  • Patent number: 4757944
    Abstract: A control apparatus of an air conditioner for automobiles comprises: means for calculating a room temperature difference signal; means for calculating a reference blowout temperature; means for correcting the reference blowout temperature, thereby calculating a target blowout temperature; and means for controlling the heat exchanger such that the difference between the target blowout temperature and the actual blowout temperature becomes zero. This control apparatus can always maintain and manage the blowout air temperature at which the passenger can feel most comfortable for various ambient temperature conditions.

  • Patent number: 4626720
    Abstract: Cooling air is introduced through an opening in a wall portion of the motor housing radially opposing the commutator. A deflecting surface is provided for deflecting the cooling air entering the motor through the opening away from the commutator and toward the armature so as to prevent direct contact of dust and moisture in the cooling air with the commutator.

  • Patent number: 4513808
    Abstract: An automobile air conditioner of a reheat air mix type, having an evaporator disposed in a duct and a heater core disposed in the duct at the downstream side of the evaporator. Chilled air passages are formed between both sides of the heater core and the surfaces of opposing walls of the duct. The chilled air passages are extended to form a first duct leading to an upper air outlet to the room of automobile and a second duct leading to a lower air outlet opening to the room. A part of the warmed air coming from the heater core is delivered to the first duct while the other part is delivered to the second duct.

  • Patent number: 4149390
    Abstract: An evaporator including a side plate formed with a number of openings each having rigidly secured therein the upper end portion of one of a number of U-shaped refrigerant tubes, a cover plate attached to the upper surface of the side plate and formed, by recessing its inner surface, with a plurality of bend sections each intercommunicating the upper end portions of the two tubes of the adjacent U-shaped refrigerant tubes forming a set, a distributor section for supplying a suitable refrigerant to refrigerant passages provided by the U-shaped tubes and the bend sections, a manifold section for collecting the refrigerant from the refrigerant passages and discharging same therefrom, and an expansion valve section extending between the distributor section and the manifold section in a manner to intercommunicate the two sections, and an expansion valve assembly mounted in the expansion valve section.

  • Patent number: 4114397
    Abstract: An evaporator comprising a tube plate having a number of through holes to which the upper ends of a plurality of U-tubes are fixed, a first cover plate secured to the tube plate and having a plurality of through holes aligned to some through holes of the tube plate, a second cover plate secured to the first cover plate and defining in cooperation therewith passages for introducing and distributing refrigerant, and an expansion valve assembly installed through the first and second cover plates and having a constriction formed therein. The first cover plate defines connecting passages and a collecting passage for the refrigerant in cooperation with the tube plate.

  • Patent number: 4037651
    Abstract: A temperature control apparatus of an air conditioner for automobiles, which comprises a blower for feeding air through a cooling unit and a heating unit disposed in an air passage, an air mix door for controlling the amount of air passing through the heating unit, an actuator for actuating said door, a negative pressure source for applying a negative pressure to said actuator through a controller, a sensor emitting a negative pressure signal in response to the temperature in a cab of an automobile and a regulator emitting a negative pressure signal in response to the change of the position of said door, wherein the output negative pressure signal of the temperature sensor is compared with the output negative pressure signal of the regulator by said controller and a negative pressure is applied to the actuator according to a deviation between said two output signals to control the degree of opening of said air mix door so as to maintain the temperature in the cab at a substantially constant level.
