  • 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 29, 2005
    Date of Patent: October 2, 2007
    Assignee: Behr GmbH & Co.

  • Publication number: 20050169821
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air treatment system (1) for a vehicle, especially a motor vehicle, which comprises a channel system (2) for guiding a current of air (17), comprising an inlet opening (6) for fresh air that communicates with the surroundings (7) of the vehicle, and a plurality of outlet openings (10) that communicate with the vehicle interior (9). The system further comprises a ventilator (3) for generating the current of air (17) in the channel system (2), a heating device (5) for heating up the current of air (17) and a cooling device (4) for cooling the current of air, and an oxidation device (41) that is electrically operated and decomposes odors and/or pollutants contained in the current of air (17).
