Abstract
An automobile air conditioning system including a fan unit for generating an air flow. The air flow is directed to the passenger compartment of the automobile through a first air duct which is provided downstream of the fan unit. A second air duct branches from the first air duct which extends over and in parallel to the first air duct. A filter is provided between the first and second air ducts for cleaning the air flow to the second air duct from the first air duct through the filter. Further, the air conditioning system is provided with means for selectively directing the air flow from the fan unit to the passenger compartment through the first air duct or through the first and second air ducts.
