  • Patent number: 7275586
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heating or air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle, by which individual zones of the vehicle interior can be supplied with separately temperature-controlled air. An improved heating or air-conditioning system, which requires just a small amount of installation space, feeds differently temperature-controlled air to a plurality of air-conditioning zones. Despite the small amount of installation space, optimum mixing of cold air and warm air takes place in the heating or air-conditioning system, with the result that the air emerging from air-outlet openings in a respective air-conditioning zone have a constant temperature over the outlet cross section.

  • Patent number: 6581678
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heating or air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle, having a heater for generating warm air, at least one cold air duct leading past the heater, and air mixing spaces provided adjacent to the heater. The air duct is divided into sub-ducts for guiding air into the mixing spaces. The mixing spaces are arranged in the direction of flow and are separated from one another by at least one dividing wall. Cold air and warm air are mixed to a specific temperature in the mixing spaces by means of airflow control elements and then fed to an assigned air-conditioned zone via an air duct and air outlet nozzle.
