  • Patent number: 10836235
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a vehicle includes: an indoor air conditioning circuit which produces to supply cooling air to a vehicle interior by heat-exchanging inflow air through an indoor air inlet or an outdoor air inlet with an evaporator, and which produces to supply warm air to the vehicle interior or to discharge to the outside of the vehicle interior by heat-exchanging inflow air with a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is connected with an engine cooling circuit so that engine coolant is used as a heat source of the heat exchanger, thereby improving the cooling performance of the ERG cooler.

  • Patent number: 10118519
    Abstract: A cooling structure of a seat and an electronic module is provided. The cooling structure includes a cooling fan module that is mounted at a lower portion of the seat and generates air flow. An electronic module operating as a heating element is disposed at a lower portion of the cooling fan module. A flow path control valve is disposed at an upper portion of the cooling fan module to selectively convert a flow direction of air flowing in towards an upper end of the cooling fan module. The electronic module is thus continuously cooled and the seat is selectively cooled while the cooling fan module operates.

  • Patent number: 8893835
    Abstract: An engine room layout using a wind flux concentration guiding device, may include an intake system having an air intake, a turbocharger, and an intercooler, and may be disposed in an engine room, a cooling module having a condenser and a radiator, a main duct that introduces wind passing through a front end part forming the front of the engine room and discharges the wind to the air intake and the intercooler, a sub-duct that introduces the wind passing through the front end part from different positions and discharges the wind to the intercooler, and a diverging duct that may be connected to a wind channel of the main duct to diverge some of the wind introduced into the main duct before the wind passes out of the main duct, and send the wind to the air intake.
