A rear face inletand a foot inlet, and a rear face duct portionand a foot duct portionwhich are adapted to distribute air from the inlets, respectively, are disposed in alignment with each other in a transverse direction of a vehicle. As a result, a conventional overlapping portion where the rear face inlet and the foot inlet are made to overlap each other vertically somewhere along the length of each of the inlets in a transverse direction of the vehicle and a conventional overlapping portion where the rear face duct and the rear foot duct are disposed in such a manner as to overlap each other in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle somewhere along the length of a downwardly extending portion of each of the ducts can be eliminated, whereby the air conditioning unit can be constructed so as to be decreased in size vertically and longitudinally.

Automotive air conditioning system

In a core portion of the receiver-integrated condenser, a condensing portion is disposed at an upper side of a super-cooling portion. A receiving unit is disposed at one end side of the core portion in a width direction, and refrigerant is U-turned in a refrigerant passage of the super-cooling portion at the other end side of the core portion in the width direction. In addition, a refrigerant outlet of the super-cooling portion is provided at the one end side of the core portion, a connector connected to the refrigerant outlet is disposed at a direct lower side of the refrigerant outlet, and the connector has a bottom surface used as a connecting surface connected with a pipe connector of a refrigerant pipe.

Receiver-integrated condenser for a vehicle

In a vehicle air conditioner having manually operated operation members of an air-conditioning operation panel, rotation shafts of an air mixing door and a mode switching rotary door are disposed in a vehicle front-rear direction, so that an axial direction of the rotation shafts of the doors is made the same as that of rotation shafts of the operation members of the air-conditioning operation panel. Accordingly, operation force of the operation members can be directly transmitted to the rotation shafts of the doors by a simple structure.

Vehicle air conditioner with manually operated operation member

In a vehicle air conditioner, an air conditioning case has a center face opening through which air is blown toward a center upper side of a passenger compartment in a vehicle right-left direction, a side face opening through which air is blown toward a side upper side of the passenger compartment, and a defroster opening through which air is blown toward a front windshield of the vehicle. The side face opening is provided between the center face opening and the defroster opening in an arrangement direction of the center face opening and the defroster opening within a width dimension of the center face opening in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction. Thus, a dimension of the air conditioning case in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction becomes smaller, while operation force of a door for opening and closing the center face opening is reduced.
