Abstract

An air-conditioning device for a vehicle comprising in a housing (13) a first conduit (20) for transmitting a cool air flow (F1) and a second conduit (22), wherein is installed a heat exchanger (24) for transmitting a warm air flow (F2). The conduits (20, 22) are interposed between an air intake (14) and a mixing zone (31) delivering mixed air. A system splitting (40) the air flows (F1, F2), delivered by the conduits (20, 22) is provided at the junction of the two conduits and in the second conduit (22) downstream of the heat exchanger (24). The splitting system (40) comprises transversely alternating a plurality of cool air passages (46) and a plurality of warm air passages (49). The passages emerge into two separate mixing zones (31, 25).
