9.10 Air distribution
The air distribution is determined by the system
architecture.
The air in the unit is directed to the main outlets
by using doors and cinematic parts (actuator, levels,
cables, central gear … )
Some HVACs are separated in distribution, so that
the passenger can have a different setting from the
driver.
g
In manual air conditioning systems, flaps inside
the device are used to control the head/lap/foot
air distribution. The flaps are actuated from the
control panel using cables.
g
Automatic air conditioning systems apply the
same principle, but they are fitted with motor-
driven mixing flaps that adapt the air distribution
to the context and the history of system usage.
The distribution function
is located inside the HVAC
after the mixing function
