Abstract

To provide an air conditioner for a vehicle includes an evaporator, a heater core, an air conditioning passage, an inside air introduction passage, an outside air introduction passage, and a heat pipe. In the air conditioning passage, a ventilation portion of the heater core is disposed downstream from a ventilation portion of the evaporator. Through the heat pipe, heat is transferred from a high temperature portion on the inside air introduction passage side to a low temperature portion on the outside air introduction passage side due to evaporation and condensation of a refrigerant. The heat pipe is provided in the evaporator to straddle a position facing the inside air introduction passage and a position facing the outside air introduction passage.
