1. A ventilation device, comprising:
a housing including a fluid channel system;
the fluid channel system including a cold channel for directing a cold fluid flow of a cold fluid, a hot channel for directing a hot fluid flow of a hot fluid, and a mixed channel for directing a mixed fluid flow of a mixed fluid provided from at least one of the cold fluid and the hot fluid;
a heat exchanger arranged within the fluid channel system such that a fluid is flushable around the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger configured to at least one of cool and heat at least one of the cold fluid, the hot fluid, and the mixed fluid;
a slider arrangement including at least one first slider arranged within the fluid channel system upstream of the heat exchanger and movable transversely with respect to at least one of the cold fluid flow, the hot fluid flow, and the mixed fluid flow;
the slider arrangement further including at least one second slider arranged within the fluid channel system downstream of the heat exchanger and movable transversely with respect to at least one of the cold fluid flow, the hot fluid flow, and the mixed fluid flow;
wherein the at least one first slider and the at least one second slider are respectively actuatable within a slider movement in a slider movement direction oriented transversely with respect to at least one of the cold fluid flow, the hot fluid flow, and the mixed fluid flow;
wherein at least one of a volume flow and a mass flow of at least one of the cold fluid flow, the hot fluid flow, and the mixed fluid flow is at least one of controllable and regulatable via actuation of the at least one first slider;
wherein at least one of a predetermined fluid temperature and a predeterminable fluid temperature of the mixed fluid is settable and at least two of the cold fluid, the hot fluid, and the mixed fluid are mixable via actuation of the at least one second slider;
wherein a slider of the at least one first slider and the at least one second slider is movably mounted relative to the fluid channel system via a guide arrangement arranged on the fluid channel system;
wherein the slider includes at least one longitudinal tooth row having a plurality of teeth lined up adjacent to one another; and
wherein at least one tooth of the plurality of teeth is disposed in contact with a longitudinal rib of the guide arrangement.
