In a vehicle air conditioner, a first air passage through which outside air flows and a second air passage through which inside air flows are provided to be partitioned from each other, so that outside air in the first air passage is blown toward a front seat side of a passenger compartment from a front air outlet after passing through a first part of a heat exchanger, and inside air in the second air passage is blown toward a rear seat side of the passenger compartment from a rear air outlet after passing through a second part of the heat exchanger, during a double layer flow mode. Thus, in the second air passage, temperature of air sucked from an inside air port can be set to temperature of inside air inside the passenger compartment, while air pressure loss due to an inside air suction is decreased. As a result, in the vehicle air conditioner, air-conditioning capacity for the rear seat side is improved.

[ What is claimed is:] [13.]13. An air conditioner for a vehicle having a passenger compartment, said air conditioner comprising:a case for defining an air passage through which air flows into the passenger compartment, said case having a front air opening for blowing air toward a front seat side of the passenger compartment and a rear air opening for blowing air toward a rear seat side of the passenger compartment, said front air opening including at least a defroster opening for blowing air toward an inner surface of a windshield of the vehicle;a blower unit for blowing inside air inside the passenger compartment and outside air outside the passenger compartment to partition inside air and outside air from each other;a partition member for partitioning said air passage into a first air passage through which outside air flows by said blower unit, and a second air passage through which inside air flows by said blower unit;a heating heat exchanger for heating air flowing through said first air passage and said second air passage;a cooling heat exchanger disposed at an upstream air side of said heating heat exchanger, for cooling air passing through said first air passage and said second air passage, said cooling heat exchanger being disposed in said case to form a first bypass passage through which air flowing through said second air passage bypasses said cooling heat exchanger; anda bypass door for opening and closing said first bypass passage,wherein said partition member is disposed in such a manner that outside air in said first air passage flows into said front air opening and inside air in said second air passage flows into said rear air opening while partitioning said rear air opening and said front air opening, during a double layer flow mode;said front air opening further includes a front foot opening for blowing air toward a front lower side of the passenger compartment;said rear air opening includes a rear foot opening for blowing air toward a rear lower side of the passenger compartment; andsaid bypass door opens said first bypass opening, during a foot mode in which air is blown from said front foot opening and said rear foot opening.
