The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle, which can remarkably improve resistance against an air flow in an air passageway, thereby enhancing efficiency. The air conditioner for a vehicle includes: a case having an air inlet, an air outlet, and an air passageway formed therein; a blower unit for blowing air to the air inlet; and a cooling means and a heating means disposed in the air passageway of the case in an air flow direction in order, wherein the air outlet of the case includes a floor outlet and vent outlets, the floor outlet and the vent outlets are arranged below the heating means in a height direction, and the floor outlet is arranged within a range of the width of the heating means.

A vehicle air conditioning device includes a case, disposed inside a vehicle cabin separated from a forward compartment by a dash panel, in which an internal space (11a) is formed, a heater core that is disposed in the internal space, a hot water supply pipe that can supply hot water to the heater core, a hot water collecting pipe that can collect hot water that has passed through an interior of the heater core, and a holder member that holds the hot water pipes. The holder member includes a first holding portion that comes into contact with the hot water pipes, and a second holding portion that opposes the first holding portion, is provided across a gap, and comes into contact with the hot water pipes.

An arrangement for sealing functional unit interfaces includes a functional unit, an interface, and a sealing element. The interface has a first main surface, a second main surface, and an opening. The second main surface has a clamping section enclosing the opening. The functional unit has a front face with a counter-clamping section opposite the clamping section. The sealing element has a sealing body and a support element at least partially arranged within the sealing body. The sealing body has a first section clamped between the clamping section and the counter-clamping section. The opening is closed by a second section of sealing body, which is at least partially arranged between the opening and the front face. The support element is partially arranged in the first section and partially in the second section of the sealing body. The support element and the sealing body consist of different materials.

A casing unit includes a first casing, and a second casing configured to be combined with the first casing from a first direction. The first casing includes a first casing main body and a protrusion. The second casing includes a second casing main body provided with an accommodating groove into which the protrusion is to be accommodated. Any one of the protrusion and the second casing main body is provided with a guiding part that relatively moves the first casing and the second casing in a second direction, in response to combining the first casing and the second casing. The second casing further includes an overlapping part that overlaps with the first casing main body in the first direction in a combined state, and that is elastically deformable in response to relative movement of the first casing and the second casing in the second direction.

A pressure relief assembly includes a pressure relief device including a housing that defines at least one air passage chamber, and at least one flap secured within the air passage chamber(s). The pressure relief device is configured to securely couple to a component. A cover is secured to the pressure relief device. At least one impact-absorbing bumper is disposed between the pressure relief device and the cover. The impact-absorbing bumper(s) is configured to dampen impact energy and undesirable noise.

A heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning device for a motor vehicle, including a first device component (10) which has a latching receptacle (12) with a receiving opening (14) for inserting a rigid latching tongue of a second device component which extends substantially along a mounting axis (24), wherein a first peripheral portion (16) of the receiving opening (14) is formed by a wall portion of the first device component (10) and wherein a second peripheral portion (18) of the receiving opening (14) that is opposite to the first peripheral portion (16) is designed to be substantially flexurally stiff, and third and fourth peripheral portions (20,22) which are situated peripherally between the first peripheral portion (16) and the second peripheral portion (18) are designed as a bending portions.

A blower unit of an air conditioner for a vehicle which allows one actuator to drive two doors in a structure in which at least two doors are provided in an intake duct is disclosed. The blower unit of an air conditioner for a vehicle includes an intake duct including an internal air inlet through which internal air is introduced and an external air inlet through which external air is introduced, a first door configured to adjust an opening amount of a part of the external air inlet and an opening amount of the internal air inlet, and a second door configured to adjust an opening amount of the remaining part of the external air inlet, wherein the first door and the second door are linked and driven together.

A fastening system includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector has a protrusion, a first clip, and a first catch. The first clip and the first catch are offset from the protrusion. The second connector defines a slot, has a second clip, and has a second catch. The second clip and the second catch are offset from the slot. The slot is configured to receive the protrusion upon engagement between the first connector and the second connector. The first clip is biased into engagement with the second catch and the second clip is biased into engagement with the first catch upon engagement between the first connector and the second connector to secure the first connector to the second connector.

A seal assembly of an air handling system includes a housing formed by a first housing portion coupled to a second housing portion. The first housing portion has a plurality of ribs formed in a waffle pattern. The housing receives a portion of the fluid conduits. A seal engages an outer surface of the housing and receives the fluid conduits.
