  • Publication number: 20130025312
    Abstract: A heat pump air conditioning system for a vehicle, wherein the system can efficiently use electric power and a discharge temperature can be set to an optimal level. During dehumidifying-heating operation in which air for air conditioning passes through a fourth heater exchanger after passing through a third heat exchanger, a first blower and a second blower are cooperatively operated by adjusting, according to the voltage supplied to the first blower, the voltage supplied to the second blower. When the discharge temperature of the air for air conditioning flowing from a first heat exchanger is higher than a first predetermined temperature and the rotational speed of a refrigerant compressor is minimum, the cooperative operation between the first blower and the second blower is stopped and the electric power to the second blower is adjusted to lower the discharge temperature to a level lower than a second predetermined temperature.
