Abstract: The present invention relates to a center mounting type air conditioner for a vehicle, which can reduce size and noise of a blower, and enhance installation efficiency and reduce an installation space of the air conditioner installed in the vehicle. At least one bypass passageway is formed in a dead space located between the scroll case and the air conditioning case, whereby some of air sucked from the intake duct is bypassed and sucked toward the second wheel of the dual blower wheel, to which the motor is connected.

Abstract: This invention relates to an expansion valve, which has rectangular flow channels for assembling inlet and outlet pipes of an evaporator with an inlet pipe of a compressor and an outlet pipe of a condenser at an approximate right angle, and a guide part formed on the flow channel, thereby improving a mounting efficiency and reducing flow resistance and noise, and the expansion valve includes a body having at least one or more flow channels, each of which has inlets and outlets whose central lines are at a right angle to each other, and a guide part formed between the inlet and the outlet; a head part mounted on the body and reciprocating a rod in an axial direction by expansion and contraction actions according to a temperature change of the working fluid discharged from an outlet of an evaporator and flowing through the flow channel; and opening means for controlling a flow amount of the working fluid flowing through the flow channel according to the movement of the rod.
