Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus for a vehicle and a control method of the same are provided which may inhibit a closing degree of a door from being insufficient even when the door is closed while a blower fan is actuated. An air-conditioning apparatus for a vehicle includes an inside-outside air switching damper including a damper switching actuator, a blower fan, a control unit, and door opening-and-closing sensors. In a case where the door becomes an open state and a case where the blower fan is actuated and the inside-outside air switching damper is in an outside air introduction mode, the control unit issues a command to the damper switching actuator to switch the inside-outside air switching damper to an inside air circulation mode.

Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus for a vehicle and a control method of the same are provided to inhibit a closing degree of a door in closing the door from being insufficient, secure high quietness in a vehicle cabin immediately after the door is closed, and lower energy consumption of the vehicle. An air-conditioning apparatus for a vehicle includes an inside-outside air switching damper including a damper switching actuator, an air-conditioning control switch, a control unit, and door opening-and-closing sensors. The control unit includes two timers and a memory. When an IG switch is in an OFF state, the control unit sets the inside-outside air switching damper to an intermediate mode when the door becomes an open state, thereafter sequentially starts the timers when the door becomes a closed state, and returns the inside-outside air switching damper to a previous state to opening of the door after waiting until the timers expire.

Abstract: An automobile air-conditioner wherein a controlled variable used to determine the control mode of a component of the air-conditioner is corrected or restricted according to the amount of shifting of the head part setting temperature for driving the component of the air-conditioner based on the corrected or restricted controlled variable. With this arrangement, an occupant of the automobile senses an enhanced change of the air-conditioning operation when the head part setting temperature is changed.

Abstract: An automobile air-conditioner capable of controlling the displacement of a compressor in view of the traveling condition and air-conditioning condition of an automobile so as to maintain a pleasant feeling of the air-conditioning and an accelerating ability of the automobile in harmony with each other. The air-conditioner includes an air-conditioning preference judgment device by means of which a normal control of the air-conditioning operation is maintained when the judgment of this judgment means indicates the existence of an air-conditioning preference condition. The air-conditioning is performed in preference to acceleration of the automobile depending on the degree of acceleration of the automobile even when the automobile is accelerated.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an automotive air-conditioner wherein an air distribution to left and right sides of a vehicle passenger compartment is achieved either in an automatic control mode or in a manual control mode which is selected by a judgement made based on the vehicle passenger compartment and the quantity of solar radiation. In case of the automatic control mode, the rate of change of the air distribution control is changed dependent upon the position set by an air-distribution setting unit relative to the direction of solar radiation so as to meet the occupant desire.
