A modular valve system having fixed valve ports with frame openings on the exterior of each port. Corresponding connectors or plugs are designed to fit within the valve ports and be locked in place by a clip passing through the framed openings and around the connector or plug. The internal valve component may be electrically or mechanically controlled. The modular valve system may be connected to a vehicle coolant system to control fluid flow to a heat exchanger or bypassing the heat exchanger.

Compact air conditioning apparatus, cord harness and method of use thereof
A compact air conditioning apparatus and supporting assembly for electric vehicle and other battery driven applications, and a cord harness for sheathing a power cord. The air conditioning apparatus may include a PTC heater array with stacked PTC heaters with a fan blowing air through the PTC heater array to raise air temperature. The apparatus includes power management features to limit the power consumption, such as staggered PTC heater start-up, a user presence detector and battery threshold monitoring. The air conditioning apparatus may include cooling components to lower air temperature. The cord harness including a series of guard sections and hinges facilitating a foldable protective design for wiring. The air conditioning apparatus may attach to a supporting assembly configured to fit in a cupholder. The supporting assembly may be configured to fit multiple cupholder designs. The air conditioning apparatus and supporting assembly may include additional accessory components.
A system for indicating on an electronic device that the refrigerant being introduced by a user to an air conditioning system has reached its optimum fill level includes a sensor device having a main body, the sensor device being structured and disposed for measuring a range of data; a wireless transmitter on the sensor device, the wireless transmitter being in communication with the electronic device for wirelessly transmitting the range of data to the electronic device; an electronic application configured for use with the electronic device; and wherein the electronic application is structured and disposed for visually indicating to the user via the electronic device the transmitted range of data in real time and audibly indicating to the user via the electronic device when the transmitted range of data reaches a predetermined value.
A vehicle roof fan for providing air conditioning to a user of a vehicle. The vehicle roof fan may include a plurality of individually controlled fans. The apparatus includes power management features to limit the power consumption, such as a user presence detector and/or battery threshold monitoring. The plurality of fans may be associated with one or more optical sensors that each control the operation of one or more of the fans based upon the presence of a user. The air conditioning apparatus may also include heating and/or cooling components to modify the air temperature from the apparatus.
A flexible airflow system providing customizable components for mounting, directing airflow and/or modifying airflow. The system may include a dual fan apparatus for providing heated or cooled air which is compact fit within limited spaces. The dual fan apparatus includes two axial fans on opposing sides of a thermal exchange component which operate in coordination to move air in one direction at a time through the apparatus. The dual fan apparatus increases airflow and thermal transfer efficiency through the thermal exchange component. The system may also include a flexible bracket system and/or a flexible ventilation system to facilitate custom configurations for the airflow system.
