AI Technical Summary
Vehicle air conditioning systems face challenges in maintaining an optimal temperature difference between air vents and footwells due to issues with cold air being diverted away from mixing chambers, leading to reduced condensation removal capacity and discomfort, especially in defrost and bi-level modes.
An air conditioning system with a flow correction element integrated into the mixing flap that redirects cold air towards warm air inlets, ensuring proper mixing without increasing resistance in the airflow channel, and a synchronized mechanism to adjust temperature differences between air vents and footwells.
The system achieves effective condensation removal and comfortable temperature distribution by ensuring proper mixing of cold and warm air, maintaining optimal temperature differences without increasing resistance or requiring complex synchronization mechanisms.
