Abstract
The present invention relates to a vehicle air conditioner, and more particularly, to a vehicle air conditioner having a photocatalyst module, which provides an optimal design location or a mounting structure in which the photocatalyst module is mounted on an upper surface of a duct, the upper surface of the duct has a predetermined inclination with respect to a floor surface, and the photocatalyst module is mounted on a left/right independent air conditioner.
Claims15
A vehicle air conditioner comprising:
- a duct configured to connect a blower unit, which introduces inside air and outside air, and an air conditioning unit, which exchanges heat with the introduced inside and outside air, so that the air flows between the blower unit and the air conditioning unit;
- and
- a photocatalyst module comprising a module casing, a body disposed at a lower side in the module casing and having a light source therein, and a carrier disposed below the body and configured to generate superoxide radicals by generating a photocatalytic reaction by using light emitted from the light source,
- wherein the duct has a photocatalyst module mounting part having a hollow shape therein so that the carrier of the photocatalyst module passes through the photocatalyst module mounting part, and
- wherein the photocatalyst module mounting part is provided on an upper outer wall of the duct.
