ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, in an automotive air conditioner system, a link mechanism is provided by using a cool air passage provided in parallel with a warm air passage and a cool air/heated air mixing chamber provided at a downstream side of the warm air passage and the cool air passage. The clearance between a sliding door and a cooler can be set to a minimum distance as required. Further, it is not necessary to ensure a space for installing the link mechanism outside the case of the air conditioner. As a result, the size of the air conditioning unit including the sliding door can be effectively reduced.
