Abstract

L'invention concerne un climatiseur. La présente invention concerne un climatiseur qui comprend : un boîtier qui a un orifice d'admission et un orifice d'évacuation et qui comporte une première surface de guidage formant l'orifice d'évacuation et une seconde surface de guidage faisant face à la première surface de guidage ; un échangeur de chaleur qui soumet l'air qui a été aspiré par l'orifice d'admission à un échange de chaleur ; un ventilateur de soufflante qui aspire l'air depuis l'orifice d'admission et l'amène à passer à travers l'échangeur de chaleur et à subir un échange de chaleur avant son évacuation par l'orifice d'évacuation ; et une unité de régulation d'écoulement d'air qui est prévue pour être apte à se déplacer entre une première position, adjacente à l'extrémité de l'orifice d'évacuation à partir de laquelle l'air est évacué et une seconde position, distante de l'extrémité de l'orifice d'évacuation à partir de laquelle l'air est évacué et qui fait saillie à partir de la première surface de guidage ou de la seconde surface de guidage du boîtier lorsqu'elle se trouve dans la première position.
