  • Publication number: 20090049852
    Abstract: An ejector-type air-conditioning and refrigerating system according to the present invention is mounted on an automotive vehicle. The system includes a first evaporator for cooling a passenger compartment and a second evaporator for cooling a refrigerator mounted on the vehicle. Refrigerant is supplied to the first evaporator through an ejector, while the refrigerant is supplied to the second evaporator through a restrictor disposed in a branch passage. Refrigerant evaporated in the second evaporator is sucked by a sucking portion provided in the ejector through a sucking passage. A noise dissipater for suppressing noises caused by pulsating vibrations generated in the ejector is disposed in the sucking passage at a position close to the sucking portion of the ejector. The noise dissipater is postured in the sucking passage so that liquid components in the refrigerant including oil contained in the refrigerant are prevented from being retained in the dissipater.

  • Patent number: 7100383
    Abstract: During the period of deceleration of a vehicle, an air conditioning control unit modifies a target cooling temperature (TEO) of an evaporator to a temperature lower than that before the deceleration by ? ° C. in order to store cold in the evaporator (step S130). When the vehicle comes to rest, the air conditioning control unit sets an upwardly-modified target temperature TEOK, which is a temperature modified toward more or less higher temperatures from the target cooling temperature TEO, and brings a compressor to rest and keeps the resting state of the compressor until a detected temperature TE of an evaporator discharge temperature sensor exceeds TEOK (step S180). Therefore, it is possible to effectively utilize the cold heat stored in the evaporator 6 during the period of deceleration of the vehicle with a good feeling of passengers being maintained while the vehicle is at rest.

  • Patent number: 7096680
    Abstract: In a vehicle air conditioner having a variable displacement compressor, a control unit calculates a target cooling temperature of air to be cooled by an evaporator, and controls a discharge capacity of the compressor such that a detected air temperature of the evaporator approaches the target cooling temperature. When a deceleration running state of the vehicle is detected, the control unit sets a corrected target cooling temperature lower than the target cooling temperature by a predetermined temperature, and controls the discharge capacity of the compressor such that the detected air temperature approaches the corrected target cooling temperature when the detected air temperature is lower than the corrected target cooling temperature, or controls the discharge capacity of the compressor approximately at the maximum capacity regardless of the corrected target cooling temperature when the detected air temperature is not lower than the corrected target cooling temperature.
