Abstract

The invention relates to a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, particularly a flat, modular air conditioning unit for a motor vehicle, including an essentially box-shaped casing with a length y, a height z and a width x, and several air guiding and air distribution devices placed between an air inlet and an air outlet. Air conditioning devices, including a heat exchanger and a fan, are also provided. According to the invention the air conditioning devices are linearly arranged one after another along the length y of the casing. The heat exchanger is inclined relative to the length y of the casing by an angle a′ and relative to the width x of the casing by an angle b′ such that y>x>z.
