  • Publication number: 20190001788
    Abstract: An air conditioner for a vehicle includes an air conditioning case having a first air passageway and a second air passageway partitioned by a separator therein; a PTC heater disposed in each of the first air passageway and the second air passageway to generate heat by electric energy; and a control unit for controlling operation of the PTC heater. The control unit individually controls discharge temperature of the first air passageway and discharge temperature of the second air passageway of the PTC heater, and if target discharge temperature of the first air passageway and target discharge temperature of the second air passageway are different from each other, the control unit calculates and outputs a compensation value for the PTC heater output of at least one of the first air passageway and the second air passageway. The PTC heater therefore has a reduced output when controlling for dual temperatures.

  • Publication number: 20180363736
    Abstract: Disclosed is a transmission for a vehicle that can improve fuel efficiency by implementing multiple steps of shifting and improve vehicle driving comfort by using operating points in a low RPM range of an engine. According to the transmission, since three single planetary gear sets and one compound planetary gear set are combined or five single planetary gear sets are compound and the rotary elements of the planetary gear sets and friction members are selectively connected and disconnected, their rotational speeds and directions are changed when shifting is performed. Therefore, a vehicle can be driven with the gear ratios of ten or more steps of forward shifting and one step of reverse shifting.
