Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling an air conditioner for a vehicle, which includes a blower having a structure divided into a plurality of inlets and a plurality of outlets. The method may include: detecting or predicting, by a controller, one or more of an inside temperature of the vehicle, an outside temperature, a temperature of an engine serving as a heating source, an indoor humidity of the vehicle, CO2 concentration and rear seat passenger information; and comprehensively determining, by the controller, an outdoor state of the vehicle, an indoor state of the vehicle and a user's intention based on the detected or predicted information and a blower setting mode, and controlling an inlet door of the air conditioner according to one of a plurality of designated steps.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an air conditioner for a vehicle, which includes: an air-conditioning case (120) having an air passageway for connecting an air inflow port (127) and an air outflow port (128) with each other; an evaporator (130) and a heater core (140) mounted on the air passageway; a blower unit (110) disposed at the side of the air inflow port (127) to blow air to the inside of the air-conditioning case (120); and a separator (150) disposed at the upstream side of the evaporator (130) to divide air, which is introduced into an air inflow passageway (227) of the air-conditioning case (120), into the right and the left. The air conditioner further includes an assembly end portion (152) disposed at an end portion of one side of the separator (150) to be inserted and assembled on the air inflow passageway (227) of the air-conditioning case (120) by forced fitting.

Abstract: Disclosed therein is a dual zone type air conditioner for a vehicle, which includes: an air volume control door mounted between a blower and an evaporator for controlling the degree of opening of first and second passageways so as to control the volume of air blown to the inside of an air-conditioning case; and bypass passageways disposed in the air volume control door to supply a predetermined air volume to a closed passageway even though the air volume control door is at the location to close the first passageway or the second passageway, thereby preventing a sudden change in air volume by widening a control interval of the air volume control door because the first-stage air volume can be realized even though the air volume control door closes one of the air passageways, and reducing a whistle noise by securing a predetermined cross-sectional area of the air passageway through the bypass passageways even though the cross-sectional area of the air passageway gets narrower while the air volume control door cl

Abstract: An air conditioning system for motor vehicles includes an air conditioner case, a blower installed in the air conditioner case and configured to draw an air and blow the air into a vehicle room, and a control unit configured to limit an upper limit value of a temperature of the air blown toward the blower.

Abstract: An air conditioning system for motor vehicles includes an air conditioner case having a left path, a right path and a rear seat path. A temperature door is configured to adjust a volume of a cold air or a hot air. A main blower is configured to blow the cold air or the hot air and an air volume distribution door is configured to control opening degrees of the left path and the right path. A rear seat auxiliary blower is configured to increase a volume and a pressure of the cold air or the hot air flowing through the rear seat path. A control unit is configured to, when an air volume distribution ratio of the main blower is changed, correct an opening position of the air volume distribution door and compensate a change in an air volume distribution ratio of the left path and the right path.
