  • Publication number: 20250091412
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning device is disclosed. The device includes at least one air inlet, at least one air outlet which is able to direct the flow of air to a front area of the passenger compartment, and a second air outlet which is able to direct the flow of air to a rear area of the passenger compartment. The device also includes one first heat exchanger and one second heat exchanger positioned downstream from the first heat exchanger relative to a direction of circulation of the flow of air within the device. The device also includes one first chamber for mixing the flow of air which is connected fluidically to the first air outlet and at least one second chamber for mixing the flow of air which is connected fluidically to the second air outlet.

  • Publication number: 20240326555
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning system for a motor vehicle. The system includes a fresh air inlet, a movably mounted flap, and a water drainage channel. The movably mounted flap is assigned to the fresh air inlet and blocks an air flow through the fresh air inlet in a closed position and allows an air flow through the fresh air inlet in an open position. The water drainage channel at least partially extends on an outer side of the heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning system along a lower edge of the fresh air inlet.

  • Publication number: 20240198767
    Abstract: An air conditioning system having: a housing with a second fluid inlet, a second fluid outlet, and a second fluid circuit provided therebetween; a heat exchanger for the first fluid, at least partially encapsulated within the housing; a blower housing with a blower motor configured to accelerate the second fluid circulation through the second fluid circuit. The blower housing is at least partially encapsulated within the housing so that the blower motor is located at the lower level than the heat exchanger. The housing includes a filtering compartment located in the vicinity of the second fluid inlet. The filtering compartment further includes a filtering component, a filter fluid evacuation circuit for condensation fluid that condenses on the surface of the filtering component, and a second opening configured to evacuate the filter fluid from the housing. The second opening is fluidly connected to the filtering compartment.
