Air conditioner for vehicle

An air conditioner for a vehicle comprising:

• an evaporator configured to cool conditioned air;
• a heater core configured to heat conditioned air;
• an air conditioning passage in which a ventilation portion of the heater core is disposed downstream from a ventilation portion of the evaporator and conditioned air blown into a cabin is generated;
• an inside air introduction passage which is connected to an upstream side of the ventilation portion of the evaporator of the air conditioning passage and through which air in the cabin is introduced to the ventilation portion of the evaporator;
• an outside air introduction passage which is connected to an upstream side of the ventilation portion of the evaporator of the air conditioning passage in parallel with the inside air introduction passage and through which air outside the vehicle is introduced to the ventilation portion of the evaporator;
• and
• a heat pipe through which heat is transferred from a high temperature portion to a low temperature portion due to evaporation and condensation of a refrigerant,
• wherein the heat pipe is provided in the evaporator to straddle a position facing the inside air introduction passage and a position facing the outside air introduction passage.
