Problems solved by technology

[0004] In practice, however, currently used air-conditioning units have shown that there is still an undesired need for more installation space in the longitudinal vehicle direction, despite optimizing the overall design and changing the geometry

Embodiment Construction

[0043] FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through an air conditioning system 1 according to the invention for use in a vehicle. The air conditioning device 1 essentially comprises a box-shaped housing 2 , so that the y-axis 10 . 1 corresponds to the longitudinal extension of the housing 2 and the z-axis 10 . 3 corresponds to the overall height of the housing 2 . On the right side as viewed from the observer in FIG. 1 , air is sucked in from the air inlet 3 by the fan 7 and blown out from the air outlet 4 after being air-conditioned, and then supplied to an air distribution system (not shown) of the vehicle. Obviously, the air conditioning unit 1 comprises a heat exchanger remote from the fan 7, which is configured as a heating heat exchanger 5, and several air guiding and air distribution devices 8 downstream of the heating heat exchanger 5 in the air flow direction. In the example shown, the heating heat exchanger 5 is only inclined at an angle a' relative to the y-axis 10.1...

Abstract

The invention relates to a air conditioning system, particularly a flat, modular air conditioning unit for a motor vehicle, including an essentially box-shaped casing with a length y, a height z and a width x, and several air guiding and air distribution devices placed between an air inlet and an air outlet. Air conditioning devices, including a heat exchanger and a fan, are also provided. According to the invention the air conditioning devices are linearly arranged one after another along the length y of the casing. The heat exchanger is inclined relative to the length y of the casing by an angle a and / or relative to the width x of the casing by an angle b such that y>x>z.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an air conditioning system, in particular a modular air conditioning unit of flat design for a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] When designing a vehicle, the shape and size of the vehicle body is defined, which in turn determines the maximum installation space available for each vehicle system and component to be installed. The result of this process of definition, which occurs in parallel with design and aerodynamic development, is often referred to as the overall design. The overall design of air-conditioning equipment, especially air-conditioning units, requires a lot of development work, since the housing of such equipment requires a lot of space. [0003] Firstly, such developments focus on changing the geometry of the air conditioning unit, ie generally making it smaller, and secondly, placing the air conditioning unit in the vehicle where it does not dist...
