Abstract: An air conditioner for a vehicle equipped with a motor for driving the vehicle has a vehicle speed detecting unit, an electric compressor, an evaporator, an electric compressor rotation speed controlling unit, a controlling unit and a refrigerant pressure detecting unit. The controlling unit calculates a first candidate for a rotation speed upper limit value of the electric compressor based on a vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detecting unit, calculates a second candidate for the rotation speed upper limit value of the electric compressor based on a refrigerant pressure detected by the refrigerant pressure detecting unit, and decides a minimum value of the first and second candidates for the rotation speed upper limit value of the electric compressor, as the rotation speed upper limit value of the electric compressor.

Abstract: A controlling unit includes a fan air supply amount setting unit communicated with a supply fan feeding air cooled by an electric compressor into an interior of a vehicle and setting an air supply amount of the supply fan, and sets a rotation speed upper limit value of the electric compressor based on a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed detecting unit and the air supply amount set by the fan air supply amount setting unit.

Abstract: A fault diagnosis unit 61 identifies that a system is out of order and stops driving of a heater 51 (step S8) when a preset first setting time elapses after a start of driving of an electric-powered water pump 42 and a heater 51 (step S3 and step S4), a value obtained by subtracting temperature detected by a heater inlet temperature sensor 52 from temperature detected by a heater outlet temperature sensor 53 is less than or equal to a preset first threshold (step S5), and a value obtained by subtracting temperature detected by a water temperature sensor 43 before a start of driving of the electric-powered water pump 42 and the heater 51 from temperature detected by the water temperature sensor 43 is less than or equal to a second threshold (step S6).

Abstract: An air-conditioning control apparatus performs detailed determination of the operating conditions of an air-conditioning apparatus, and performs efficient air-conditioning control such that power distribution is changed based on the detailed determination, in order to improve the comfort of occupants under a limitation on air-conditioning, thereby balancing ensuring the range with ensuring the comfort of the occupants. The air-conditioning control apparatus calculates usable power amounts for a cooling unit and a heating unit, and drives the cooling unit and the heating unit based on drive limit values. It allocates power amounts calculated for the condition of the battery and the vehicle drive, that can be allocated to the air-conditioning equipment, to the cooling unit and the heating unit according to an air-conditioning state that is set automatically or manually, thereby enabling necessary heating and cooling to be used to its full extent even during limitations on air-conditioning.

Abstract: To determine whether or not integral control is performed when a requested compressor output value is limited by an upper or lower limit, based on an evaporator temperature deviation, prevent divergence of an integral value, and make an evaporator temperature follow a target evaporator temperature during the integral control, an evaporator temperature deviation calculation means, integral control means for calculating an integral value based on an evaporator temperature deviation, and output value calculation means for calculating a requested compressor output value based on the integral value and limiting the requested compressor output value to calculate a compressor output value are provided.

Abstract: A substrate, on which a base metal layer and a magnetic recording metal layer are to be deposited, is cleaned by contacting it with an aqueous solution of at least one compound selected from a carboxylic acid or L-ascorbic acid having a pH of 5.0 or less.
