Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioning device having at least one control element which supplies a prescribed value to the air-conditioning control unit, a state of flow being provided by an air speed and a degree of turbulence of the air, which can be influenced by the strength of the fan, distribution of air to the discharge nozzles, the discharge direction to the discharge nozzles and further actuators which have an effect on the state of flow, and a thermal state is provided by the temperature distribution and effect of radiation in the vehicle interior. Provision is made for the at least one control panel to be used to prescribed a state of flow desirable for the occupant and a thermal state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle air-conditioning device having at least one control element which supplies a prescribed value to the air-conditioning control unit, a state of flow being provided by an air speed and a degree of turbulence of the air, which can be influenced by the strength of the fan, distribution of air to the discharge nozzles, the discharge direction to the discharge nozzles and further actuators which have an effect on the state of flow, and a thermal state is provided by the temperature distribution and effect of radiation in the vehicle interior.

Abstract: The vehicle air-conditioning system according to the invention has at least one air-conditioning air duct with at least one air outflow nozzle having an automatically adjustable air guiding arrangement, a sun radiation sensing system, and an air-conditioning control unit which generates control commands for automatically adjusting the air guiding arrangement at least as a function of the output signals of the sun radiation sensing system. The air-conditioning control unit uses output signals from the sun radiation sensing system to determine the local distribution of sun radiation in the area of a particular vehicle seat and, as a function thereof, automatically adjusts the air guiding arrangement or arrangements assigned to the respective vehicle seat.
