The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle, which can send air-conditioned air toward a rear seat of the vehicle in order to perform air-conditioning of a front seat of the vehicle and air-conditioning of a rear seat. The air conditioner includes an air passageway formed in an air-conditioning case, wherein the air passageway includes: a rear seat cold air passageway which is a passageway that the air passed through the heat exchanger for cooling bypasses the heat exchanger for heating and flows toward a rear seat of the vehicle; and a warm air passageway which is a passageway that the air passed through the heat exchanger for cooling passes through the heat exchanger for heating and flows toward a front seat or the rear seat of the vehicle. The air conditioner includes a rear seat temperature adjusting door for controlling an amount of air flowing from the warm air passageway to the rear seat air outlet and an amount of air flowing from the rear seat cold air passageway to the rear seat air outlet.

An air distribution arrangement for an air conditioning unit is provided. The air distribution arrangement includes a main body coupled to a housing of the air conditioning unit, and provided with a distribution chamber fluidically connected to at least one air transport conduit formed within the housing of the air conditioning unit, and a plurality of distribution pipes connected to the main body and configured to be connected to respective air outlets for distributing air within a cabin of a vehicle. Each of the distribution pipes is flexible and at least partially inflatable due to an air flow within it.

In an air conditioning case, a blower sucks air flowing out from first and second upstream side ventilation paths from one side in an axial direction of a fan axis by rotation of a blower fan and allows the sucked air to flow to first and second downstream side ventilation paths. An upstream side guide member is provided on one side in the axial direction with respect to the blower fan and guides the air to the blower fan. Further, the upstream side guide member has a twisted shape and guides the air to the blower fan along the twisted shape.

An air handling system of a vehicle includes a main housing interchangeable between a first configuration and a second configuration. The main housing has a primary portion configured to convey a cold air flow and a warm air flow therethrough. A secondary portion is interchangeable between a first plenum in the first configuration of the main housing and a second plenum in the second configuration of the main housing.

A vehicle air conditioner for supplementing and regulating the air volume discharged to front seats and rear seats through a door component that controls a passage, and enabling the length of a package in the direction of a heater core to be reduced. The vehicle air conditioner has an air passage comprising: a front seat air passage through which cold air or hot air is discharged toward the front seats of a vehicle; and a rear seat air passage through which cold air or hot air is discharged toward the rear seats of the vehicle, wherein the front seat air passage comprises a front seat cooling passage and a front seat heating passage, and the rear seat path comprises a rear seat cooling passage and a rear seat heating passage, and includes: a first mixing part in which the cold air of the front seat cooling passage and the hot air of the front seat heating passage are mixed; and a second mixing part in which the cold air of the rear seat cooling path and the hot air of the rear seat heating path are mixed.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) devices, HVAC systems, vehicles, and methods. An illustrative HVAC system includes a case configured to at least partially recirculate air within the case, a blower disposed in the case and configured to cause air to flow, a first heat exchanger disposed in the case and configured to heat the air, and a second heat exchanger disposed in the case and configured to exchange heat with the air.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) cases, HVAC systems, vehicles, and methods. In an illustrative embodiment, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a case, a blower disposed in the case and configured to cause air to flow, a first heat exchanger disposed in the case and configured to heat the air, and an ambient extractor port defined in the case and configured to discharge to an ambient environment exterior to a structure the air provided to the ambient extractor port.

An air-conditioning unit includes an air-conditioning case including an opening through which air flows, a cooler disposed in the air-conditioning case to cool air flowing to the opening, a heater disposed in the air-conditioning case to heat air flowing to the opening, and an adjusting member disposed to cover the opening and adjusting airflow passing through the opening. The adjusting member is produced separately from the air-conditioning case and includes a first region and a second region. The second region includes a high resistance member giving higher resistance to the airflow than the first region. The first region includes a low resistance member giving lower resistance to the airflow than the second region. The low resistance member is a partition dividing the first region into plural air passing parts through which air flows. The high resistance member is a plate member including a part to interfere the airflow.

An air conditioning system for a vehicle may include a refrigerant line through which a refrigerant circulates and an evaporator and a condenser are connected to each other; and a first core and a second core for indoor air conditioning, wherein the first core includes a first inlet and a first outlet through which a coolant passing through the evaporator is introduced and discharged, respectively, the second core includes a second inlet and a second outlet through which a coolant passing through the condenser is introduced and discharged, respectively, and the first core and the second core are connected to each other through a connection line, and the connection line is provided with a first valve selectively connecting the first core and the second core through the connection line.

A blower device includes a centrifugal fan that sucks air from one side of the blower device in an axial direction, and an air flow guide disposed between the centrifugal fan and the other side of the blower device in the axial direction. A first air flow from the centrifugal fan is bent toward the other side in the axial direction. A second air flow from the centrifugal fan is bent toward the other side in the axial direction, and then bent inward in the radial direction. A ratio of a pressure loss in the second air flow to a pressure loss in the first air flow before a downstream end of the air flow guide is smaller than a ratio of a pressure loss in the second air flow to a pressure loss in the first air flow before an upstream end of the air flow guide.
