An air conditioner has an air conditioning case, a heat exchanger disposed in the air conditioning case to cool air therein, a drain pan disposed at a lower side of the heat exchanger to receive condensed water and the like, and a partition wall which is disposed between a lower surface of the heat exchanger and the drain pan to separate an air upstream side from an air downstream side in the air conditioning case. The drain pan has a drain hole, through which condensed water is discharged. An end portion of the partition wall intersects the drain hole and partitions the drain hole into the air upstream side and the air downstream side.

Air conditioner

A vehicle air-conditioning system improves a passenger's sensation of cooling by preventing air blown from a foot opening when a cooling load is low, creating a comfortable temperature distribution along the passenger's body. The vehicle air-conditioning system automatically selects a face mode when a target air temperature (TAO) is between a first predetermined temperature and a second predetermined temperature, which is higher than the first predetermined temperature, a bi-level mode when the TAO is higher than the first predetermined temperature and an evaporator air temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature, or a face mode when the TAO is lower than the first predetermined temperature and the evaporator air temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature.
