Abstract: A climate control system that includes a sensor configured to collect sensor signals from an interior of an enclosure and a climate control module configured to determine, based on the sensor signals, whether an air quality parameter is above or below an air quality threshold. When the air quality parameter is below the air quality threshold, the climate control system is configured to draw air from an exterior of the enclosure through a first filter and into the interior of the enclosure and draw the air from the interior of the enclosure through a second filter and return the air to the interior of the enclosure.

Abstract: An integrated energy management unit includes a housing defining a housing cavity, an accumulator-separator positioned within the housing cavity, an ejector positioned within the housing cavity and in communication with the accumulator-separator, and an internal heat exchanger positioned within the housing cavity and in fluid communication with the accumulator-separator.

Abstract: A climate control system includes a front-end or first heat exchanger configured to thermally condition airflow from an environment external to a cabin, a rear-end or second heat exchanger configured to thermally condition airflow from the cabin, a recirculation path configured to return airflow from the second heat exchanger to the cabin, and an extraction path configured to vent airflow from the second heat exchanger to the environment external to the cabin. Various operational modes of the climate control system direct airflow to either the recirculation path or the extraction path.

Abstract: A system includes a heat-generating component, a heat-absorbing component, a liquid coolant reservoir for receiving and distributing a liquid coolant, a first liquid loop, and a second liquid loop. The first liquid loop is connected to the liquid coolant reservoir and includes a first valve to control recirculation or return of the liquid coolant to the liquid coolant reservoir. The second liquid loop is connected to the liquid coolant reservoir and includes a second valve downstream from the second functional component to control recirculation or return of the liquid coolant to the liquid coolant reservoir.

Abstract: A ventilation system can include structural beam defining an interior beam volume, a window adjacent the structural beam, an interior cabin defined by the structural beam and the window, and an environmental conditioning system. The environmental conditioning system can include a switch operable between a first position and a second position, an indirect configuration with the switch operating in the first position and a direct configuration with the switch operating in the second position. The indirect configuration can direct the air from the interior beam volume onto the window and the direct configuration can direct the air from the interior beam volume toward the user.

Abstract: A thermal control system includes a housing defining an intake flow path for travel of intake airflow and an exhaust flow path for travel of exhaust airflow. An intake door is disposed along the intake flow path and has first and second positions blocking and allowing intake airflow through the intake door. An exhaust door is disposed along the exhaust flow path and has first and second positions blocking and allowing exhaust airflow through the exhaust door. A mode door is disposed in the housing between the intake flow path and the exhaust flow path with a first position blocking the intake airflow and allowing the exhaust airflow to pass through a heat exchanger, a second position blocking the exhaust airflow and allowing the intake airflow to pass through the heat exchanger, and a third position allowing the intake airflow and the exhaust airflow to pass through the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A thermal control system for use in an electric vehicle includes a reservoir in fluid communication with a first loop having a first loop component and a second loop having a second loop component. First and second pumps are operable to circulate a liquid coolant to the first loop and the second loop, respectively. A first valve, a second valve, and a third valve are moved between alternate liquid coolant flow positions by a vehicle control unit to selectively change the first and second loops from a parallel orientation to a series orientation providing alternate methods to reclaim or exhaust excess heat generated by the first loop component or to provide redundancy in order to maintain operation of the first loop and the second loop in the event of a failure of the first pump or the second pump.
