Abstract
A temperature control device for a vehicle is provided that includes a first air duct for guiding a first portion of an air flow and a second air duct for guiding a second portion of an air flow. A cooling device is disposed in the first air duct, in order to cool the first portion of the air flow. A mixer device is provided for mixing the first air flow from the first air duct with the second portion of the air flow from the second air duct in order to generate a temperature controlled air flow.
Claims10
A temperature control device for a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a first air duct configured to guide a first portion of an air flow;
- a cooling device disposed in the first air duct and configured to cool the first portion of the air flow;
- a second air duct configured to guide a second portion of the air flow;
- and
- a mixing device configured to mix the first air flow from the first air duct with the second portion of the air flow from the second air duct in order to generate a temperature-controlled air flow.
A method for generating a temperature-controlled air flow for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- guiding a first portion of an air flow via a first air duct;
- cooling the first portion of the air flow;
- guiding a second portion of the air flow via a second air duct;
- and
- mixing the first portion of the air flow from the first air duct with the second portion of the air flow from the second air duct in order to generate the temperature-controlled air flow.
