Abstract

Disclosed herein is an air conditioner for a vehicle, which can prevent reduction of an air volume by reducing a back-and-forth width of the vehicle and sufficiently securing the degree of opening of a warm air bypass door, and control an efficient linkage between the warm air bypass door and a defrost door. The air conditioner includes: an air-conditioning case having an air passageway formed therein; a heat exchanger for cooling and a heat exchanger for heating which are disposed in the air passageway of the air-conditioning case to exchange heat with air passing the air passageway; a warm air bypass passageway for directly discharging the air passing the heat exchanger for heating to a front seat floor vent; and a warm air bypass door for adjusting the degree of opening of the warm air bypass passageway, wherein the warm air bypass door includes a rotary shaft and a plate, and the plate has a bent portion to have at least two sides.
