Publication number: 20230417426Abstract: An air conditioning system is provided with an integrated heat exchanger. The air conditioning system generates heating air or cooling air through the integrated heat exchanger that adjusts the temperature of conditioning air by circulating coolant, thus securing cooling and heating efficiency. The air conditioning system adjusts temperature by the coolant circulated in the integrated heat exchanger such that a temperature adjustment door for adjusting the temperature of the conditioning air is eliminated, the number of components is decreased, and the size of an overall package is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicants: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY, KIA CORPORATION, Hanon SystemsInventors: Kwang Ok Han, Gee Young Shin, Su Yeon Kang, Dong Ho Kwon, Myung Hoe Kim, Dae Hee Lee, In Jae Kang, Tae Young Park, Jae Chun Ryu

Publication number: 20230415538Abstract: Proposed are an air conditioner having an integrated heat exchanger and an air conditioning system using the integrated heat exchanger. The integrated heat exchanger enables heat exchange between cooling water and conditioning-air, and generates heating air or cooling air such that cooling/heating efficiency is improved. Further, since the temperature of the cooling water circulating in the integrated heat exchanger is adjusted, there is no temperature adjustment door for adjusting the temperature of conditioning-air, so the number of parts is reduced. Further, since the integrated heat exchanger is applied, components are optimally arranged and the entire package is reduced in size.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicants: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY, KIA CORPORATION, Hanon SystemsInventors: Kwang Ok Han, Gee Young Shin, Su Yeon Kang, Dong Ho Kwon, Myung Hoe Kim, Dae Hee Lee, In Jae Kang, Tae Young Park, Jae Chun Ryu
