Abstract: A vehicle heating apparatus is a heating apparatus to be mounted on or built in a vehicle seat at a position below a sitting portion of the vehicle seat. The vehicle heating apparatus includes: a housing having an intake port, a blowing port, and an internal space serving as a flow path of air from the intake port to the blowing port; a fan provided in the internal space of the housing; and a heater provided in the internal space of the housing. In a usage state where the vehicle heating apparatus is mounted on or built in the vehicle seat, the blowing port is located above the intake port and opens downwardly with respect to a horizontal direction. Thereby, the amount of heating required for the heater is further reduced.

Abstract: A vehicle heating apparatus (10a) to be mounted on or built in a vehicle seat (2) at a location below a sitting portion S of the vehicle seat (2) includes a housing (20), a fan (14), and a heater (15). The housing (20) has an intake port (11), a left nozzle (12l), a right nozzle (12r), an air curtain nozzle (12c), and an internal space (13) serving as air flow paths from the intake port (11) to the left nozzle (12l), to the right nozzle (12r), and to the air curtain nozzle (12c). The air curtain nozzle (12c) is located between the left nozzle (12l) and the right nozzle (12r), and is formed so as to, in the usage state, blow air delivered by the fan (14) in a direction inclined upward at an angle of not more than 90° to a direction in which warm wind is blown out of the left nozzle (12l) and the right nozzle (12r).

Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell system includes at least a solid oxide fuel cell that generates, through an electrochemical reaction, electric power from anode gas and cathode gas containing oxygen, a combustor that burns anode off-gas and cathode off-gas both discharged from the solid oxide fuel cell, and that produces exhaust gas, a purifier that is heated by heat of the exhaust gas produced by the combustor, and that includes a purification catalyst to remove substances to be cleaned up, those substances being contained in the exhaust gas, and a controller. The controller raises the temperature of the purifier to 300° C. or higher for a predetermined time.

Abstract: A vehicle heating apparatus (100A) of the present disclosure is a heating apparatus to be mounted on a vehicle seat (11) at a position below a sitting portion (5) of the vehicle seat (11). The vehicle heating apparatus (100A) includes: a housing (10) having an intake port (2), a blowing port (3), and an internal space (4) serving as a flow path of air from the intake port (2) to the blowing port (3); a fan (6) provided in the internal space (4); a heater (7) provided in the internal space (4); and a mounting structure (8) adapted to mount the housing (10) to the vehicle seat (11) in such a manner that the housing (10) is movable in a width direction of the vehicle seat (11). Therefore, the vehicle heating apparatus (100A) of the present disclosure is highly convenient for occupants.

Abstract: A vehicle heating system in the present disclosure includes a seat heater provided in a vehicle seat, and a warm air heater that includes a housing including an intake port and a blowing port, a fan and a heater provided in an internal space of the housing, the internal space serving as a flow path of air extending from the intake port to the blowing port, and the warm air heater blowing warm air generated by the fan and the heater to lower legs of an occupant seated on the vehicle seat through the blowing port. The seat heater, the fan, and the heater operate to make temperature at the blowing port higher than temperature of a portion of a surface of the vehicle seat that faces the seat heater or temperature near the portion.
