Abstract
A heating, ventilating and/or air-conditioning device for a motor vehicle, comprising a housing that defines a flow channel having at least a first duct for the flow of a first stream of air, defining a first air outlet, at least a second duct for the flow of a second stream of air, defining a second air outlet, at least one mixing chamber communicating with the respective air outlets of said ducts, and at least one mixing flap comprising a first sliding door arranged so as to control the apportionment of the first stream of air and second stream of air in said at least one mixing chamber, said at least one mixing flap being arranged so as to be movable between a first end position, in which it closes the first duct, and a second end position, in which it closes the second duct. According to the invention, said first sliding door has at least one recess, so as to fluidically connect the first air duct and the second air duct, when said at least one mixing flap is arranged in an intermediate position between the first and the second end position.
