Abstract

See full text

An air circulation system configured to mount within a B-pillar, C-pillar, other pillar, or interior trim or cross trims through an air channel of a vehicle. The air circulation system includes a scroll within the pillar, which defines an inlet configured to receive inlet air from a vehicle cabin at the pillar. A fan within the pillar is configured to circulate the inlet air within the scroll. An elongated throat extending from the scroll is configured to receive forced air from the scroll. The throat defines a length and an outlet extending along the length, wherein the outlet delivers the forced air into the vehicle cabin from the pillar in an air stream. The outlet is configured such that the forced air delivered from the outlet creates a Coandă effect that attracts air in the vehicle cabin to move in the direction of the air stream.
