Abstract
A vehicle HVAC system comprises an evaporator, a heater core, a variable airflow control device, and a baffle positioned downstream of the evaporator. The baffle has a geometrical configuration, e.g., apertures sufficient to prevent the formation of vortex like airflow patterns near the downstream side of the baffle when the HVAC system is in use.
