Abstract:
A heating and air-conditioning installation for a vehicle comprising:at least one de-icing region disposed adjacent a window of said vehicle and at least one air-diffusion region with a low output per unit surface area, said at least one de-icing region adjoining said at least one air-diffusion region, and at least one air-distributing element provided to selectively distribute air between said at least one de-icing region and said at least one air-diffusion region, said air-distributing element having at least one first position which blocks said at least one air-diffusion region, and at least one second position which blocks said at least one de-icing region, wherein said at least one air-distributing element is porous such that when placed in said second position an output per unit surface area via said at least one de-icing region corresponds to said low output per unit surface area of said at least one air-diffusion region, such that said at least one de-icing region and said at least one air-diffusion region together provide air diffusion at a low output per unit surface area.
