A ventilation device for a cabin of a vehicle, the ventilation device includes a temperature-control circuit in which a fluid circulates for heat transfer; an ambient heat exchanger via which heat is exchanged between the temperature-control circuit and a cabin environment; a cabin heat exchanger via which heat is exchanged between the temperature-control circuit and an air flow provided for ventilating the cabin; one or more liquid channels connecting the ambient heat exchanger to the cabin heat exchanger; an air supply system for directing air to the cabin heat exchanger to supply the passengers in the cabin, and an air conveyor device for conveying supply air; and a distance between the air conveyor device and the passenger is greater than a distance between the cabin heat exchanger and the passenger.

An intake system of an engine mounted on a vehicle where a cabin is air-conditioned by an air conditioner, is provided. A heat exchanger of an evaporator of the air conditioner is divided into a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger that are mutually independent, and an air passage includes a first division passage and a second division passage. The intake system cools intake air utilizing a part of the air conditioner, and includes a connecting passage that guides first air cooled by passing through the first heat exchanger, a passage switch, and a controller. When the controller determines that a cooling demand for the intake air exists, it controls the first air to flow into an intake passage through the connecting passage, and when the controller determines that there is no cooling demand, it controls the first air to flow into the first division passage.

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.

The invention relates to a ventilation device for a vehicle ventilation, heating and/or air-conditioning system, including at least one housing that includes at least one wall defining an inner volume in which at least one radial propeller capable of being rotated and at least one guide member are received, the radial propeller and the guide member being configured to generate an air flow having a general direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the radial propeller between an air inlet of the radial propeller and an air outlet formed in the wall of the housing of the ventilation device, at least a part of the wall of the housing being configured to straighten the air flow at the outlet of the radial propeller. The guide member is configured to direct the air flow towards the axis of rotation of the radial propeller.

Disclosed herein is an air conditioner for a vehicle, which can prevent reduction of an air volume by reducing a back-and-forth width of the vehicle and sufficiently securing the degree of opening of a warm air bypass door, and control an efficient linkage between the warm air bypass door and a defrost door.
