Abstract: A heating and air conditioning system for a motor vehicle including a housing having an air outlet, a heating heat exchanger disposed inside the housing with a warm air path to heat air flowing therethrough, a warm air duct having a warm air intake opening and a warm air duct discharge opening disposed downstream of the heating heat exchanger channeling a partial flow of warm air from the warm air path to the air outlet, and a mode control damper rotatable about a rotational axis and connected downstream of the warm air duct in terms of flow, wherein the air outlet may be selectively opened completely or partially, and in a closed state may be partially or completely closed. The mode control damper functions simultaneously as the control damper for controlling the volume of air exiting the warm air duct discharge opening.

Abstract: An arrangement for the air distribution of an air conditioning system (1) of a motor vehicle. The air conditioning system (1) is configured with a housing (2) with at least two flow paths (6, 7), which empty into a mixing chamber (8), and at least one air outlet (3a, 3b, 3c) as well as an air flap (10, 11, 12) which can open and close the at least one air outlet (3a, 3b, 3c). The arrangement has a device (18) for air mixing with at least one air resistance element (21), which is supported so that it can turn about an axis of rotation (20) and which extends in the direction of the axis of rotation (20). The air resistance element (21) is configured with at least one flow through opening, so that depending on the position of the device (18) a cross section of at least one flow path (6, 7) of the housing (2) can be changed.

Abstract: The invention relates to an air deflector device for an air conditioning system in a motor vehicle. The air deflector device has at least one closure element and at least one air mixing element. The closure element and the air mixing element have a common rotational axis in the air deflector device. The closure element extends in the direction of the rotational axis across the entire depth of a cross-section of a flow passage to be closed off in the air conditioning system, and comprises retaining elements. The air mixing element, which extends in the direction of the rotational axis, is embodied according to the invention with cross-flow openings, so that a cross-section of at least one flow passage of the air conditioning system can be adjusted based on the position of the air deflector device.

Abstract: A fastening element for holding fluid conduit ends of a motor vehicle air conditioning system on an air conditioning system housing in a region of a conduit interface the fastening element including at least one U-shaped conduit clamping region between two opposing U-leg regions connected to one another by a curved or straight U-shaped base region, wherein at least one fluid conduit end, which is aligned with its conduit axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the U-shaped conduit clamping region, can be clamped in the U-shaped conduit clamping region. At least one pivotable spacer is connected as an integrated component of the fastening element to one of the U-leg regions by means of a film hinge, and is capable of at least partially filling and/or bridging the U-shaped conduit clamping region by means of a pivoting movement in the direction of the respectively opposite U-leg region.

Abstract: A system and method for air distribution in an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle, the system including flow paths with air outlets toward the windshield, in the dashboard, and toward the footwell, along with a central gear mechanism having an adjustment element and damper controls for air dampers, for the purpose of opening and closing the air outlets. The adjustment element is arranged to be steplessly movable between a first end position and a second end position. With the system, in particular by moving the adjustment element, the settings “windshield damper open”, “footwell damper open” and “dashboard damper open” may be selected. The central gear mechanism having the adjustment element and the damper controls is configured such that the “windshield damper open” setting may be selected at either of the end positions of the adjustment element.
