Abstract

A vehicle climate control unit with an evaporator, a heating heat exchanger as well as a blower, characterized in that, in the direction of the air flow, are disposed, upstream of the blower on the suction side, the evaporator and the heating heat exchanger, and that an additional heating heat exchanger is disposed downstream of the blower on the pressure side.

Claims (19)

1. A vehicle climate control unit with an evaporator, a heating heat exchanger for heating air as well as a blower, wherein, in a direction of an air flow, the evaporator and the heating heat exchanger are disposed upstream of the blower on a suction side, and an additional heating heat exchanger is disposed downstream of the blower on a pressure side, wherein the heating heat exchanger is provided which comprises a preheat zone and a reheat zone opposing in flow in relation to the disposition of the zones to the blower.

2. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 1 , wherein a main temperature louver is disposed between the evaporator and the preheat zone, wherein the main temperature louver controls the ratio of heated to cooled air.

3. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 2 , wherein a secondary temperature louver is disposed in a reheat flow.

4. The vehicle climate control unit as in claim 3 , wherein the secondary temperature louver is mechanically coupled with the main temperature louver and is implemented such that it is drivable thereacross.

5. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 4 , wherein several air outlets are provided on the pressure side of the blower, wherein at least one air outlet is provided for a mixed air flow without reheating, and at least one air outlet is provided for a reheat flow with reheating.

6. The vehicle climate control unit as in claim 3 , wherein the secondary temperature louver is implemented with a separate drive.

7. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 6 , wherein several air outlets are provided on the pressure side of the blower, wherein at least one air outlet is provided for a mixed air flow without reheating, and at least one air outlet is provided for a reheat flow with reheating.

8. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 3 , wherein several air outlets are provided on the pressure side of the blower, wherein at least one air outlet is provided for a mixed air flow without reheating, and at least one air outlet is provided for a reheat flow with reheating.

9. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 2 , wherein several air outlets are provided on the pressure side of the blower, wherein at least one air outlet is provided for a mixed air flow without reheating, and at least one air outlet is provided for a reheat flow with reheating.

10. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 1 , wherein several air outlets are provided on the pressure side of the blower, wherein at least one air outlet is provided for a mixed air flow without reheating, and at least one air outlet is provided for a reheat flow with reheating.

11. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 1 , wherein the heating heat exchanger preheat zone and the evaporator are disposed in parallel in the climate control system inflow for the air.

12. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 1 , wherein several air outlets are provided on the pressure side of the blower, wherein at least one air outlet is provided for a mixed air flow without reheating, and at least one air outlet is provided for a reheat flow with reheating.

13. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 1 , wherein a main temperature louver is disposed between the evaporator and the heating heat exchanger preheat zone, wherein the main temperature louver controls the ratio of heated to cooled air.

14. A vehicle climate control unit with an evaporator, a heating heat exchanger for heating air, as well as a blower, wherein, in a direction of an air flow, the evaporator and the heating heat exchanger are disposed upstream of the blower on a suction side and that an additional heating heat exchanger is disposed downstream of the blower on a pressure side, wherein a heating heat exchanger preheat zone and the evaporator are disposed in parallel in a climate control system inflow for the air.

15. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 14 , wherein several air outlets are provided on the pressure side of the blower, wherein at least one air outlet is provided for a mixed air flow without reheating, and at least one air outlet is provided for a reheat flow with reheating.

16. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 14 , wherein a main temperature louver is disposed between the evaporator and the heating heat exchanger preheat zone, wherein the main temperature louver controls the ratio of heated to cooled air.

17. A vehicle climate control unit with an evaporator, a heating heat exchanger for heating air as well as a blower, wherein, in a direction of an air flow, the evaporator and the heating heat exchanger are disposed upstream of the blower on a suction side and that an additional heating heat exchanger is disposed downstream of the blower on a pressure side, wherein a heating heat exchanger preheat zone and the evaporator are connected in series in a climate control system inflow for the air.

18. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 17 , wherein several air outlets are provided on the pressure side of the blower, wherein at least one air outlet is provided for a mixed air flow without reheating, and at least one air outlet is provided for a reheat flow with reheating.

19. The vehicle climate control unit according to claim 17 , wherein a main temperature louver is disposed between the evaporator and the heating heat exchanger preheat zone, wherein the main temperature louver controls the ratio of heated to cooled air.
