Abstract: A motor vehicle air-conditioning system includes a housing for guiding an air flow, wherein air outlets for the air supply into the motor vehicle interior are formed. An evaporator through-flowable by the air flow, and a thermal heat exchanger arranged in the housing downstream of the evaporator. A cold air path bypassing the thermal heat exchanger and a warm air path running through the thermal heat exchanger lead downstream into a mixing space connected to the air outlets. At least one separating wall runs through the housing and separates the housing into at least two flow areas along the cold air path, the warm air path, the mixing space and the air outlets. Air outlet areas can be closed and opened by means of operating flaps, and an air bypass can be closed and opened for a direct fluidic connection between at least two temperature zones.

Abstract: A drainage system for draining water from an air intake and from an air distribution housing of an air conditioning system into the environment. The drainage system including a drainage opening or the drainage of water into the environment, wherein the drainage opening is formed on a lower shell of the air distribution housing and is divided into a drainage area for water from the air intake housing on the one hand, and a drainage area for water from the air distribution housing on the other hand, and wherein the drainage area for water from the air intake housing is formed by the terminus of a separate duct for the drainage of water from the air intake. In this way, the reciprocal effect between the different pressure levels is avoided or reduced to the extent possible.

Abstract: A heating and air conditioning device includes a warm air path that leads through a heat exchanger to a mixing chamber and to outlets of the heating and air conditioning device, and a cold air path that leads from the evaporator to the mixing chamber and the outlets of the heating and air conditioning device. A warm air duct is located at an end of the warm air path and an entrance to the mixing chamber. A cold air duct is located at the end of the cold air path and the entrance to the mixing chamber. One or more openings are formed on one of a side wall of the warm air duct and a side wall of the cold air duct so that air can flow from the cold air path into the warm air duct and from the warm air path into the cold air duct.

Abstract: A cooling air interface in a fan housing provided for diverting an amount of cooling air to cool a fan motor from a main air flow on a compression side of the fan, and delivering the cooling air to the fan motor to be cooled. The interface including a cooling air channel with an intake opening emptying into a cooling air passage having a cooling air exit opening where the cooling air is brought to the fan motor. Wall sections of the main air flow path that adjoin the intake opening, which in relation to the direction of the main air flow, are located upstream and downstream of the intake opening, extend up to the adjoining intake opening and into the cooling air channel, transitioning into the cooling air channel walls situated opposite one another in the form of rounded surfaces without corners and edges.

Abstract: A housing including at least one flow path in fluid communication with a mixing chamber, a windshield air outlet, a windshield air flap, a dashboard air outlet, and a dashboard air flap. A bypass is in fluid communication with the dashboard outlet and configured to conduct a cool air flow around the at least one flow path and the mixing chamber. A flow conduit extends from the mixing chamber to the windshield air outlet. The flow conduit is constructed as one part and comprises a wall enclosing a circumference thereof. The flow conduit extends through the bypass, wherein the warm air flow is separated from a warm air flow through the flow conduit by the wall of the flow conduit. The bypass is formed in a bipartite manner around the flow conduit.
