An automotive air-conditioner unit which is thin and suitable for use as a rear seat unit is composed of a blower unit with a centrifugal fan and a scroll casing, heat-exchanges for cooling and heating, and conditioned air outlets, all contained in an air-conditioner case. A backward centrifugal fan having a large blade angle is used in combination with a scroll casing having a small scroll angle to obtain high fan efficiency in the compact air-conditioner unit. An outlet duct requiring a higher volume of conditioned air is positioned closer to a scroll-starting position of the scroll casing than another outlet duct requiring a less volume. An air passage in the air-conditioner case is formed along a surface perpendicular to a rotational axis of the fan to reduce a pressure loss in the passage.
