Claims5
An air conditioning system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a cooling module including a cooling duct, a cooling-side inlet formed at a first side of the cooling duct, a cooling-side indoor outlet and a cooling-side outdoor outlet formed at a second side of the cooling duct, and a plurality of evaporation cores disposed in the cooling duct,
- a heating module including a heating duct, a heating-side inlet formed at a first side of the heating duct, a heating-side indoor outlet and a heating-side outdoor outlet formed at a second side of the heating duct, and a plurality of condensers disposed in the heating duct;
- a cooling blower disposed in the cooling duct to supply air passing through the cooling duct and a heating blower disposed in the heating duct to supply air passing through the heating duct;
- wherein the evaporation cores include a first evaporation core disposed adjacently to the cooling-side inlet and a second evaporation core disposed adjacently to the cooling-side outdoor outlet, and the condensers include a first condenser disposed adjacently to the heating-side inlet and a second condenser disposed adjacently to the heating-side outdoor outlet;
- a channel adjusting door disposed between the first evaporation core and the second evaporation core of the cooling duct and between the first condenser and the second condenser of the heating duct to allow the cooling duct and the heating duct to be in communication with each other;
- and
- a controller configured to operate the channel adjusting door, wherein the controller is configured to operate the channel adjusting door during an operation of the air conditioning system for the vehicle in a cooling mode to supply some of the air passing through the first evaporation core to the heating duct and is configured to open the channel adjusting door toward the heating duct during an operation of the air conditioning system for the vehicle in a heating mode to supply some of the air passing through the first condenser to the cooling duct,
- wherein the plurality of condensers and the plurality of evaporation cores are connected onto a refrigerant channel.
