ABSTRACT:
An air conditioning system for a vehicle passenger compartment comprises a first duct unit including at least one inlet opening and a blower device, and a second duct unit fluidly connected to the first duct unit. The second duct unit includes an evaporator and a heater core, and further includes a damper mechanism and a plurality of outlet openings. An evaporator is disposed forward of the heater core in the second duct unit and forms a part of an air-conditioning circuit. The heater core is disposed rearward of the evaporator and partially covers the second duct unit. The damper mechanism is disposed rearward of the evaporator and controls the amount of air passing through the evaporator and the heater core and introduced to the outlet openings.
The resulting air conditioning system is compact in size and lightweight while simultaneously providing superior air conditioning performance.
