Abstract
An air-conditioning unit for a motor vehicle comprises a housing having arranged therein, a blower, an evaporator of a cooling unit, and a heater heat exchanger. The evaporator and the heater heat exchanger are arranged downstream of the housing in terms of the airstream, and a plurality of discharge connection stubs which are arranged downstream of the heater heat exchanger are provided in the housing. In order to achieve the smallest possible space requirement and to subject the air channeling to the smallest possible changes in direction, the evaporator and the heater heat exchanger are arranged in the housing in the form of a V with respect to one another, such that respective ends thereof rest closely together in the vicinity of an initial section of the blower spiral.
