Abstract

Disclosed is an air-conditioning device for a motor vehicle having a blower for feeding air through an air-conditioning housing, in which a cooling heat exchanger, a heating heat exchanger, and airflow control elements are arranged. The air-conditioning device and the heat exchangers have their greatest dimension in the transverse direction (y direction) of the vehicle. In order to provide a space-saving and cost-effective system, the blower is arranged laterally on the air-conditioning housing, and an air filter having approximately the same transverse dimension as the cooling heat exchanger is arranged in the air stream between the blower and cooling heat exchanger.
