  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20070207719
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heater or air conditioner comprising a mixing zone (M1) in which cold and hot air discharged from a cold air duct (K) and a hot air duct (W), respectively, are mixed. At least one second mixing zone (M2) is provided which is disposed downstream of the first mixing zone (M1) in the direction of air flow and to which cold and/or hot air can be delivered directly via a duct (K3; K3?; K3?) while the first mixing zone (M1) is bypassed. Also disclosed is a method for mixing air.

  • Patent number: 6595276
    Abstract: A heating and air-conditioning unit includes a heating unit, at least one cold-air duct guided around the heating unit, and air-mixing spaces downstream of the heating unit. At least one partition separates the mixing spaces into which cold and heated air can each be controllably introduced by air-flow control elements. As a result, air which can be temperature-controlled separately, can be supplied to at least two zones. To minimize the structural space occupied by the unit, at least one first partial air stream flows through a first assigned subregion (22VR and 22VL) of the heating unit (22) in a first direction, and at least one second partial air stream flows through a second assigned subregion (22HR and 22HL) of the heating unit (22) in a second direction opposed to the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20020014331
    Abstract: A heating and air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle having a conditioning housing in which at least one heat exchanger is integrated and which has a plurality of air outlet openings for guiding air to front interior zones of the motor vehicle is known. According to the invention, the conditioning housing has a connecting section which is provided with at least one air outlet opening and is intended for connecting to an optionally attachable rear temperature-control unit which, when not utilized can be tightly, in a leak-proof manner, closed by a removable covering part.

  • Publication number: 20010004015
    Abstract: A heating or air-conditioning unit for a motor vehicle includes a heating unit for generating heated air, at least one cold-air duct guided around the heating unit, and air-mixing spaces provided downstream of the heating unit in the direction of flow. The mixing spaces are separated from one another by at least one partition and into which cold and heated air can be introduced in each case in a controllable manner by means of air-flow control elements, in order to mix the air in each mixing space to a certain mixing temperature. It is thereby possible to supply air which can be temperature-controlled separately to at least two air-conditioning zones.
