Abstract
A blower means is provided by a cross flow fan 4 in which a plurality of axially extending blades 13 are arranged in rows in a circumferential direction and connected axially with connecting plates 14 interposed therebetween. The cross flow fan 4 is positioned generally horizontal in a widthwise direction of the vehicle. A heat exchanger 2 is disposed on the suction side of the cross flow fan 4 and in the front-and-rear direction of the vehicle, while an air inlet port 6 and an air blowoff port 7 of a casing 1 are opened to the rear parcel panel P. The casing 1 is vertically divided into an upper casing 1a and a lower casing 1b by a plane containing a rotating shaft 5 of the cross flow fan 4. An air passage from the air inlet port 6 to the air blowoff port 7 of the casing 1 is formed into a generally U-shape.
