Abstract
An HVAC system including a defrost manifold. The defrost manifold has a first side window outlet, a second side window outlet, and a windshield outlet. A first rib partially obstructs the first side window outlet. A second rib partially obstructs the second side window outlet. A control door is movable to open and close the defrost manifold. A first wall extends from a first portion of the control door that is opposite to the first side window outlet. A second wall extends from a second portion of the control door that is opposite to the second side window outlet. Movement of the control door varies the position of the first wall relative to the first rib, and varies the position of the second wall relative to the second rib, to control airflow through the first and second side window outlets.
