Abstract

In a vehicle air conditioner with a rotary door, an air vent is opened in side end plates of the rotary door in an axial direction, and a communication port communicating with the air vent is opened in a side surface of a heater case opposite to the side plates of the rotary door. Further, a side face air passage communicating with the communication port of the heater case and a side face air outlet of a passenger compartment is provided outside the heater case. Thus, a part of conditioned air flows into a main air passage in the heater case through an opening of the rotary door, while a part of conditioned air flows into the side face air passage through the air vent of the rotary door and the communication port of the heater case. As a result, in the vehicle air conditioner, it is possible to always open the side face air outlet in each air outlet mode, without reducing an air amount blown into the passenger compartment.
