Abstract
L'invention concerne une unité de conditionnement d'air de siège arrière (10) qui comprend un évaporateur (40) agencé dans un boîtier (20). L'évaporateur (40) présente une forme aplatie et chauffe ou refroidit l'air qui circule dans le sens de l'épaisseur, au moyen d'un fluide frigorigène qui circule à l'intérieur de l'évaporateur (40). L'évaporateur (40) comporte une surface de sortie d'air (40a) située en aval de l'air dans le sens de l'épaisseur de l'évaporateur (40). L'évaporateur (40) est agencé de telle sorte que la surface de sortie d'air (40a) soit orientée vers la direction gauche-droite du véhicule. Par conséquent, la dimension du boîtier (20) dans la direction gauche-droite peut être plus petite tout en donnant à l'évaporateur (40) une forme qui ressemble à un carré lorsqu'on regarde dans le sens de l'épaisseur.
