摘要： An integrated capacity control valve for a variable capacity refrigerant compressor includes an integral pressure sensor that is continuously coupled to a discharge port of the valve for measuring the refrigerant discharge pressure. A plunger of the control valve is disposed within a passage coupling the compressor crankcase to the discharge port, and is positioned by pneumatic and electric control elements to regulate the refrigerant suction pressure. The plunger has intersecting axial and lateral bores that define a continuous passage between the discharge port and a cavity in which the pressure sensor is retained so that the sensor is continuously exposed to the discharge pressure regardless of the plunger position, and refrigerant discharge pressure in the lateral bore produces a bias force on the plunger that compensates the pneumatic suction pressure setpoint for a pressure drop between the evaporator and the suction port of the valve.

摘要： An air quality system for controlling air quality in a cabin of a vehicle is provided. The air quality system utilizes three air quality sensors for detecting three air quality parameters. A controller is responsive to the air quality sensors. The controller is programmed to determine a current value of the air quality parameters from the air quality sensors and to determine whether the current value of any of the air quality parameters exceeds a predetermined limit. The predetermined limits for the air quality parameters are based on levels indicative of poor air quality for the cabin. The controller is operable between purging and non-purging modes to purge the air from the cabin in the purging mode when the current value of any of the measured air quality parameters exceeds the respective predetermined limit.

摘要： An energy-efficient air conditioning control method regulates the capacity of a variable capacity refrigerant compressor based on the compressor suction and discharge pressures and a measure of the ambient temperature. A target suction pressure is selected based on the ambient temperature and the sensed discharge pressure, and the capacity of the compressor is adjusted as required to attain the target suction pressure. In a first embodiment of the control method, the ambient temperature is used to select a target evaporator outlet air temperature, which is used along with the sensed discharge pressure to select the target suction pressure, while in a second embodiment of the control method, the target suction pressure is selected directly on the basis of the ambient temperature and the sensed discharge pressure.

摘要： A pneumatically-operated control valve selectively opens and closes a passage between discharge and crankcase chambers of a variable capacity refrigerant compressor for purposes of controlling the compressor capacity, and includes an integral pressure sensor for measuring the compressor discharge pressure. The valve includes a plunger having an axis, a stopper biased against a seat in the passage coupling the discharge and crankcase chambers, an annular bellows and a pressure sensor. A portion of the plunger passes through the annular bellows, and one end of the bellows is attached to the plunger for axially displacing the plunger to unseat the stopper. The stopper and plunger are maintained in engagement, and have axial bores that are aligned to form a passage between the compressor discharge chamber and a cavity in which the pressure sensor is retained.

摘要： A manually controlled motor vehicle HVAC system is activated for automatically pre-heating or pre-cooling the cabin following remote starting of the vehicle engine. When the engine has been remotely started, an HVAC controller estimates initial outside air and cabin air temperatures, and determines if pre-heating or pre-cooling is appropriate based on the estimated initial temperatures, the engine coolant temperature and a measure of the engine soak time. When pre-heating or pre-cooling is deemed to be appropriate, the HVAC parameters normally set by a driver interface panel are selectively overridden based on the estimated initial outside air and cabin air temperatures. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the initial outside air temperature is estimated based on an inlet air temperature sensor of the engine or on a refrigerant pressure sensor of the HVAC system prior to activation of the refrigerant compressor.

摘要： An improved method and apparatus for diagnosing the condition of an automotive HVAC refrigerant compressor based on information contained within the signal produced by a high-side pressure sensor provided for system control purposes. The output signal of the pressure sensor is divided into its DC and AC components, with the DC component being used for system control purposes, and the AC component being used for diagnosing the condition of the compressor. Pulsations of the AC component (which conventionally are removed by filtering for control purposes) correspond to individual piston stroke cycles. The pulsations indicate compressor operation and are counted for purposes of determining the actual compressor speed. Since existing pressure sensor information is utilized to verify compressor operation and to determine compressor speed, the system cost impact due to the diagnostic evaluation is minimal. Moreover, the pulsations provide failure information that could not be detected by a speed sensor since the pulsations verify that work is actually being performed by the compressor.
摘要翻译：一种改进的方法和装置，用于基于由用于系统控制目的的高侧压力传感器产生的信号中包含的信息来诊断汽车HVAC制冷剂压缩机的状况。压力传感器的输出信号分为直流和交流分量，直流分量用于系统控制，交流分量用于诊断压缩机的状况。 AC组件的脉冲（其通常通过用于控制目的的过滤而被去除）对应于单独的活塞行程循环。脉动表示压缩机运行，并且为了确定实际的压缩机速度而进行计数。由于现有的压力传感器信息用于验证压缩机运行并确定压缩机转速，因此诊断评估所产生的系统成本影响最小。此外，脉动提供由速度传感器无法检测到的故障信息，因为脉动验证实际上是由压缩机执行的。

摘要： An improved control method variably activates an electric resistance heating element in a vehicle heating system so as to maximize the heating performance without overloading the vehicle generator or discharging the vehicle storage battery. A desired activation level for the heating element is determined based at least in part on the ability of the engine driven generator to develop electrical current, and when enabled, the heating element is activated based on the desired activation level. If a load condition for which the generator is unable to charge the storage battery is detected, the activation level is progressively reduced, and when the load condition is no longer detected, the activation level is progressively increased toward the desired level.

摘要： A heating, venting, and air conditioning system utilizes a reformer to provide supplemental heat to a passenger compartment and to improve start-up emissions of an engine of a vehicle or power system. A pump circulates a fluid through the engine and throughout the system. A radiator and heater core transfer heat from the fluid. A first circuit cools the fluid upon circulation through the radiator after circulation through the engine to cool the engine, and a second circuit heats the passenger compartment and cools the fluid upon circulation through the heater core after circulation through the engine to cool the engine. The reformer, which converts a hydrocarbon or alcohol fuel into a reformate, generates heat. A third circuit, defined between the reformer and the pump and interconnected with the heater core, provides the supplemental heat from the reformer to the passenger compartment through the heater core and also to the engine.

摘要： An air conditioning system using a refrigerant to control a temperature of a climate-controlled area. The air conditioning system comprises a refrigerant circuit and a compressor coupled to the refrigerant circuit. The compressor includes a compression mechanism comprising a swash plate and at least one piston engaging the swash plate for compressing the refrigerant. An electric motor has a drive shaft that supports the swash plate at an inclination angle. The swash plate is adjustable between a plurality of inclination angles or stroke positions to adjust a current pressure in a low-side pressure portion of the refrigerant circuit. An electronic control valve adjusts the compression mechanism between the plurality of stroke positions to adjust the current pressure. A controller is programmed to control the electronic control valve until the current pressure is within a predetermined limit of a target pressure. A pressure sensor is coupled to the refrigerant circuit to measure the current pressure in the refrigerant circuit.
