Abstract
A particular device is provided for heating and/or air conditioning a vehicle interior. Housings for air conditioners of motor vehicles, typically, are relatively cumbersome to manufacture because of the need to install control flaps in front of and behind the heater. Sealing of the heater in its installation housing is also difficult. It is proposed, therefore, to make the housing for receiving the heater in two parts and to provide a plug-in part for the heater as well as a frame that can be snapped onto the plug-in part as a closure. Both the plug-in part and the frame are provided with an integral control flap arrangement.
