Abstract

A climate control system for a vehicle interior, having a housing, a cooling device, and a heating device. At least one first flow channel, a second flow channel, and a third flow channel are disposed in the housing. A mixing chamber is disposed within the housing, which has at least one outflow opening, which is downstream of the mixing chamber in the flow direction. The flow channels are closable by a flap element, a third flow channel leads from the cooling device to the outflow opening while bypassing the mixing chamber, the flap element in the first flow channel and the flap element in the second flow channel are kinematically coupled and can be adjusted by a mutual control device. The flap element in the third flow channel is kinematically coupled to the other two flap elements or can be adjusted independently by a further control device.
