  • Patent number: 11981183
    Abstract: This air conditioning device for a vehicle has: an indoor condenser; an indoor evaporator; a first expansion valve; a second expansion valve; a refrigerant line; an expansion valve control detector; and a controller. The expansion valve control detector is constituted by: only one temperature sensor that detects the temperature of refrigerant in an inter-expansion valve line of the refrigerant line; and only one pressure sensor that detects the pressure of the refrigerant in the inter-expansion valve line. During a cooling operation, the controller issues, to the first expansion valve, an opening command corresponding to a state quantity of the refrigerant that has been detected by the expansion valve control detector, and during a heating operation, the controller issues, to the second expansion valve, an opening command corresponding to a state quantity of the refrigerant that has been detected by the expansion valve control detector.
