  • Vehicle air conditioner
    Patent number: 9487059
    Abstract: An air conditioner ECU can set an external air introducing mode and an internal/external air dual mode. Here, the internal/external air dual mode is set by the air conditioner ECU in cases in which the air conditioner ECU judges that there is a warm-up state that is after a start of a heating operation and in which a blow-out temperature of air conditioned wind is in the process of rising, and in cases in which humidity detected by a humidity sensor exceeds a reference humidity that is set in advance.
