Air conditioner

Abstract

An air conditioner for air conditioning a vehicle interior of a motor vehicle, comprising a coolant connection, a refrigerant connection, a condensed water connection, and an air supply channel connection which are each arranged in a front coupling plate and are surrounded by a circumferential seal. As a result, production and assembly costs and leakage risks can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an air conditioner, in particular for air conditioning a vehicle interior of a motor vehicle. Furthermore, the invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising such an air conditioner. Background technique [0002] Heater / air conditioners (also commonly referred to as HVAC, Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) are typically installed in the vehicle interior of a motor vehicle. The fresh air supply and all connections for the refrigerant and coolant lines must therefore be led through the front wall, which separates the vehicle interior from the engine compartment. Separately there, additional pipes drain condensate from the vehicle interior. However, each of these interfaces thus requires its own sealing, which requires not only a high sealing effort, but also a high assembly effort, since each introduction through the front wall must be sealed separately. Furthermore, individual apertures in the front wall have to be provid...

Problems solved by technology

However, each of these interfaces thus requires its own sealing, which requires not only a high sealing effort, but also a high assembly effort, since each introduction through the front wall must be sealed separately

Furthermore, individual apertures in the front wall must be provided for each line, whereby the front wall itself also requires increased production effort

Additional costs associated with the production of the individual orifices as well as the noise-related effort and humidity-related sealing of each orifice
