IMPROVEMENTS IN HEATING/VENTILATING/AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS FOR VEHICLES

摘要

An HVAC Integrated electronic Module (HIM) (41) for controlling airflow through an HVAC module (12), the HVAC module including a variable speed blower motor (18), a plurality of airflow doors (26-28) for controlling air direction and hot-cold air temperature blend, and electrical actuators, servo motors or stepper motors for said doors, the HIM including: one or more air temperature sensors (22) for measurement of one or more of intake air temperature, outlet air temperature, air-off evaporator temperature and engine coolant temperature; actuator control circuitry (31) for controlling said electrical actuators, servo motors or stepper motors; blower motor speed control circuitry (15) for speed control of the variable speed blower motor; sensor control circuitry for said sensors; and communication circuitry for a serial communication interface (42) to enable communication with a vehicle users interface (32).
