Vehicle atmosphere purifying apparatus

摘要

A vehicle atmosphere purifying apparatus including an ozone purifying body, in which activated charcoal is coated on a core portion of radiators and a condenser, respectively. If water adheres to pores of activated charcoal or areas surrounding the pores, ozone becomes hard to enter mesopores and micropores. Even if ozone enters, an electron becomes hard to donate from the activated charcoal to the ozone. Consequently, the performance of the activated charcoal decreases while water is adhered thereto. When an amount of moisture adhered to activated charcoal is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, moisture desorption control is executed that forcibly heats the activated charcoal to a high temperature to desorb the moisture therefrom.

主权项

1. A vehicle atmosphere purifying apparatus comprising:
a heat source apparatus that is mounted for at least one purpose of vehicle driving and in-vehicle air conditioning; a vehicle component that is arranged at a location at which a flow path of atmospheric air is formed while a vehicle is running, and has a coolant circulation channel through which first coolant that circulates inside the heat source apparatus flows; an ozone purifying body that is provided on the vehicle component and purifies ozone; a heat recovery apparatus through which second coolant flows, the second coolant recovering heat that is generated by the heat source apparatus; a heat recovery channel connected to the heat recovery apparatus and through which the second coolant flows; a valve provided between the coolant circulation channel and the heat recovery channel; and a controller configured to open the valve in a case where a moisture amount that is adsorbed on the ozone purifying body is equal to or greater than a preset amount, and to close the valve in a case where the moisture amount is smaller than the preset amount.
