Abstract: To provide a vehicle air-conditioning unit that increases a volume of airflow delivered from a side vent opening in a foot mode, to effectively prevent fogging of windowpanes on right and left end sides. An air passage has: a first passage that guides hot air to a center vent opening, a side vent opening, and a defrost opening; and a second passage that is branched from the first passage and guides the hot air to a foot opening. A first door is arranged at a branched position of the air passage to the second passage, and a second door is arranged between the center vent opening and the defrost opening.

Abstract: Provided is an air blowing unit for a vehicle which, even when a backflow prevention means which prevents the flow of air which flows back through a gap formed between a bottom surface of an impeller and an upper surface of a motor flange is adopted, optimally maintains a size of the gap thus suppressing noises and the collection of moisture and, can suitably boost a pressure of air in a scroll case portion. With respect to a case of an air blowing unit, a projecting portion is formed in a projecting manner on an inner side of a second wall portion on a side opposite to a first wall portion where an air suction port is formed as an air backflow prevention means. The projecting portion is positioned outside an impeller in the radial direction with a predetermined gap between a radial outer end of the impeller and the projecting portion.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a blower/evaporator housing case is provided for housing side-by-side a blower that is rotated by a motor and creates an air flow and an evaporator linked with coolant pipes through which a coolant flows in and out so as to completely prevent leakage of condensed water which collects at the evaporator of an automotive air-conditioning system and also to simplify the structure of a locking device used to lock an expansion valve at the evaporator. The blower/evaporator housing case is constituted of two recessed members, i.e., an upper recessed member and a lower recessed member, set on the two sides of a parting line extending along the horizontal direction. The locking device used to lock the expansion valve is formed at joint portions at the edges of the upper and lower recessed members constituting the blower/evaporator housing case.

Abstract: In constituting an air conditioner case by bonding a first case member having a cooling air intake chamber and a second case member that is not provided with a cooling air intake chamber, the cooling air intake chamber is formed in a direction that is perpendicular to an air intake port and a blower mounting hole, opening via an opening portion. A mounting plate provided with a regulator is mounted at the opening portion. Thus, since a partitioning wall and barrier walls defining the periphery of the cooling air intake chamber can be formed at the same time as the formation of the case main body of the first case member, it is not necessary to further divide the first case member.

Abstract: A heater core mounting structure 20 for mounting any one of multiple stacked-plate heater cores 3A of different thickness in a heater case 2 without modification of the heater case 2 comprises a spacer 21 provided with engagement portions 26 configured to engage end portions 5A of the heater core 3A. The heating core mounting structure 20 enables mounting of different sized heater cores 3A at low cost, prevents shift of the stacked plates 5 during mounting, and protects the stacked end portions 5A.
