    摘要: A heating temperature is appropriately estimated according to an operation mode to achieve comfortable vehicle interior air conditioning. A vehicular air conditioning device 1 includes a compressor 2, an air flow passage 3, a radiator 4 for heating air to be supplied to a vehicle interior, a heat absorber 9 for cooling the air to be supplied to the vehicle interior, and a heat pump controller. The heat pump controller calculates a heating temperature TH being the temperature of air on a leeward side of the radiator and use the heating temperature in control, and calculates the heating temperature TH using an estimation formula which differs depending on the operation mode.

    摘要: A vehicle air-conditioning device is provided which is capable of eliminating or suppressing vibration and noise generated due to the application of a counterpressure to an opening/closing valve. The vehicle air-conditioning device includes a refrigerant circuit R having a compressor 2, a radiator 4 to perform heat exchange between a refrigerant and air, an outdoor heat exchanger 7, a heat absorber 9, and a solenoid valve 40. The compressor 2 and the solenoid valve 40 are controlled to air-condition a vehicle interior. A decompression speed at a refrigerant inflow side of the solenoid valve when the compressor 2 is stopped and the solenoid valve 40 is closed is faster than that at a refrigerant outflow side thereof. When operation is stopped from a state in which the compressor 2 is operating with the solenoid valve 40 being in an opened state, the opened state of the solenoid valve 40 is maintained even after the compressor 2 is stopped.

    摘要: There is disclosed a vehicle air conditioning device which is capable of judging, as early as possible, refrigerant shortage, for example, due to leakage of refrigerant with elapse of time, and protecting a compressor. The vehicle air conditioning device includes a compressor 2, a radiator 4, an outdoor expansion valve 6, and a heat absorber 9. A control device possesses normal time data indicating a relation between a suction refrigerant temperature Ts and a discharge refrigerant temperature Td of the compressor when a refrigerant circuit R is charged with a sufficient amount of the refrigerant. The control device calculates, from the normal time data, a discharge refrigerant temperature estimated value Tdst at normal time on the basis of the current suction refrigerant temperature Ts, and compares the value and the current discharge refrigerant temperature Td, thereby judging refrigerant shortage of the refrigerant circuit.

    摘要: Air conditioner for a vehicle in which low pressure protection is accurately performed to improve reliability. A controller adjusts a number of revolution Nc of a compressor 2 so that a detected value does not decrease below a limiting target value TGTs, on the basis of the detected value of a suction temperature sensor and a limiting target value TGTs set to a suction refrigerant temperature of the compressor 2. The controller has a predetermined limiting lower limit TGTsL and a predetermined limiting upper limit TGTsH which is higher than the predetermined limiting lower limit, and adjusts the number of revolution Nc of compressor 2 so that the limiting target value TGTs is the limiting upper limit TGTsH on startup of compressor 2, and the controller gradually decreases the limiting target value TGTs toward the limiting lower limit TGTsL, when the detected value decreases to the limiting upper limit TGTsH.

    摘要: A vehicle air-conditioning apparatus is provided which is capable of expanding an effective range of a dehumidifying and heating mode to achieve comfortable vehicle interior air conditioning. A control device (controller) executes a dehumidifying and heating mode to let a refrigerant discharged from a compressor 2 radiate heat in a radiator 4, let a part of the refrigerant flow from a bypass circuit (refrigerant pipe 13F) to an indoor expansion valve 8, and let the residual refrigerant flow through an outdoor expansion valve 6. In the dehumidifying and heating mode, the control device has a state of controlling the operation of the compressor 2, based on a heat absorber temperature Te and executes a radiator temperature priority mode which enlarges a capability of the compressor when heat radiation in the radiator is insufficient.

    摘要: There is disclosed a vehicle air conditioning device which inhibits generation of noise in a solenoid valve 30 disposed on an inlet side of a radiator 4 and improves durability of the solenoid valve. A second operation mode is executed to shut off an outdoor expansion valve 6, close the solenoid valve 30, open a solenoid valve 40 and thereby send a refrigerant discharged from a compressor 2 through a bypass pipe 35 to an outdoor heat exchanger 7. When a first operation mode to open the solenoid valve 30 and close the solenoid valve 40 and thereby send the refrigerant to the radiator 4 is shifted to the second operation mode, a controller opens the solenoid valve 30 at a timing to stop the compressor 2.
