  • Method for operating a vehicle climate control system
    Patent number: 9688116
    Abstract: A method for controlling an air conditioner compressor of a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes adjusting a displacement command in response to an error between an expected air conditioner evaporator temperature and a measured or inferred air conditioner evaporator temperature, the displacement command is further adjusted via adding a value to the displacement command based on desired air conditioner evaporator temperature, the value determined apart from the error between the expected air conditioner evaporator temperature and the measured or inferred air conditioner evaporator temperature.

  • Method for transitioning between vehicle climate control system modes
    Patent number: 9587868
    Abstract: A method for controlling transitions between activating and deactivating a vehicle air conditioner compressor is disclosed. In one example, displacement of the air conditioner compressor is adjusted before the air conditioner is coupled to an energy conversion device. The method may provide smooth transitions between different air conditioner compressor control modes.
