Abstract

The air conditioning apparatus, particularly for rail vehicles, comprises a ventilator (1) which blows conditioned air into a distribution conduit (2). This conduit (2) permits distribution of the air in a direction (x-x') pointing both inwardly and toward the floor (P) of the vehicle, thanks to a series of openings (4) provided on the lateral surface (5) and a series of orifices (6) located facing the openings (4) on an inclined wall (6) located within the conduit (2), and behind the series of openings (4). The securement of the covering (9) on the conduit (2) is insured simply by elements having a supplemental finishing function.
