Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) module for a vehicle includes a base, a cover, and a clamp. The base is configured to define a post protruding from a wall of the base. The cover is configured to define a hole that cooperates with the post to couple the cover to the base to form a housing of the module. The base is further configured to define the clamp which is coupled to the wall by a hinge. The clamp is operable between an open position where the hole can be placed around the post and a closed position where the clamp retains the hole around the post.

Abstract: A HVAC module is provided having a non-load bearing module housing defined by a preformed sheet of material folded onto an internal support structure. The internal support structure includes a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, and at least one rigid cross-member interconnecting the heat exchangers. An air valve module may be fixably connected to both the heat exchangers for increased torsional rigidity of the internal support structure. The preformed sheet of material includes a plurality of contoured panels configured in a predetermined pattern, wherein the contoured panels are folded along adjacent edges and cooperate with the internal support structure to define the module housing having an inlet, an outlet, air passageways, and mixing chambers. The internal support structure may include indexing features to locate and fix the contoured panels of the preformed sheet into predetermined positions.
