  • Patent number: 9919576
    Abstract: An air conditioner for a vehicle and a method of controlling the air conditioner to variably control a position of a rear seat cold air control door depending on a position of a front seat temperature-adjusting door. The position of the rear seat cold air control door is controlled according to rear seat air-conditioning modes (rear seat temperature-adjusting modes). In an air-conditioning case, the rear seat cold air control door is mounted on a rear seat air passageway, thereby distributing an optimal volume of cold air to the front seat air passageway and the rear seat air passageway by preventing a large volume of cold air from being supplied to the rear seat air passageway in the rear seat temperature-adjusting mode, securing linearity of temperature discharged to the rear seat.

  • Publication number: 20160152110
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are an air conditioner for a vehicle and a controlling method thereof which can variably control a position of a rear seat cold air control door depending on a position of a front seat temperature-adjusting door when the position of the rear seat cold air control door is controlled according to rear seat air-conditioning modes (rear seat temperature-adjusting modes) in an air-conditioning case in which the rear seat cold air control door is mounted on a rear seat air passageway, thereby distributing an optimal cold air volume to the front seat air passageway and the rear seat air passageway by preventing that a large volume of cold air is supplied to the rear seat air passageway in the rear seat temperature-adjusting mode, removing dissatisfaction in control of rear seat temperature, and securing linearity of temperature discharged to the rear seat to enhance passengers' comfort.

  • Patent number: 9248719
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual zone type air conditioner for vehicles, which includes two air volume controlling doors mounted on an air inflow port of an air-conditioning case where the cross section of an air passageway is uniform and a flow of air is relatively uniform, a sealing wall mounted between the air volume controlling doors, and a controlling part mounted for selecting a more air volume side as a level of a blower when an air volume set by a driver and an air volume set by a passenger are different from each other and controlling the air volume controlling doors to supply the set air volumes to a driver's seat side and a passenger's seat side.
