An air conditioning system for a vehicle includes a hybrid compressor having a first compression mechanism driven by a drive source for driving the vehicle and a second compression mechanism driven by an electric motor, means for selecting a drive source, a means for detecting a refrigeration cycle condition, and means for estimating a power consumption of the compressor due to a selected drive source and a power consumption of the compressor due to a non-selected drive source in response to a value detected by the means for detecting a refrigeration cycle condition, when one drive source has been selected. Through this estimation, an preferred drive source may be selected in response to the condition of the refrigeration cycle or a thermal load.
摘要:
An air conditioner for a vehicle uses a hybrid compressor (4) including a first compression mechanism driven by a first drive source (2) and a second compression mechanism driven by a second drive source (5), and a single discharge port connected to the first and the second compression mechanisms. The operation of the hybrid compressor is controlled by a controller (15) in accordance with a control mode. The controller has a first operation mode in which the first compression mechanism alone is driven, a second operation mode in which the second compression mechanism alone is driven, a third operation mode in which the first and the second compression mechanisms are simultaneously driven, and a fourth operation mode in which the first and the second compression mechanisms are simultaneously stopped. Depending upon various conditions, the controller selects, as the control mode, one of the first, the second, the third, and the fourth operation modes.

An air conditioning system for vehicles includes a compressor and a variable displacement compressor provided in a refrigeration cycle, means for operating the variable displacement compressor, compressor operation switching means for switching the compressor operation between the compressor and the variable displacement compressor, and variable displacement compressor feedforward displacement value calculation means for calculating a displacement control value of the variable displacement compressor as an input to the refrigeration cycle so as to obtain a target control displacement after the compressor operation is switched. After the operation is switched from the compressor to the variable displacement compressor, the variable displacement compressor is started based on the calculated variable displacement compressor feedforward displacement value. When the flow rate of refrigerant varies greatly upon operation switching between the compressor and the variable displacement compressor, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the comfortable feeling of passengers.

An air conditioner for a vehicle comprises a refrigeration cycle including a variable displacement compressor for refrigerant which uses an engine as a drive source, a condenser, and an evaporator, a displacement adjustment means for outputting a displacement control signal to the compressor, and a compressor torque calculation means for calculating the torque of the compressor. The compressor torque calculation means includes at least two torque estimation means of a saturation region torque estimation means corresponding to a case where the compressor is driven at a maximum discharge displacement and a displacement control region torque estimation means corresponding to a case where it is driven at a discharge displacement other than the maximum discharge displacement, and also includes a correction means for correcting the calculation of the torque of the compressor when a change in engine rotational speed greater than a set value is detected. Even when the engine rotational speed changes rapidly, the torque of the compressor in the refrigeration cycle can be precisely calculated.

In a vehicle air-conditioning device, refrigerant leakage is diagnosed precisely without any restrictions from an operating condition of the air-conditioning device. When the operating condition of the vehicle air-conditioning device is stable, a threshold value Th for determination of refrigerant leakage is set based on an outlet pressure Pd and an inlet pressure Ps of a compressor. Furthermore, a volume flow Gr in that refrigerant pipe running from a condenser to an expansion valve through which the refrigerant circulates in a liquid state is detected. When it is determined that the volume flow Gr exceeds the threshold value Th for determination of refrigerant leakage, a diagnosis result (alarm) indicating that the refrigerant leaks is output.

A vehicle air conditioning apparatus is provided that can prevent temperature variations of the air after the heat exchange in a radiator to reliably control the temperature of the air supplied to the vehicle interior. During the heating operation and the heating and dehumidifying operation, target degree of supercooling SCt when target air-blowing temperature TAO is a predetermined temperature or higher is set to SCt1 that is greater than SCt2 when the target air-blowing temperature TAO is lower than the predetermined temperature. When amount of air Ga supplied from indoor fan 12 is lower than a predetermined value, the target degree of supercooling SCt is corrected, which is set such that the degree of supercooling is lower than target degree of supercooling corrected when the amount of air Ga supplied from the indoor fan 12 is a predetermined value or higher.
