  • Patent number: 7708055
    Abstract: An air-conditioner housing comprising an evaporation device, a heating device, and a mixing chamber, out of which air flows to the rear footwell while serving to ventilate the rear passenger compartment. The air-conditioner housing also comprises an air control device that uses mixing flaps to control the air flowing via the evaporation device and the heating device into the mixing chamber. The air-conditioner housing has a separate stratification duct through which cool air can be guided into the ventilation area of the rear passenger compartment.

  • Publication number: 20080017366
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air-conditioning system (1), especially an automotive air-conditioning system, which comprises an air conduction housing (1) and components disposed therein, such as at least one heater (H; h) and one insert (E; F) for supplying and/or mixing the air. Said insert (E; F) and/or the air conduction housing (1) comprises elements, especially flaps, which can be interlinked either directly or indirectly and can be regulated together, thereby converting a multi-zone air-conditioning system into an air-conditioning system with fewer zones.
