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.

Air-conditioner for automobiles

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.

Automobile air-conditioner

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.

Apparatus for controlling an automotive air-conditioner

An automobile air conditioning system controlled to create various airflow modes including at least one dual airflow mode in which two airflow modes are made simultaneously effective. Operating airflow mode selecting switches are provided one individual to each airflow mode. A regulating switch, associated with the airflow selecting switch for the dual airflow mode, is provided to regulate a quantitative ratio of airflow in the dual airflow mode either stepwise or substantially linearly to thereby produce delicately controlled dual outlet airflow.
