Abstract

Fresh air supplied to the passenger compartment of a vehicle is aspirated via a common fresh air aspirating opening and is conducted to two separately arranged filter devices. The fresh air cleaned in each filter device then is separately conducted to a common air collecting chamber, in which the blower of a heating and/or air conditioning system is disposed.
