ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, a sliding door is positioned between the cooler and the heater and slidable in a direction crossing both the cool air passage and the warm air to control each amount of air flowing to the warm air passage and air flowing to the cool air passage, and the sliding door slides vertically in such a manner that an upper portion of the sliding door inclines toward the cooler. Since the sliding door slides itself in the vertical direction, with the upper portion of the sliding door inclined to the cooler, condensed water, which is likely to move with the blown air from the cooling unit to the air downstream side, can be smoothly guided downwardly with the air flow along the inclination of the sliding door, thus preventing the stench caused by mold and corrosion of the heater.
