  • Publication number: 20220042855
    Abstract: A temperature input unit includes a disconnection detection circuit that measures a temperature of a measurement target with at least one of a thermocouple or a temperature measurement resistor and feeds a disconnection detection current for disconnection detection to the thermocouple and a compensating wire connected to the thermocouple. A controller controls, before measuring the temperature of the measurement target with the thermocouple, a terminal switch and an input circuit switch to connect the compensating wire to a temperature measurement resistor input circuit and an A/D converter, and calculates a predicted value of a voltage drop resulting from resistance of the compensating wire occurring in response to the disconnection detection current.

  • Patent number: 11203251
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11192428
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11104205
    Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioning device is provided which is capable of eliminating inconvenience due to a reduction in heating capability when changing from heat absorption from outdoor air to heat absorption from a heat medium. A heat-generating equipment temperature adjusting device 61 has a heat medium heating heater 66 and a refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64. The vehicle air-conditioning device has first and second heat medium heat absorption/heating modes to let a refrigerant discharged from a compressor 2 radiate heat in a radiator 4, decompress the refrigerant from which the heat has been radiated, and then let the refrigerant absorb heat in the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger. When the temperature of the heat medium is a predetermined threshold T1 or less upon changing from a heating operation to the first and second heat medium heat absorption/heating modes, the heat medium is heated by the heat medium heating heater before the changing.
