An air-handling system includes an evaporator core and a downstream arranged heater core disposed in an air-handling casing. A primary flow path is formed within the air-handling casing and leads to a primary zone of a passenger compartment. The primary flow path is divided into a primary cool air pathway bypassing the heater core and a primary warm air pathway passing through the heater core. A secondary flow path is formed within the air-handling casing and leads to a secondary zone of the passenger compartment. The secondary flow path includes a secondary cool air pathway branching from the primary flow path downstream of the evaporator core and a secondary warm air pathway branching from the primary flow path downstream of the heater core. The secondary cool air pathway bypasses the heater core and the secondary warm air pathway passes through the heater core.

An HVAC assembly for a vehicle. The HVAC assembly has an HVAC case with a rear blower and an evaporator. A rear blower scroll directs airflow generated by the rear blower to a lower portion of the evaporator. An airflow conduit is configured to direct airflow generated by a front blower to an upper portion of the evaporator. An airflow divider separates airflow generated by the rear blower from airflow generated by the front blower. The airflow divider divides the HVAC case into an upper area above the divider and a lower area below the divider. A defrost outlet and a front face outlet are at the upper area of the HVAC case above the divider. A front foot outlet and a rear airflow outlet are at the lower area of the HVAC case below the divider.

The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle, which includes a cold air passageway and a warm air passageway, and two blowers disposed in the air passageways, thereby rapidly ventilating the interior of the vehicle using the two blowers.

A vehicle air conditioner, wherein an air conditioner of an integrated heat pump system enables the improvement of cold air and warm air mixing characteristics so as to decrease left-right temperature differences, enables the implementation of independent left-right air conditioning, and enables the sufficient securement of an interior space of the vehicle.

Disclosed is a vehicle air conditioning device, which is an air conditioning device using an integrated heat pump system, and in which left and right independent air conditionings can be implemented in a simple structure such that the left and right air volumes may be automatically controlled, the ability to mix hot and cold air is improved, and sufficient space can be secured inside a vehicle.

A blower includes an air introduction box, a casing, an impeller, a filter medium, a frame body, a first partition plate and a second partition plate. The filter medium captures a foreign matter contained in a first air and a second air flowing from the air introduction box to the impeller. The frame body houses the filter medium and is installed in a filter installation portion upstream of the impeller. The first partition plate is fixed to the frame body and divides a space upstream of the filter medium into a plurality of regions. The second partition plate is fixed to the frame body and divides a space downstream of the filter medium into a plurality of regions. The filter medium is interposed between the first partition plate and the second partition plate.

A blower includes an introduction duct provided in an air introduction box. A filter is provided downstream of the introduction duct and upstream of an impeller. A separation cylinder is formed in a cylindrical shape and is provided in the impeller. An inner wall of an air inlet portion of the separation cylinder is provided not overlap with an inner wall of an air outlet portion of the introduction duct over the entire circumference.

An air-conditioning unit for a vehicle includes an air conditioning case, a blower, and a rectifying mechanism. The blower has a blower fan rotating around a fan axis and arranged in an in-case passage of the air conditioning case, and blows out air drawn from one side in an axial direction of the fan axis by rotation of the blower fan. The rectifying mechanism is arranged downstream of the blower fan in the in-case passage, and the air passes through the rectifying mechanism. The blower fan is arranged so that the other side of the fan axis that is opposite to the one side extends toward a downstream side of the in-case passage. The rectifying mechanism suppresses a swirling flow generated by the rotation of the blower fan in the air blown out from the blower fan as compared with the blown-out air prior to flowing into the rectifying mechanism.

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.

A blower includes a fluid introducing box, a fan, a casing, a tubular portion disposed inside the fan to introduce a first fluid and a second fluid separately into the fan, and an upper end portion defining an inlet into the tubular portion. The casing has a suction port forming portion defining a suction port. The upper end portion is disposed between the suction port forming portion and the fluid introducing box. A gap passage is defined between the upper end portion and the suction port forming portion. At least one of the first fluid or the second fluid is introduced into the gap passage from a passage inlet and fluids through the gap passage toward a downstream portion. A distance between the upper end portion and the suction port forming portion in the axial direction at the downstream portion is less than that at the passage inlet.
