Abstract

The device, its components connected together in a rigid manner and as a unit, comprises a housing containing components for the treatment of air (fan, radiator, mixing and distribution shutters), median outlets (6) and lateral outlets (8) for discharge of the air into the passenger space, outlets (10) for discharge of the air onto the windshield, and rigid ducting arrangements (5, 7, 9) conducting the air from the treatment components to the discharge outlets. This device simplifies the mounting of the heating installation in the assembly line of construction of the vehicle, and can also support other elements, i.e., the instruments of the dashboard, controls, connectors, connection wires, and the like.
