Air conditioning system having cylindrical heat exchangers

An air conditioning system for a vehicle comprising:

• an evaporator having a cylindrical body and defining a cavity, wherein the evaporator is a heat exchanger that cools air flowing through the evaporator;
• a heater core having a cylindrical body and positioned within the cavity defined by the evaporator such that the evaporator and the heater core are coaxially positioned with each other about a center axis, wherein the heater core is a heat exchanger that heats air flowing through the heater core;
• a first valve controlling flow of a first fluid to the evaporator;
• a second valve controlling flow of a second fluid to the heater core;
• and
• a climate control module regulating a temperature of air flowing through the heater core and the evaporator by way of the second valve and the first valve.

An air conditioning system for a vehicle comprising:

• an evaporator having a cylindrical body and defining a cavity;
• a heater core having a cylindrical body and positioned within the cavity of the evaporator and defining a bore, wherein the evaporator and the heater core are coaxially positioned with each other about a center axis, and the heater core draws in air through the bore and directs the air outward toward the evaporator;
• a motor operable for rotating the heater core about the center axis;
• and
• a climate control module controlling a rotational movement outputted by the motor such that the climate control modules controls a rotational speed of the heater core by way of the motor, wherein the climate control module regulates air flow through the heater core and the evaporator via the motor.
