  • Patent number: 9649912
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a motor vehicle heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning installation (1). Said installation (1) comprises a unit (3) housing at least one blower (15) interposed between an upstream volume (16) and a downstream volume (17) which volumes are delimited by the unit (3). The upstream volume (16) houses a mixing chamber (18) provided with a mixing flap (20). The upstream volume (16) houses a filter (23). Said installation (1) is fitted with means (27, 20, 24, 25) for regenerating the filter (23). The means (27, 20, 24, 25, 14) for regenerating the filter (23) comprise an interstitial space (27) linking the upstream volume (16) and the downstream volume (17) which is created between the unit (3) and the blower (15).

  • Publication number: 20160221412
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) with a dual air conditioning stream for a motor vehicle, comprising a chamber (2) containing an evaporator (3) and a radiator (4). A lower air stream admitted via a lower inlet (6) passes in succession through a lower portion of the evaporator (3) and of the radiator (4) before being discharged via a lower outlet (7). An upper air stream admitted via an upper air inlet (9) passes in succession through an upper portion of the evaporator (3) and of the radiator (4) before being discharged via an upper outlet (12, 13, 14). The device according to the invention comprises a first distribution flap (17) situated between the evaporator (3) and the radiator (4) and a second distribution flap (18) situated between the radiator (4) and the air outlets (12, 13, 14). Each flap divides the lower stream from the upper stream having an edge running along one face of the radiator (4) while at the same time being moveable between an upper position and a lower position.
