Abstract
In an air-conditioner or heater for a motor vehicle cabin, the casing (10) housing the heat exchanger (12) proper essentially comprises an air inlet duct (26) leading to the upstream face (22) of the heat exchanger and an air outlet duct (28) leading away from the downstream face (24) of the heat exchanger. A baffle wall (38) extends adjacent to the downstream face (24) to hinder the flow of air through portions of the heat exchanger where it would otherwise flow fastest. This increases the overall efficiency of the heat exchanger.
