  • Publication number: 20120118988
    Abstract: The present invention provides a heating system for a fuel cell vehicle, in which an additional heating source is used together with an electric heater to lower power consumption and increase fuel efficiency of prior systems. For this purpose the present invention provides a heating system for a fuel cell vehicle, the heating system including: an electric heater for heating air blown by a blower fan and supplied to the interior of the vehicle; and a heater core provided in a coolant line, through which coolant for cooling a fuel cell stack is circulated, and is used for heating the air, blown by the blower fan and supplied to the interior of the vehicle, by heat transfer between the coolant and the air, wherein the heater core is provided at the downstream side of the fuel cell stack in a coolant circulation path such that the air is heated by waste heat of the coolant discharged from the fuel cell stack.

  • Patent number: 8056782
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cross bar of a roof carrier for vehicles, provided between side bars of a roof so as to load cargo, and having no wire, thus reducing a manufacturing cost. The cross bar includes first and second brackets provided on opposite ends of a cross-bar body. A first locking pin is provided on one end of the cross-bar body in such a way as to be retracted into and ejected from the first bracket. A second locking pin is connected to the other end of the cross-bar body via a power transmission unit, and moves in a direction opposite the moving direction of the cross-bar body to be retracted into and ejected out from the second bracket. A lever is provided on the first bracket. A body elastic part is provided between the cross-bar body and the second bracket, and provides restoring force to the cross-bar body.
