  • Patent number: 11577579
    Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioning device includes a compressor 2, a radiator 4, an outdoor heat exchanger 7, a first heat medium circulating device 61 to let a first heat medium circulate in a heat medium heating heater 66, and a second heat medium circulating device 62 to let a second heat medium circulate in a battery 55. The first heat medium circulating device has a first heat medium heat exchanging unit 65A which exchanges heat between a refrigerant and the first heat medium. The second heat medium circulating device has a second heat medium heat exchanging unit 65B which exchanges heat between the first heat medium and the second heat medium.

  • Publication number: 20220305883
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicular air-conditioning device capable of reducing frost formation on an outdoor heat exchanger during vehicle running after disconnection from an external power source and extending a period during which a heating operation can be performed with high efficiency. A battery 55 is capable of being charged from an external power source. A controller 32 causes an outdoor heat exchanger 7 to absorb heat to thereby execute a heating operation to heat a vehicle interior. The controller 32 is capable of executing air preconditioning to preliminarily heat the vehicle interior before boarding. When the air preconditioning is executed in a state in which the battery 55 is connected to the external power source, the controller 32 heats the vehicle interior without using the outdoor heat exchanger 7, and changes a target temperature for heating control in the air preconditioning in the direction of increasing from a reference value of the target temperature.

  • Publication number: 20220250439
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle air-conditioning device capable of smoothly achieving pre-air-conditioning for preliminarily heating a vehicle interior without forming frost on an outdoor heat exchanger or while preventing frost formation thereon as much as possible. When the temperature of a battery 55 or a motor 65 for running is higher than or equal to a predetermined specified value upon executing the pre-air-conditioning for preliminarily heating the vehicle interior before boarding, a controller 32 operates a compressor 2 to let a refrigerant discharged from the compressor radiate heat in a radiator 4, decompress the refrigerant from which the heat is radiated, and then let the refrigerant absorb heat in a waste heat recovering heat exchanger 64 without using an outdoor heat exchanger 7.

  • Publication number: 20210323380
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle air conditioning device that can solve the decrease of a circulation refrigerant quantity while effectively using the heat of a temperature control object in heating a cabin. The heating operation of a vehicle air conditioning device (1) includes an external air heat absorption heating mode for heating a cabin in a manner that a refrigerant discharged from a compressor (2) radiates heat in a radiator (4), the refrigerant is decompressed, and then the refrigerant absorbs heat in an outdoor heat exchanger (7), and a temperature control object heat absorption heating mode for heating the cabin in a manner that the refrigerant absorbs heat in a refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger (64), and these modes are performed while being switched. The heating operation is started in the external air heat absorption heating mode.

  • Publication number: 20200346520
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle air-conditioning device capable of realizing an efficient air-conditioning operation without being affected by a temperature of a heat generating device mounted on a vehicle. The vehicle air-conditioning device includes a compressor 2, a radiator 4, an outdoor heat exchanger 7, a first heat medium circulating device 61 to let a first heat medium circulate in a heat medium heating heater 66, and a second heat medium circulating device 62 to let a second heat medium circulate in a battery 55. The first heat medium circulating device has a first heat medium heat exchanging unit 65A which exchanges heat between a refrigerant and the first heat medium. The second heat medium circulating device has a second heat medium heat exchanging unit 65B which exchanges heat between the first heat medium and the second heat medium.
