Abstract

The apparatus includes a casing, in which a fresh air passage member has an inlet port communicating with a fresh air inlet, and an outlet port open into an outlet chamber, which is fed through a mixing zone and which in its turn supplies a ventilating duct and a heating duct, the passage member containing internal deflecting walls for encouraging mixing of a stream of fresh air with a stream of mixed air at the outlet of the said passage member.
