  • Publication number: 20180298914
    Abstract: A blower includes a fan that rotates about an axis center in an air conditioning case, and a casing that guides air blown from the fan. The casing has a peripheral wall that is located radially outward of the fan with the axis center as a center. The peripheral wall has first and second scroll inner wall surfaces that guide different kinds of air blown from the fan to different outlets. No half-lines starting from the axis center passes through both of the first and second scroll inner wall surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20180105013
    Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioning apparatus includes a casing that defines an air passage through which an air flows, and a blower that has a blower fan generating an airflow in the air passage. The vehicle air-conditioning apparatus includes an air-conditioning device that is provided in the air passage, and an air introduction member that introduces an air from a vehicle compartment. The vehicle air-conditioning apparatus further includes an aspirator that is located outside the casing and takes in the air flowing through the air passage as a first air, the aspirator drawing the air from the vehicle compartment as a second air through the air introduction member by using a flow of the first air. A cooling target mounted in the vehicle is cooled by a flow of the air drawn from the vehicle compartment by the aspirator through the air introduction member.

  • Publication number: 20180099542
    Abstract: A cooling device is applied to an in-vehicle equipment having a cooling unit which cools air, and cools an in-vehicle heat-emitting apparatus with the air cooled by the cooling unit. The cooling device includes: an adsorption unit including an adsorption material which adsorbs moisture; an adsorption case that defines a housing space in which the adsorption unit is disposed, the air cooled by the cooling unit passing through the adsorption case, the adsorption material adsorbing moisture from the air; and a cooling air outlet part that guides a dehumidification air, from which the moisture is adsorbed within the adsorption case, to a target space to be cooled where the heat-emitting apparatus is arranged.

  • Publication number: 20180029448
    Abstract: A humidification device includes: an adsorber having an adsorbent that adsorbs and desorbs moisture; an adsorption case that forms an accommodating space to accommodate the adsorber; a first introduction portion that introduces cooled air produced by a cooling portion into the adsorption case; a second introduction portion that introduces heated air produced by the heating portion into the adsorption case; and a humidification-side guiding portion that guides humidification air humidified by the moisture desorbed within the adsorption case, to the vehicle interior. The first introduction portion is connected to one of an upper surface portion and a side surface portion of the air-conditioning case, on an air-flow downstream side of the cooling portion in the air-conditioning case.

  • Publication number: 20160221414
    Abstract: An air conditioning unit has an air conditioning case, a blower, and a heat exchanger. The air conditioning case is arranged in a vehicle compartment on a rear side with respect to an instrument panel in a traveling direction of a vehicle and forms an air passage delivering air toward a specified area of the vehicle compartment. The blower has at least first and second impellers and a fan case housing the first and second impellers, and ventilates the air in the air conditioning case by drawing and blowing air, by using a rotation of the first and second impellers, through first and second suction ports formed in the fan case. The heat exchanger is arranged in the air conditioning case on an upstream side of the blower in an airflow direction and exchanges heat of the air. The blower draws air from the heat exchanger and blows the air to the specified area of the vehicle compartment.
