Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un dispositif de chauffage additionnel comportant des éléments chauffants à résistances électriques, par exemple des résistances à coefficient de température positif (CTP), qui permettent de produire rapidement de la chaleur dans les véhicules, notamment lorsque l'on souhaite chauffer rapidement l'habitacle. More particularly, the invention relates to an additional heating device comprising heating elements with electrical resistances, for example positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistors, which make it possible to produce heat rapidly in the vehicles, especially when wants to quickly warm up the cabin.
Des dispositifs de chauffage de ce type comportent un corps de chauffe comprenant des éléments d'échange thermique pouvant diffuser de la chaleur, associés auxdits éléments chauffants.

On comprend que pour chacun de ces dispositifs de chauffage, on recherche un niveau de performance optimale en production de chaleur dégagée dans le conduit de l'installation, et pour ce faire un positionnement optimal des éléments chauffants en travers du flux d'air circulant dans ce conduit. A first connection interface closes the opening through which the additional heating device is inserted into the duct of the ventilation, heating and / or air conditioning system, while a second interface is disposed at the opposite end. to bear against the wall of the conduit opposite the opening. In this way, the heating elements extend through the circulation of the flow and they are able to heat it. It will be understood that for each of these heating devices, an optimum level of performance is sought in the production of heat released in the heating duct. the installation, and for this purpose an optimal positioning of the heating elements across the flow of air flowing in this conduit.
L'invention s'inscrit dans ce contexte en proposant une alternative aux ensembles de chauffages formés de tels dispositifs additionnels et d'un conduit de circulation d'air d'une installation de ventilation, chauffage et/ou climatisation, dans laquelle on vise à assurer la position correcte du dispositif dans le conduit, pour optimiser l'efficacité du dégagement de chaleur dans le flux d'air traversant ce conduit.

Dans la description qui va suivre, on se référera à une orientation fonction des axes Longitudinaux, Verticaux et Transversaux tels qu'ils sont définis arbitrairement par le trièdre L,V,T représenté sur les figures. Le choix des appellations de ces axes n'est pas limitatif de l'orientation que peut prendre le dispositif dans son application à un véhicule automobile, et l'utilisation de termes tels que « supérieur » et « inférieur » est choisie en fonction de l'orientation dans l'illustration accompagnant cette description sans qu'elle soit non plus limitative.

L'ensemble de chauffage 2 selon l'invention comporte un dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 apte à venir se loger en travers d'un conduit 6 d'une installation de ventilation, chauffage et/ou climatisation. The heating assembly 2 according to the invention comprises an additional heating device 4 adapted to be housed across a duct 6 of a ventilation system, heating and / or air conditioning.
On a représenté schématiquement, sur les figures 1 et 2, le conduit 6 dans la portion où un dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 doit être logé. Diagrams 1 and 2 show diagrammatically the duct 6 in the portion where an additional heating device 4 is to be accommodated.
Tel qu'illustré sur la figure 1 , le conduit 6 présente une forme tubulaire, ici de section rectangulaire, dont on a représenté des portions de paroi diamétralement opposées. Une première portion de paroi proximale 8 comporte une ouverture 10 d'accès à l'intérieur du conduit 6, délimitée par un bord relevé 12. L'ouverture 10 délimitée ainsi s'étend principalement longitudinalement. Deux futs de fixation 14 sont réalisés de part et d'autre de cette ouverture 10 dans la dimension longitudinale. La portion de paroi distale 1 6, à l'opposé de la portion de paroi proximale 8 portant l'ouverture 10, présente, sur sa face interne 18, un manchon 20 qui s'étend en saillie de la paroi 16 pour former un élément d'indexage mâle 22. Le manchon 20 présente ici une section de forme sensiblement rectangulaire avec deux parois transversales 24, 26 et deux parois verticales 28, 30. As shown in Figure 1, the conduit 6 has a tubular shape, here of rectangular section, which has been shown diametrically opposite wall portions. A first proximal wall portion 8 has an access opening 10 inside the duct 6, delimited by a raised edge 12. The opening 10 delimited and extends mainly longitudinally. Two fixing portions 14 are made on either side of this opening 10 in the longitudinal dimension. The distal wall portion 1 6, opposite the proximal wall portion 8 carrying the opening 10, has, on its inner face 18, a sleeve 20 which projects from the wall 16 to form an element. The sleeve 20 here has a section of substantially rectangular shape with two transverse walls 24, 26 and two vertical walls 28, 30.
Tel que cela sera décrit ci-après, les parois du manchon 20 sont dimensionnées et écartées les unes des autres de manière à coopérer avec un élément d'indexage femelle du dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 afin d'assurer la mise en position correcte du dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 apte à venir en appui contre cette face interne 18 de la portion de paroi distale 1 6 du conduit 6. As will be described hereinafter, the walls of the sleeve 20 are dimensioned and spaced from each other so as to cooperate with a female indexing element of the additional heating device 4 to ensure the correct positioning of the device. additional heating means 4 adapted to bear against this inner face 18 of the distal wall portion 1 6 of the duct 6.
Par ailleurs, un rail de guidage 32 s'étend longitudinalement à travers le conduit 6, de la portion de paroi distale 8 à la portion de paroi proximale 1 6. Ce rail 32 comporte un corps 34 et une tête de guidage 36, et le rail 32 est positionné dans le conduit 6 de manière à ce que la tête de guidage 36 s'étende sur toute la hauteur du conduit 6 dans un puits défini longitudinalement au droit de l'ouverture 10 réalisée dans la portion de paroi proximale 8. Tel que cela est visible sur la figure 1 , la tête de guidage 36 s'étend dans ce puits virtuel tel qu'il vient d'être défini, une extrémité libre 37 de la tête de guidage 36 étant accessible depuis cette ouverture 10, tandis que le corps 34 du rail de guidage 32 est en retrait, de manière à ne pas gêner l'insertion du dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 tel que cela sera décrit ci-après. Furthermore, a guide rail 32 extends longitudinally through the conduit 6, from the distal wall portion 8 to the proximal wall portion 1 6. This rail 32 has a body 34 and a guide head 36, and the rail 32 is positioned in the duct 6 so that the guide head 36 extends over the entire height of the duct 6 in a well defined longitudinally to the right of the opening 10 made in the proximal wall portion 8. Tel that this is visible in FIG. 1, the guide head 36 extends into this virtual well as it has just been defined, a free end 37 of the guide head 36 being accessible from this opening 10, while the body 34 of the guide rail 32 is recessed, so as not to interfere with the insertion of the additional heating device 4 as will be described below.
Dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 1 , la tête de guidage 36 prolonge le corps 34 par une forme femelle, de type cylindre de section circulaire. On comprend que, en section dans un plan vertical et transversal, le rail de guidage 32 présente la forme d'un disque porté en bout d'une base de forme sensiblement triangulaire par l'intermédiaire d'une portion de jonction étroite. In the example illustrated in Figure 1, the guide head 36 extends the body 34 by a female shape, circular cylinder type. It is understood that, in section in a vertical and transverse plane, the guide rail 32 has the shape of a disk carried at the end of a substantially triangular base by means of a narrow junction portion.
La tête de guidage 36 s'étend au voisinage d'une première paroi transversale 24 du manchon 20, étant noté que la tête 36 est à distance de la première paroi transversale 24 en laissant entre elles une bande de dégagement. Sur la figure 2, on a illustré un dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 disposé dans le conduit 6 tel qu'il vient d'être décrit. Ce dispositif est inséré par l'ouverture 10 formée dans la portion de paroi proximale 8 pour être enfoncé dans le conduit 6 jusqu'à ce qu'il soit en contact de la portion de paroi distale 16. On observe sur cette figure 2 que le dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 vient en recouvrement intégral du manchon 20, et qu'il s'étend longitudinalement le long du rail de guidage 32. The guide head 36 extends in the vicinity of a first transverse wall 24 of the sleeve 20, being noted that the head 36 is at a distance from the first transverse wall 24 while leaving a clearance strip between them. In Figure 2, there is illustrated an additional heating device 4 disposed in the duct 6 as just described. This device is inserted through the opening 10 formed in the proximal wall portion 8 to be driven into the conduit 6 until it is in contact with the distal wall portion 16. It can be seen in this FIG. additional heating device 4 comes in full overlap of the sleeve 20, and that it extends longitudinally along the guide rail 32.
Le dispositif consiste notamment en un boîtier 38 et des modules chauffants 40. Le boîtier 38 comporte un compartiment de chauffe 42 de réception des modules chauffants 40 et deux interfaces de connexion 44 et 46, parmi lesquelles une première interface de connexion 44, disposée à une extrémité du compartiment de chauffe 42 pour interagir avec la portion de paroi proximale 8, et une deuxième interface de connexion 46, disposée à l'extrémité longitudinale opposée du compartiment de chauffe 42 pour interagir d'une part avec la portion de paroi distale 1 6 et son élément d'indexage 22 lorsque le dispositif est en place dans le conduit 6 et d'autre part avec le rail de guidage 32. The device consists in particular of a housing 38 and heating modules 40. The housing 38 comprises a heating compartment 42 for receiving the heating modules 40 and two connection interfaces 44 and 46, among which a first connection interface 44, arranged at a end of the heating compartment 42 to interact with the proximal wall portion 8, and a second connection interface 46, disposed at the opposite longitudinal end of the heating compartment 42 to interact on the one hand with the distal wall portion 16 and its indexing element 22 when the device is in place in the duct 6 and on the other hand with the guiding rail 32.
On a représenté sur les figures 2 et 3 deux variantes de réalisation d'un dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4, et on comprend que d'autres variantes sont envisageables, les variations pouvant porter aussi bien sur le nombre de modules chauffants 40 présents dans le compartiment de chauffe 42, et le nombre de dissipateurs thermiques portés par chaque module chauffant 40, que sur la constitution en une partie (visible sur la figure 3) ou en plusieurs parties (visible sur la figure 2) de ce compartiment de chauffe 42, étant entendu que dans chacune de ces variantes, la deuxième interface de connexion 46 permet la coopération du dispositif avec un élément d'indexage porté par la portion de paroi distale du conduit 6 de l'installation de ventilation, chauffage et/ou climatisation. FIGS. 2 and 3 show two alternative embodiments of an additional heating device 4, and it will be understood that other variants are conceivable, the variations being able to relate as well to the number of heating modules 40 present in the compartment. 42, and the number of heat sinks carried by each heating module 40, as on the constitution in one part (visible in Figure 3) or in several parts (visible in Figure 2) of this heating compartment 42, being understood that in each of these variants, the second connection interface 46 allows the cooperation of the device with an indexing element carried by the distal wall portion of the duct 6 of the ventilation system, heating and / or air conditioning.
Le compartiment de chauffe 42 présente une forme de parallélépipède rectangle dont les deux faces principales sont ajourées pour permettre la diffusion dans le conduit 6 de la chaleur dégagée par les modules chauffants 40 logés à l'intérieur du compartiment de chauffe 42. Des montants 48, disposés à intervalles, réguliers ou non, les uns des autres, s'étendent verticalement sur toute la hauteur de ces faces principales afin de rigidifier l'ensemble sans pénaliser le dégagement de chaleur. The heating compartment 42 has a rectangular parallelepipedal shape whose two main faces are perforated to allow the diffusion in the duct 6 of the heat released by the heating modules 40 housed inside the heating compartment 42. Amounts 48, arranged at intervals, regular or otherwise, from each other, extend vertically over the entire height these main faces to stiffen the whole without penalizing the release of heat.
Le compartiment de chauffe 42 comporte outre ces montants 48, au moins deux parois longitudinales 50, 52, parallèles entre elles, et parmi lesquelles on distingue une paroi latérale supérieure 50 et une paroi latérale inférieure 52. Les montants 48 prolongent perpendiculairement les deux parois latérales depuis un bord transversal respectif pour relier les parois latérales 50, 52 entre elles. The heating compartment 42 comprises in addition to these uprights 48, at least two longitudinal walls 50, 52, parallel to each other, and among which are distinguished an upper side wall 50 and a lower side wall 52. The uprights 48 extend perpendicularly to the two side walls from a respective transverse edge to connect the side walls 50, 52 therebetween.
Sur la figure 3, le boîtier 38 comporte, outre le compartiment de chauffe 42 et les interfaces de connexion 44 et 46, une barrette 54 rainurée. La barrette 54 peut présenter une série de rainures verticales, régulièrement espacées les unes des autres depuis une extrémité longitudinale de la barrette 54 à l'autre, et perpendiculaires à la paroi latérale. La barrette 54 s'étend longitudinalement d'une interface de connexion à l'autre, en prolongement vertical de la paroi latérale dite supérieure 50, et sensiblement au centre de celle-ci. La barrette 54 présente une faible épaisseur par rapport à la dimension transversale de la paroi latérale. In FIG. 3, the housing 38 comprises, in addition to the heating compartment 42 and the connection interfaces 44 and 46, a grooved bar 54. The bar 54 may have a series of vertical grooves regularly spaced from each other from one longitudinal end of the bar 54 to the other, and perpendicular to the side wall. The bar 54 extends longitudinally from one connection interface to the other, in vertical extension of the so-called upper side wall 50, and substantially in the center thereof. The bar 54 has a small thickness relative to the transverse dimension of the side wall.
La première interface de connexion 44 présente une double fonction, à savoir une fonction de connexion électrique pour permettre le raccordement des modules chauffants 40 à une source d'énergie électrique et une fonction mécanique pour fermer de façon étanche l'ouverture 10 du conduit 6 par laquelle le dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 est inséré. The first connection interface 44 has a dual function, namely an electrical connection function to allow the connection of the heating modules 40 to a source of electrical energy and a mechanical function to seal the opening 10 of the duct 6 by which the additional heating device 4 is inserted.
Elle comporte une première platine 56 sensiblement plane, qui s'étend perpendiculairement aux parois du compartiment de chauffe 42. Les moyens de fixation mécanique associés à la première interface de connexion 44 sont portés par la première platine 56 qui présente à ses extrémités verticales des pattes de fixation 58 dans lesquelles des trous de fixation permettent la coopération de moyens de vissage avec les fûts de fixation 14, pour la fixation mécanique du dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 par rapport au conduit 6. Par ailleurs, la première platine 56 comporte sur sa face interne 60, tournée vers le compartiment de chauffe 42 et qui est solidaire de la barrette 54, une rainure périphérique 62 (visible sur la figure 3) dans laquelle un joint peut être positionné de sorte à assurer l'étanchéité à l'air entre l'intérieur de l'installation de climatisation où s'étend le compartiment de chauffe 42 du dispositif et l'extérieur de l'installation où s'étend la première platine 56. It comprises a first plate substantially flat, which extends perpendicularly to the walls of the heating compartment 42. The mechanical fixing means associated with the first connection interface 44 are carried by the first plate 56 which has at its vertical ends legs fasteners 58 in which fixing holes allow the cooperation of screwing means with the fixing drums 14, for the mechanical fixing of the additional heating device 4 with respect to the duct 6. Furthermore, the first plate 56 has on its face internal 60, facing the heating compartment 42 and which is integral with the bar 54, a peripheral groove 62 (visible in Figure 3) wherein a seal can be positioned to ensure airtightness between inside the air conditioning installation where extends the heating compartment 42 of the device and the outside of the installation where extends the first plate 56.
Sur la figure 3, on a rendu visible la face interne 60 de la première platine 56. On peut noter que cette face interne 60 comporte, à l'intérieur de la rainure périphérique 62, un moyen d'indexage 64 dont la forme est ajustée pour venir en prise sur l'extrémité libre 37 du rail de guidage 32 lorsque le dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4 est intégralement enfoncé dans le conduit 6. In FIG. 3, the inner face 60 of the first plate 56 has been made visible. It may be noted that this inner face 60 comprises, inside the peripheral groove 62, an indexing means 64 whose shape is adjusted. to engage the free end 37 of the guide rail 32 when the additional heater 4 is fully depressed into the conduit 6.
Afin de réaliser la connexion électrique des électrodes associées aux modules chauffants 40 à un réseau électrique source du véhicule, on prévoit des moyens de raccordement ici non visibles et logés dans un module 66 (visible sur la figure 2) rapporté sur la première interface de connexion 44. In order to make the electrical connection of the electrodes associated with the heating modules 40 to a source electrical network of the vehicle, connection means are provided here which are not visible and housed in a module 66 (visible in FIG. 2) attached to the first connection interface. 44.
La deuxième interface 46 comporte une deuxième platine 68 qui s'étend transversalement aux parois longitudinales du compartiment de chauffe 42, et sensiblement parallèlement à la platine 56 de la première interface de connexion 44, et elle comporte en outre une patte de guidage 70 disposée à une extrémité verticale de la deuxième platine 68. The second interface 46 comprises a second plate 68 which extends transversely to the longitudinal walls of the heating compartment 42, and substantially parallel to the plate 56 of the first connection interface 44, and it further comprises a guide tab 70 arranged to a vertical end of the second plate 68.
Selon l'invention, la deuxième interface 46 comporte un élément d'indexage femelle réalisé sur la face externe 71 de la deuxième interface 46, c'est-à-dire sur la face tournée vers l'extérieur du compartiment de chauffe 42. Tel que cela est visible sur la figure 3, la deuxième platine 68 présente une partie centrale 72 munie d'une ouverture 74 donnant accès au logement des modules chauffants à l'intérieur du compartiment de chauffe 42. L'ouverture réalisée dans la deuxième platine 68 présente une hauteur dans la direction verticale et une largeur dans la direction transversale au moins égales à la hauteur et la largeur correspondantes du logement, pour permettre l'insertion des modules chauffants 40 dans le compartiment de chauffe 42 par cette ouverture 74, opposée à la première interface de connexion 44. La partie centrale comporte une première paroi transversale 76 au voisinage de la patte de guidage 70 et une deuxième paroi transversale 78 opposée, ainsi que deux parois verticales 79 reliant les dites parois transversales 76, 78. According to the invention, the second interface 46 comprises a female indexing element made on the outer face 71 of the second interface 46, that is to say on the side facing the outside of the heating compartment 42. Tel that this is visible in FIG. 3, the second plate 68 has a central portion 72 provided with an opening 74 giving access to the housing of the heating modules inside the heating compartment 42. The opening made in the second plate 68 has a height in the vertical direction and a width in the transverse direction at least equal to the corresponding height and width of the housing, to allow the insertion of the heating modules 40 in the heating compartment 42 through this opening 74, opposite the first connection interface 44. The central portion has a first transverse wall 76 in the vicinity of the guide tab 70 and a second wall transverse 78 opposite, and two vertical walls 79 connecting said transverse walls 76, 78.
La patte de guidage 70 porte des moyens de guidage complémentaires du rail de guidage 32 solidaire du conduit 6. Ces moyens de guidage sont disposés en saillie du compartiment de chauffe 42, en dégagement vertical par rapport à celui-ci. Dans les exemples illustrés sur les figures 2 et 3, les moyens de guidage portés par la patte de guidage 70 de la deuxième interface 46 consistent en une pince 80 formée par deux doigts aptes à entourer la tête de guidage 36 du rail 32. The guide lug 70 carries complementary guide means of the guide rail 32 integral with the conduit 6. These guide means are arranged projecting from the heating compartment 42, in vertical clearance relative thereto. In the examples illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the guide means carried by the guide tab 70 of the second interface 46 consist of a clamp 80 formed by two fingers able to surround the guide head 36 of the rail 32.
On comprend que, lors de l'insertion du dispositif dans le conduit 6 de l'installation de ventilation, chauffage et/ou climatisation par l'ouverture 10, la patte de guidage 70 est positionnée au voisinage de l'extrémité libre 37 du rail de guidage 32, et le dispositif ne peut être introduit que si le dispositif est correctement placé avec les doigts de la pince 80 venant entourer la tête de guidage 36. On forme ainsi un moyen de détrompage pour s'assurer que le dispositif est monté dans le bon sens, et on forme également un moyen de guidage du dispositif lors de l'insertion dans le conduit 6 puisque la rainure entre les doigts de la pince 80 est d'une largeur inférieure à l'épaisseur de la tête de guidage 36 du rail 32 et que la pince 80 ne peut ainsi pas s'échapper, restant en prise le long du rail 32. It is understood that, when the device is inserted into the duct 6 of the ventilation, heating and / or air conditioning system via the opening 10, the guide lug 70 is positioned in the vicinity of the free end 37 of the rail 32 and the device can be introduced only if the device is correctly placed with the fingers of the clamp 80 surrounding the guide head 36. A polarization means is thus formed to ensure that the device is mounted in common sense, and also forms a guide means of the device during insertion into the conduit 6 since the groove between the fingers of the clamp 80 is of a width less than the thickness of the guide head 36 of the rail 32 and that the clamp 80 can not escape, remaining in engagement along the rail 32.
La présence du rail 32 tel qu'il vient d'être décrit et la forme coopérante de la patte de guidage 70 sont intéressantes en ce qu'elles permettent d'assurer la direction d'insertion du dispositif de chauffage additionnel 4. Toutefois, en variante, on pourrait se passer de ces éléments et ne prévoir qu'un élément d'indexage en saillie de la portion de paroi distale du conduit apte à coopérer par emmanchement avec l'ouverture 74 de la deuxième interface 46 de connexion. En fin d'insertion du dispositif, on procède donc dans tous les cas à l'emboîtement à force de la deuxième interface de connexion 46 dans un élément mâle d'indexage 22 complémentaire de la forme femelle de l'ouverture 74 de la deuxième interface 46 de connexion. Les dimensions verticales et transversales de l'élément d'indexage et celles des bords de la partie centrale de la deuxième interface 46 délimitant l'ouverture 74 sont ajustées pour que l'emboitement de la deuxième interface 46 autour du manchon 20 solidaire du conduit 6 assure une fixation solide du dispositif dans le conduit 6. Les bords délimitant l'ouverture viennent en prise autour des parois transversales 24, 26 et verticales 28, 30 qui définissent le manchon 20. Et la première paroi transversale 76 de la deuxième interface prend place dans la bande de dégagement définie entre le manchon 20 et le rail de guidage 32. The presence of the rail 32 as just described and the cooperating shape of the guide tab 70 are interesting in that they ensure the insertion direction of the additional heating device 4. However, in Alternatively, one could dispense with these elements and provide only one indexing element protruding from the distal wall portion of the conduit adapted to cooperate by fitting with the opening 74 of the second interface 46 connection. At the end of the insertion of the device, therefore, in all cases, the second connection interface 46 is engaged by force in a male indexing element 22 complementary to the female shape of the opening 74 of the second interface. 46 connection. The vertical and transverse dimensions of the indexing element and those of the edges of the central portion of the second interface 46 defining the opening 74 are adjusted so that the interlocking of the second interface 46 around the sleeve 20 secured to the duct 6 provides a solid attachment of the device in the duct 6. The edges defining the opening engage around the transverse walls 24, 26 and vertical 28, 30 which define the sleeve 20. And the first transverse wall 76 of the second interface takes place in the clearance band defined between the sleeve 20 and the guide rail 32.
Il est notable que selon l'invention, l'ouverture dans la deuxième interface de connexion permet la mise en position fiable, géométriquement et dans le temps, du corps de chauffe dans le conduit de l'installation. Et on peut observer que dans un mode de réalisation similaire à celui de la figure 3, l'ouverture dans la deuxième interface traverse longitudinalement cette interface pour permettre en outre l'insertion des modules chauffants dans le boîtier. It is notable that according to the invention, the opening in the second connection interface allows the reliable positioning, geometrically and over time, of the heating body in the duct of the installation. And it can be observed that in an embodiment similar to that of Figure 3, the opening in the second interface longitudinally passes through this interface to further allow the insertion of the heating modules in the housing.
En variante, on pourra prévoir que l'ouverture ne soit pas traversante mais qu'elle consiste uniquement en une dépression formée dans la face externe de la deuxième platine de la deuxième interface, l'emboîtement à force du dispositif dans le conduit faisant l'objet de la présente invention restant dans ce cas toujours possible. In a variant, provision may be made for the opening not to be through but for it to consist solely of a depression formed in the outer face of the second plate of the second interface, the interlocking of the device in the duct forming the second interface. object of the present invention remaining in this case always possible.
La description qui précède explique clairement comment l'invention permet d'atteindre les objectifs qu'elle s'est fixés et notamment de proposer un ensemble de chauffage dans lequel on s'assure de la bonne position d'un dispositif de chauffage de type électrique dans un conduit d'une installation de ventilation, chauffage et/ou climatisation d'un véhicule automobile, pour s'assurer que chacun des modules chauffants portés par ce dispositif soit bien agencé en travers du flux d'air circulant dans ce conduit. The foregoing description clearly explains how the invention makes it possible to achieve the objectives it has set itself and in particular to propose a heating assembly in which the correct position of an electric heater is ensured. in a duct of a ventilation system, heating and / or air conditioning of a motor vehicle, to ensure that each of the heating modules carried by this device is well arranged across the flow of air flowing in this conduit.
