Abstract

The invention relates to a heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning installation for a motor vehicle passenger compartment including a first air intake duct ( 5 ), a first air distribution duct ( 11 ) comprising at least one first air outlet ( 15 a, 15 b ) that is in the passenger compartment and in communication with the first air intake duct ( 5 ), and a second air distribution duct ( 13 ) comprising a second air outlet ( 17 ). According to the invention, said installation ( 1 ) also includes a second intake duct ( 7 ) used exclusively for a recirculated air stream (FR 2 ) coming from the passenger compartment that is in aeraulic communication with the second air distribution duct ( 13 ) so that the second air distribution duct ( 13 ) is supplied only by the recirculated air stream (FR 2 ) coming from the second air intake duct ( 7 ).

First claim

1 . A heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning installation for a motor vehicle passenger compartment comprising:
a first air intake duct; a first air distribution duct comprising at least one first air outlet in the passenger compartment that is in communication with the first air intake duct; a second air distribution duct including a second air outlet; and a second intake duct used exclusively for a recirculated air stream coming from the passenger compartment and that is in aeraulic communication with the second air distribution duct so that the second air distribution duct is supplied only by the recirculated air stream coming from the second air intake duct.

2 . The installation as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
an engine fan able to blow air into the first air distribution duct and into the second air distribution duct, including:
a first portion in communication firstly with the first air intake duct and secondly with the first air distribution duct, and
a second portion in communication firstly with the second intake duct for duct.

3 . The installation, as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the engine fan has a wheel with a bowl made of solid material and extending between the first portion and the second portion of the engine fan.

4 . The installation as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the engine fan has first blades extending from an outer peripheral edge of the bowl towards a first outer peripheral rim of the wheel and second blades extending, opposite the first blades, from the outer peripheral edge of the bowl towards a second outer peripheral rim of the wheel.

5 . The installation as claimed in claim 2 , including:
a volute containing the engine fan; and sealing means separating the volute into two volumes, the first volute volume containing the first portion of the engine fan and the second volute volume containing the second portion of the engine fan.

6 . The installation as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the sealing means include a wall arranged between the two volumes of the volute and means for holding the wall in the volute.

7 . The installation as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the holding means and the wall are formed as a single part.

8 . The installation as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the sealing means include a substantially cylindrical peripheral skirt that holds the wall and that fits into a matching seat of the volute.

9 . The installation as claimed in claim 1 , including at least one adjusting flap arranged in the second air intake duct to adjust the air flow in the recirculated air stream.

10 . The installation as claimed in claim 1 , including a separating partition arranged between the first air distribution duct and the second air distribution duct.

11 . The installation as claimed in claim 1 , including heat treatment means for the air stream arranged in the first air distribution duct and in the second air distribution duct, said heat treatment means:
being common to the two air distribution ducts, and including respectively an internal separating partition for separating the air stream flowing through the first air distribution duct and the second air distribution duct.

12 . The installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one first outlet is a de-icing outlet oriented towards the windshield of said vehicle or a passenger head-aeration outlet in the passenger compartment of said vehicle, and the second outlet is an aeration outlet oriented towards the feet of the passengers in the passenger compartment.
