Claims14
An air conditioner for a vehicle comprising a first air passageway and a second air passageway, a heating heat exchanger disposed in one among the first air passageway and the second air passageway and a cooling heat exchanger disposed in the other one among the first air passageway and the second air passageway,
- wherein the air conditioner is divided into a zone where some of the air passing in the first air passageway and some of the air passing in the second air passageway are mixed together and a zone where the rest of the air passing in the first air passageway and the rest of the air passing in the second air passageway are mixed together,
- wherein the first air passageway and the second air passageway are divided into an upper passageway and a lower passageway by a separator,
- wherein the separator includes a first inclined part for guiding the air of the lower passageway to one among the right side and the left side which is the width direction of the vehicle, and a second inclined part for guiding the air of the upper passageway to the other one among the right side and the left side,
- wherein the first inclined part and the second inclined part are formed to be inclined in the width direction of the vehicle as well as in a back-and-forth direction of the vehicle, so that the cold air and the warm air flowing in the upper passageway are mixed together in a first mixing zone, and the cold air and the warm air flowing in the lower passageway are mixed together in a second mixing zone, and
- wherein air flows of the first air passageway and the second air passageway passing the cooling heat exchanger and the heating heat exchanger are formed in a horizontal direction.
