Abstract
Heating device (1), particularly for air conditioning housing of a motor vehicle, wherein the device (1) comprises a heating module (2) configured to heat a flow of air using an electrical current circulating in the module (2), said heating module (2) defining a plurality of zones (7, 8), each zone (7, 8) being capable of heating the flow of air in the direction of one portion of a passenger compartment of said motor vehicle, each of said zones (7, 8) comprising a plurality of heating elements (3) and wherein at least one of said zones (7, 8) comprises a number of heating elements (3) that is different from a number of heating elements (3) heating another of said zones (7, 8).
Claims12
A heating device for an air-conditioning housing of a motor vehicle, the device comprising:
- a heating module configured such as to heat a flow of air using an electric current circulating in said module,
- said heating module defining a plurality of zones, each zone being capable of heating the flow of air in the direction of a part of a car interior of said motor vehicle,
- each of said zones comprising a plurality of heating elements, and
- wherein at least one of said zones comprises a number of heating elements that is different from a number of heating elements of another of said zones.
A heating device for an air-conditioning housing of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a heating module configured to heat a flow of air using an electric current circulating in said heating module, the heating module being substantially parallelepipedal and extending as a surface, positioned transversally relative to the flow of air to be heated,
- said heating module defining a plurality of zones, each zone being capable of heating the flow of air in the direction of a part of a car interior of said motor vehicle,
- each of said zones comprising a plurality of heating elements,
- wherein at least one of said plurality of zones comprises a number of heating elements that is different from a number of heating elements of another of said plurality of zones.
An assembly, comprising:
- a heating device comprising:
- a heating module configured to heat a flow of air using an electric current circulating in said heating module,
- said heating module defining a plurality of zones, each zone being capable of heating the flow of air in the direction of a part of a car interior of said motor vehicle,
- each of said zones comprising a plurality of heating elements,
- wherein at least one of said plurality of zones comprises a number of heating elements that is different from a number of heating elements of another of said plurality of zones;
- and
- a distribution unit configured to form a connection and distribution interface for electrically connecting the heating module to a current supply network of the vehicle,
- the distribution unit being further configured to modulate the current powering the heating module and the plurality of heating elements with the aid of controlled commutators.
