Vehicle heating ventilation and air-conditioning module for improved heating and defrosting performance

摘要

An air distribution module for a vehicle heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system receives a layered air-flow of an upper and lower layer for delivery to a vehicle interior. The air distribution module includes a housing defining a central plenum and an air inlet at an upstream side thereof for receiving the layered air-flow of first and second layers. At least a first arcuate duct is coupled to the housing and defines an inner passage wherein the arcuate duct further includes an inlet coupled to a downstream side of the housing and in fluidic communication with the plenum. The duct further includes an inversion loop for inverting the air-flow layers and an outlet for discharging the air into the vehicle interior.
