to the actuator via the coupling rod.

  • Patent number: 12123501
    Abstract: A device for controlling a flow and distributing a fluid, in particular a refrigerant, in a fluid circuit. The device exhibits a housing with connections for connection to fluid lines that are connected to one internal volume of the housing via a pass-through opening, and one valve element that is arranged in the internal volume of the housing and exhibits a drive element for moving the valve element relative to the housing. The valve element exhibits one pass-through opening and is mounted in such a way that it can be moved linearly in the axial direction along a longitudinal axis such that a passage for the fluid is opened between a first connection produced as an inlet and a second connection produced as a primary outlet or a third connection produced as a secondary outlet.
