摘要:
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.

Provided is a refrigeration cycle wherein, when an orifice is disposed within a refrigeration circuit, and a differential pressure between the upstream side and the downstream side of the orifice is detected using two pressure sensors, the difference between the characteristics of the pressure sensors can be adequately and easily absorbed in software, to accurately determine an actual differential pressure, so that the flow rate of refrigerant and the torque of a compressor can be accurately estimated. The refrigeration cycle wherein the orifice is provided within a refrigerant circuit, and the pressure sensors are respectively provided on the upstream side and the downstream side of the orifice, is characterized in that, with regard to output characteristics representing the relationship between the detected pressure and the sensor output of each pressure sensor, the difference between the output characteristics of one pressure sensor and the output characteristics of the other pressure sensor is determined based on the outputs of both pressure sensors at a condition where the flow of refrigerant is stopped.

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 a vehicle includes a compressor driven by a first drive source or a second drive source, or a combination thereof, and an evaporator operationally connected to the compressor via a refrigerant circuit. The system also includes a blower for dispensing air into an interior of the vehicle via the evaporator. The blower is driven by the first drive source or the second drive source, or a combination thereof. Moreover, the system includes a controller for controlling the first drive source and the second drive source. Specifically, when a temperature of air dispensed from the evaporator is greater than a predetermined temperature and a speed of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined speed, the first drive source drives the compressor and the blower. Moreover, when the temperature of air dispensed from the evaporator is greater than the predetermined temperature, the speed of the vehicle is less than the predetermined speed, and a voltage of a power source of the second drive source is less than or equal to a predetermined voltage, the compressor is inactive and the second drive source drives the blower.

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.
