Abstract
A heating and/or air conditioning system for an interior of a vehicle has a central heating and/or cooling device and a decentralized air-conveying device which includes a plurality of air-conveying units arranged locally in the vehicle interior. In order to permit good regulation of the heating and/or air conditioning system and efficient air conditioning, respective air-conveying units of the decentralized air-conveying device are arranged in a plurality of subspaces of the vehicle interior for circulating air in the respective subspaces.
Claims17
A heating and/or air conditioning system for a plurality of subspaces in an interior of a vehicle, including at least one of a driver's footwell, a front passenger's footwell, and a rear footwell, comprising:
- a central air-conveying and/or air-conditioning device which is designed for at least one of heating, cooling, drying, cleaning, humidifying, and conveying air, having at least one fan, a heat exchanger and an evaporator, and which can be switched between a plurality of operating modes, and
- a decentralized air-conveying device which has a plurality of air-conveying units arranged in the vehicle interior,
- wherein respective air-conveying units of the decentralized air-conveying device are arranged in a plurality of the subspaces in the vehicle interior, and
- wherein, in at least one operating mode, the central air-conveying and/or air-conditioning device feeds ingoing air into the vehicle interior and removes outgoing air, and the air-conveying units of the decentralized air-conveying device circulate air in respective subspaces.
