Embodiment Construction

[0026] now refer to figure 1 and figure 2 , which generally illustrates a new and improved dual-zone auxiliary climate control system 10 suitable for use in vehicles such as motor vehicles or autonomous vehicles. The dual zone secondary climate control system 10 is suitable for use in a vehicle heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC system) that also incorporates a primary or primary climate control system. Typically, the dual-zone auxiliary climate control system 10 is adapted to maintain climate control at the rear of the vehicle, behind the front seats.

[0027] The dual zone auxiliary climate control system 10 includes: an evaporator 12; a heater core 14 having a first zone 16 and a second zone 18; a first zone mode door 20, the first zone mode door downstream of the first zone of the heater core; and a second zone mode door 22 downstream of the second zone of the heater core; and blower 24 . Blower 24 is adapted to force air through evaporator 12 and h...

Abstract

A dual zone auxiliary climate control system for a vehicle includes an evaporator, a heater core having a first zone and a second zone, a first zone mode door downstream from the first zone of the heater core, a second zone mode door downstream from the second zone of the heater core and a blower. The blower forces air through the evaporator and the heater core toward the first zone mode door andthe second zone mode door. A method of providing a dual zone auxiliary climate control system is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] This document relates generally to the field of vehicle equipment, and more specifically to a new and improved dual-zone auxiliary climate control system that incorporates a compact sized evaporator and blower, allowing greater design freedom and Use of space for other purposes, including additional seating space. Background technique [0002] A conventional auxiliary evaporator and blower assembly consists of at least one mode door actuated by an electric actuator that distributes airflow between the vehicle's roof duct and floor duct; At least one temperature door actuated by an air conditioner that controls the mixing of hot and cold air to achieve the temperature desired by the occupants. A conventional method of producing a dual zone auxiliary evaporator and blower assembly would involve dividing the evaporator and blower assembly from left to right and adding additional temperature doors and electric actuators. This assembly of components creat...
