Abstract: A vehicle air conditioner includes a compressor, a heating unit, an outside air heat exchanger, a wind speed regulation unit, and a controller. The controller includes a melting control unit, a dry control unit, and a dry completion determination unit. In a dry defrosting mode, the melting control unit performs melting-defrosting to melt frost adhering to the outside air heat exchanger. The dry control unit performs a dry defrosting in which at least one of the amount of heat in a predetermined range or a wind speed regulated in a predetermined range by the wind speed regulation unit is supplied to residual water adhering to the outside air heat exchanger, due to melting of frost in the melting-defrosting, to dry the residual water. The dry completion determination unit determines whether drying of the residual water in the outside air heat exchanger is completed, in the dry defrosting.
