Abstract
An air conditioning unit for a vehicle includes: an air conditioning case defining an in-case passage in which air flows to a vehicle interior; a cooler arranged in the air conditioning case and configured to cool the air flowing in the in-case passage; a blower that includes a blower motor and an impeller configured to be rotated by the blower motor and generate an air flow in the in-case passage; and a cooling passage portion defining a motor cooling passage in which air flows to cool the blower motor. The blower is arranged downstream of the cooler with respect to the air flow in the air conditioning case. The motor cooling passage includes a passage inlet located downstream of the impeller with respect to the air flow in the in-case passage, and a passage outlet located upstream of the impeller with respect to the air flow in the in-case passage.
