HOUSING FOR MULTI-FLOWPATH HVAC SYSTEM

Abstract: an assembly for air movement within a vehicle. the assembly includes a housing, a fan proximate to the air inlet, an evaporator disposed such that air leaving the fan flows through the evaporator, and a heater, a mixing chamber that is downstream of the evaporator and the heater, the housing establishes a plurality of internal air flow plenums downstream of the evaporator, including first air flow plenum that extends through and past the heater and into the mixing chamber, and a second air flow plenum that bypasses the heater and flows into the mixing chamber. a mixing chamber receives air from the first and second air flow plenums. a plurality of distribution plenums extend from the mixing chamber, each includes a flow valve proximate to an exit, wherein the flow valves are configured to allow or substantially prevent air flow to exit the respective distribution plenum.
