Abstract:
An air-conditioning unit for a vehicle has a case, a blower, a cooling heat exchanger and a heating heat exchanger. The cooling heat exchanger is located upstream of the blower inside the case. The heating heat exchanger is located downstream of the blower inside the case. The ventilation passage includes a before-heating passage extending from an air discharge port of the blower toward an air inlet of the heating heat exchanger. The before-heating passage includes, as a part of the before-heating passage, a flow-changing path that is curved to change a flow direction of the air discharged from the blower.

Claim (Index 1):
An air-conditioning unit for a vehicle, the air-conditioning unit configured to perform an air conditioning for a cabin of the vehicle, the air-conditioning unit comprising:\n a case that defines a ventilation passage therein through which air flows; a blower that is configured to cause a flow of air flowing in the case toward the cabin, the blower including a rotary shaft; a cooling heat exchanger that is located upstream of the blower in the case and is configured to cool the air; and a heating heat exchanger that is located downstream of the blower in the case and is configured to heat the air, wherein the ventilation passage includes a before-heating passage extending from an air discharge port of the blower toward an air inlet of the heating heat exchanger, the before-heating passage includes, as at least a part of the before-heating passage, a flow-changing path that is curved to change a flow direction of the air discharged from the blower, and the cooling heat exchanger and the heating heat exchanger are arranged to overlap with each other along an axial direction of the rotary shaft.
