  • Publication number: 20150290999
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle air conditioning system having a plurality of control dampers, the control dampers being designed as at least one cold air damper and at least one warm air damper for controlling a cold air path and a warm air path, which system is characterized in that a passage for a partial air flow can be formed between the control dampers depending on the damper position, and in that the passage forms additional air flow resistance for the cold air flow, thereby increasing the linearity of flow control of the cold air flow and the warm air flow.

  • Publication number: 20150226340
    Abstract: A device for expansion of coolant having a housing with a flow channel. A ball-shaped valve element arranged to be integrated inside the housing. The valve element is mounted so that it can turn about an axis of rotation and is configured with a through channel. The through channel of the valve element is configured with an entry opening and an exit opening and arranged so that the flow cross section of the through channel decreases from the entry opening to the exit opening in the direction of flow of the coolant. At the exit of the through channel the least flow cross section is formed.

  • Publication number: 20140075974
    Abstract: The invention concerns an air conditioning system for conditioning the air of a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle including a housing with a first flow channel and a second flow channel for conducting air and a refrigerant circuit with an evaporator and a condenser. The evaporator is arranged in the first flow channel and the condenser in the second flow channel. The air conditioning system is designed for cooling and heating the passenger compartment and for a reheat operation. The setting of the operating mode is done only via the controlling of air guidance mechanisms. One of the heat exchangers evaporator or condenser is arranged with a part of the heat transfer surface in both the first and the second flow channel.

  • Patent number: 8394237
    Abstract: A process for the production of paper, board and cardboard by draining a paper stock on a wire in the presence of at least one cationic polymeric retention aid and/or retention aid system with sheet formation and drying of the sheets, wherein an endo-?-1,4-glucanase is metered in an amount of from 0.00001 to 0.01% by weight, based on the dry paper stock, into the paper stock before the addition of the at least one cationic polymeric retention aid and/or retention aid system.
