1. A device for heating and/or air conditioning the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle comprising:
- a fan assembly disposed to send an air flow through a casing, the casing housing at least a heating radiator and communicating with a deicing outlet, a ventilation outlet, and a feet-level outlet, wherein the fan assembly comprises a first fan operable to send a first air flow through a first part of the heating radiator and a second fan operable to send a second air flow through a second part of the radiator, in that a first distribution means is provided in the casing, downstream of the first fan and the second fan and upstream of the radiator with respect to the second air flow, for controlling an amount of air flowing from the first fan or the second fan to a second distribution means for distributing the first and second air flows which have passed through the radiator, between the deicing outlet, the ventilation outlet, and the feet-level outlet, and wherein an evaporator is interposed between the first fan and the casing, so that the first air flow passes successively through the evaporator and the radiator, whereas the second air flow passes only through the radiator.

Abstract
A device for heating and/or air conditioning the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle comprising a first fan able to send a first air flow through a first part of a heating radiator and a second fan able to send a second air flow through a second part of this radiator, distribution shutters are provided for distributing the first and second air flows between a deicing outlet, a ventilation outlet and a feet-level outlet. The device can generate two independent air flows and send them to the top part and bottom part of the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
