An air conditioner for a vehicle has a variable capacity compressor for compressing a refrigerant and controlling a discharged volume of the refrigerant by a power source for driving a vehicle, and a controller for setting a second target temperature higher by a predetermined temperature than a preset first target temperate and controlling the discharged volume of the refrigerant based on the second target temperature when entering into a state where fuel consumption of the power source for driving the vehicle is lowered.

Air conditioner for vehicle

A vehicle air conditioning control apparatus having an externally controlled type compressorand an externally controlled type cooling electric fanis disclosed in which a control map, for determining a duty ratio for a fan motorin terms of a compressor discharge pressure Pd, is determined based on the maximum efficiency point, for providing the maximum fuel consumption, that allows a total engine load torque, represented by a total sum of an engine load torque caused by the externally controlled type compressorand an engine load torque caused by a fan motor, to be a minimum torque, and a duty voltage to be applied to the fan motoris controlled using the compressor outlet pressure Pd and the control map which is determined.
