A fan is provided behind the heat exchange portion such that a center thereof is closer to the condenser than to the FC radiator. In addition, a fan shroud is provided, in which plural ram pressure holes are formed in a portion which covers the FC radiator.

Abstract: Air for cooling a battery is supplied to the battery from a rear unit through a duct. In this way, the temperature of the air blown to the battery can be reduced in comparison to a case where inside air is taken from a passenger compartment and is supplied to the battery for cooling the battery. Thus, the battery can be sufficiently cooled, so that the amount of air flow supplied to the battery needs not be increased to achieve enough cooling capacity for cooling the battery. As a result, air blowing noises can be reduced, and a reduction in a service life of a second blower can be restrained. Furthermore, since sufficient cooling capacity is achieved, there is no need to increase a radiating surface area of the battery. Thus, an increase in a size of the battery and an increase in a manufacturing cost can be restrained.

Abstract: When an after-evaporation temperature TE remains below the wet-bulb temperature Twet, the compressor 231 is intermittently operated for a predetermined time after the elapse of a first time To from compressor 231 stopping. On the other hand, when the after-evaporation temperature TE is higher than the wet-bulb temperature Twet, the intermittent operation mode stops. This reduces dispersion of offensive smells from the evaporator.

Abstract: According to the present invention, an air conditioning apparatus include a case partitioned into a first air passage and a second air passage by partition plates (16-19), a heat exchanger such as a heater core. The heater exchanger is sandwiched between the partition plates. Further, the heat exchanger is formed by laminating tubes and a fin while the fin is disposed in each main air passage formed between tube walls of the tubes. Each end of the partition plates is opposite to each end of the tubes so that the partition plates are parallel to the tubes. In this way, airflows which respectively have passed from the air first and second passages pass through the heat exchanger without being mixed with each other therein. As a result, the separation characteristics of airflows can be improved.

Abstract: An electric element (Peltier element composite) is disposed in a boundary between an outside air introduction passage and an inside air introduction air passage (114). The Peltier element composite absorbs heat from the inside air in the inside air introduction passage to cool and dehumidify the inside air and radiates heat to outside air in the outside air introduction passage. The inside air and outside air are blown out from a defroster air outlet through a second air passage. In this way, it is possible to increase an amount of introduced inside air and to improve the heating performance while maintaining the defrosting performance.

Abstract: A condenser has an outlet side region close to an outlet for discharging refrigerant from the condenser. The outlet side region does not face auxiliary radiator, which is disposed on a cooling air upstream side of the condenser. Accordingly, low temperature cooling air that does not pass through the auxiliary radiator can flow into the outlet side region of the condenser in which the refrigerant is lowered most. As a result, a difference in temperature between the refrigerant and the cooling air at the outlet side region becomes large. This prevents deterioration of cooling capacity of the condenser.

Abstract: According to the present invention, even when the two-layer mode in which the inside air is introduced into a first air passage and the outside air is introduced into a second air passage is set, it is further determined whether air mix doors are controlled at the maximum hot positions. When it has been determined that the air mix doors are controlled at the maximum hot positions, the inside/outside air introduction mode is still set to the two-layer mode, because the temperature difference due to the outside air temperature is small, however, otherwise, the inside/outside air introduction mode is not set to the two-layer mode but is set to a mode in which the outside air is introduced into the both air passages. In this way, it is possible to prevent the difference between the temperatures of the air blown out from a defroster opening portion and a foot opening portion from being increased due to the temperature of the outside air.

Abstract: A blower unit includes a centrifugal fan, a fan casing forming a scroll-shaped air passage and accommodating the centrifugal fan, and a partition wall for partitioning an interior of the fan casing into first and second air passages in which different kinds of airs flow, respectively, in the axial direction. The partition wall is molded integrally to the fan casing so as to extend linearly from the inner wall surface of the fan casing toward a radial inside of the fan. The fan casing includes two divided cases having a divided face in the axial direction. In this way, the number of divided cases can be as well as the number of steps of assembling the fan casing can be reduced so that the work efficiency for assembling the fan casing is improved.
