Abstract
A HVAC apparatus 10 for a vehicle 12 having a fan unit 14 with a plurality of axial impellers 16 driven by motors 18 mounted in their centers, wherein the axial impellers rotational axis is substantially perpendicular to the fan unit's suction direction, a heat exchanger unit 20 forming an air duct receiving air from the fan unit, and a plate-shaped housing accommodating the fan unit and the heat exchanger unit.
Claims19
A HVAC apparatus for a vehicle having
- a fan unit with a plurality of axial impellers driven by motors mounted in their centers, the axial impellers producing suction in a direction substantially parallel to the rotational axes of the axial impellers;
- a heat exchanger unit forming an air duct receiving air from the fan unit, the air duct directing the air received from the fan unit in a direction perpendicular to the rotational axes of the axial impellers;
- and
- a plate-shaped housing accommodating the fan unit and the heat exchanger unit, the housing having a flat base defined by at least a length dimension corresponding to a length of the heat exchanger and a width dimension, wherein both the rotational axes of the axial impellers and the length dimension of the heat exchanger are substantially parallel to the base of the housing, and wherein the height dimension is less than the length dimension, and wherein an overall profile height of the HVAC apparatus is less than or equal to 80 mm.
