Abstract:
Air-conditioning system for a, passenger cell of a vehicle, comprising:an evaporator arranged in an air stream, for cooling the air stream, a heat exchanger for heating the air stream, said heat exchanger being arranged downstream of the evaporator and having a heating medium flowing through it permanently, an air-mixing space which is directly adjacent to an air outlet side of the heat exchanger and which has a warm-air inlet into the air mix space, the warm-air inlet covering at least part of an air outlet surface of the heat exchanger and a cold-air inlet forming a mouth of a cold-air duct bypassing the heat exchanger, a warm-air control member setting the opening cross section of the warm-air inlet and a cold-air control member setting the opening cross section of the cold-air inlet, wherein an air-guide flap pivotable into two pivoting end positions is arranged at an inlet of the cold-air duct on the air inlet side of the heat exchanger facing the evaporator, in such a way that, in a first pivoting end position assumed in a â€œmaximum coolingâ€  operating mode, the air-guide flap covers only a part region of the air inlet surface of the heat exchanger and assumes an angular orientation relative to the hear exchanger, in which orientation it diverts the air stream towards the inlet of the cold-air duct.
