Air-conditioning unit of a vehicle

A vehicle comprising a vehicle interior and an air-conditioning unit for air conditioning the vehicle interior, the air-conditioning unit including:

• a unit outlet for discharging air into the vehicle interior;
• an outside-air duct for an intake of outside air, which is fluidically connected to the unit outlet;
• an outside-air shut-off element arranged in the outside-air duct, which in a closed position blocks a flow of outside air through the outside-air duct;
• an air recirculation duct for recirculation of inside air from the vehicle interior, which is fluidically connected to the vehicle interior and the unit outlet;
• a recirculated-air shut-off element arranged in the air recirculation duct, which in a closed position blocks a flow of inside air through the air recirculation duct;
• a sensor device for detecting a property of air, the sensor device fluidically connected to the unit outlet;
• and
• wherein on at least one duct of the outside-air duct and the recirculation duct, a bypass is arranged which is fluidically connected to the sensor device such that air is flowable from the at least one duct to the unit outlet through the sensor device to bypass an associated shut-off element;
• wherein the associated shut-off element is one of the outside-air shut-off element and the recirculated-air shut-off element.

An air-conditioning unit of a vehicle for air-conditioning a vehicle interior, comprising:

• a unit outlet through which air is flowable into the vehicle interior;
• an outside-air duct fluidically connected to the unit outlet and configured to intake outside air;
• an outside-air shut-off element having a base body and including a seal fitted on an edge of the base body, the outside-air shut-off element arranged in the outside-air duct such that when the outside-air shut-off element is in a closed position the seal sealingly contacts the outside-air duct and a flow of outside air through the outside-air duct is blocked;
• an air recirculation duct configured to recirculate inside air disposed within the vehicle interior, the air recirculation duct fluidically connected to the vehicle interior and the unit outlet;
• a recirculated-air shut-off element having a base body and including a seal fitted on an edge of the base body, the recirculated-air shut-off element arranged in the air recirculation duct such that when the recirculated-air shut-off element is in a closed position the seal sealingly contacts the recirculation duct and a flow of inside air through the air recirculation duct is blocked;
• and
• a sensor device configured to detect a property of air;
• wherein the outside-air duct includes an outside-air bypass bypassing the outside-air shut-off element, the outside-air bypass branching off of the outside-air duct upstream of the outside-air shut-off element and discharging into the sensor device;
• and
• wherein the recirculation duct includes a recirculation bypass bypassing the recirculated-air shut-off element, the recirculation bypass branching off of the recirculation duct upstream of the recirculated-air shut-off element and discharging into the sensor device.
