Abstract
An air conditioner suited for use in an automotive vehicle has a plurality of emission modes in which appropriately regulated air is directed to a plurality of locations on the front side of a passenger compartment defined in the automotive vehicle. The air conditioner includes a blower unit for introducing external air into the passenger compartment or circulating internal air and an air chamber formed on the downstream side of the blower unit in the direction of air flow. A rear duct is branched and extends rearwardly from the air chamber so that air from the blower unit may be fed to a rear portion of the passenger compartment through the rear duct. A damper or a blower is mounted in the rear duct to restrict the air volume to be fed to the rear portion of the passenger compartment when the temperature of external air is less than a given value.
