  • Publication number: 20230235979
    Abstract: A heat exchange module having a first heat exchanger, configured to enable heat exchange between a first fluid and a flow of air and extending inside a first plane of overall extension, and a second heat exchanger, configured to enable heat exchange between a second fluid and the flow of air and extending inside a second plane of overall extension, is disclosed. A housing delimiting, with the first heat exchanger, a circulation channel for the flow of air is included. The module has at least one air distribution member, movable between a position in which the air distribution member allows the flow of air to pass through the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, and a position in which the air distribution member prevents the flow of air from passing through the first heat exchanger while allowing the flow of air to pass through the second heat exchanger.
