    Abstract: An air conditioner for a vehicle includes a refrigeration cycle, a heating unit and a control unit. The refrigeration cycle includes an air-conditioning evaporator, a chilling evaporator, an air-conditioning side flow path, a detour flow path and an air-conditioning flow rate adjustment unit. The control unit includes a determination unit that determines whether a condensation condition is satisfied when a refrigerant is flowing through the chilling evaporator via the detour flow path in a state where an inflow of a refrigerant into the air-conditioning evaporator is prohibited. When the determination unit determines that the condensation condition is satisfied, the control unit controls the air-conditioning flow rate adjustment unit to allow an inflow of a refrigerant into the air-conditioning evaporator as a condensation suppression operation for suppressing condensation of a refrigerant in the air-conditioning evaporator.

    Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioner has a casing, a first heat exchanger, and a second heat exchanger. The casing forms an air passage through which air flows toward inside of a vehicle cabin. The first heat exchanger is housed in the casing and performs a sensible heat exchange between the air flowing in the air passage and a heating medium. The second heat exchanger is housed in the casing and performs a sensible heat exchange between the heating medium and air that has exchanged sensible heat in the first heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger respectively have a plurality of tubes through which the heating medium flows. A longitudinal direction of the plurality of tubes of the first heat exchanger and a longitudinal direction of the plurality of tubes of the second heat exchanger are the same direction as each other.

    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle device for a vehicle has a compressor, a first pump, a high-pressure side heat exchanger, a heating medium-outside air heat exchanger, and a controller. The compressor draws and discharges a refrigerant. The first pump draws and discharges a first heating medium. The high-pressure side heat exchanger heats the first heating medium by exchanging heat between a high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor and the first heating medium. The heating medium-outside air heat exchanger exchanges heat between the first heating medium and outside air. The controller controls operation of the compressor and the first pump. The controller activates the first pump when an activation request of the compressor is made. The controller activates the compressor, after activating the first pump, when it is determined or estimated that a temperature of the first heating medium is lower than or equal to a first predetermined value.

    Abstract: In a heat exchanger, a plate member of a tank portion includes a first fluid communication passage through which a first tank space communicates with first tubes, and a second fluid communication passage through which a second tank space communicates with second tubes. Either an upstream first tube group of the first tubes or a downstream first tube group of the first tubes, whichever is larger in a pressure loss of the first fluid, configures a higher pressure loss first tube group, and the other first tube group smaller in the pressure loss of the first fluid configures a lower pressure loss first tube group. A flow channel resistance between the higher pressure loss first tube group and the first tank space is smaller than a flow channel resistance between the lower pressure loss first tube group and the first tank space.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a refrigerant tube through which a refrigerant for absorbing heat from air flows, and a defrosting medium tube through which a coolant for supplying heat for defrosting flows. Two fins disposed on both sides of the refrigerant tube include a protrusion protruding toward an upstream side of the flow of air with respect to the refrigerant tube. The protrusion is provided with a clearance that allows melt water generated in the defrosting to flow on the upstream side of the refrigerant tube. The refrigerant tubes and the defrosting medium tubes can be alternately arranged in the upstream line. The protrusion protrudes such that the air can be introduced into an air passage from the side portion of the protrusion even when an end facing the upstream side of the flow of the air is closed with the core of frost.

    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle device includes a compressor configured to compress and discharge a refrigerant containing oil, a refrigerant radiator configured to heat the ventilation air using the refrigerant discharged from the compressor as a heat source during a room interior heating, a refrigerant decompression unit configured to decompress the refrigerant having passed through the refrigerant radiator, an evaporator configured to evaporate the refrigerant and to function as a heat absorber during the room interior heating; and a controller configured to control the refrigerant decompression unit and to perform a fluctuation operation at least during the room interior heating. In the fluctuation operation, a throttle opening degree of the refrigerant decompression unit is changed such that a refrigerant state on a refrigerant outlet side of the evaporator is alternately changed to a superheated state having a superheat degree and a wet state containing the wet vapor.
