Patent ID: 11787264

Abstract:
Disclosed is an air conditioner for a vehicle, the air conditioner having an improved guide structure capable of increasing an air volume by preventing a collision between air flowing through an upper passage and air flowing through a lower passage. The air conditioner for a vehicle comprises: an air conditioning case having an air passage formed therein and an air outlet which includes a defrost vent and a face vent; and a heat exchanger for cooling and a heat exchanger for heating, which are provided in the air passage of the air conditioning case. The air conditioner for the vehicle further comprises: a temperature door arranged between the heat exchanger for cooling and the heat exchanger for heating in order to adjust the degree to which cold air, which has passed through the heat exchanger for cooling, is heated by the heat exchanger for heating; a cold air passage through which cold air that has passed through the heat exchanger for cooling bypasses the heat exchanger for heating; a warm air passage through which cold air that has passed through the heat exchanger for cooling passes through the heat exchanger for heating; a cold air guide unit for guiding the cold air downstream of the heat exchanger for cooling; and a warm air guide unit for guiding the warm air downstream of the heat exchanger for heating.
