Abstract
An air handling system for a vehicle comprises a conditioning section for controlling a temperature of a flow of air, a mixing section disposed downstream of the conditioning section with respect to a direction of the flow of the air, and a delivery section disposed downstream of the mixing section with respect to the direction of the flow of the air. The delivery section includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber. A dividing plate separates each of the second chamber and the third chamber into a first side portion to a first side of the dividing plate and a second side portion to an opposing second side of the dividing plate. The second side portion of the third chamber is configured to primarily direct the flow of the air towards a rear seat area of the vehicle.
