An electronic control unit is applied to an air conditioner, the air conditioner including a heating unit which heats a heat medium, a casing which allows an air flow to circulate toward a compartment, a blower which generates the air flow in the casing, and a heat exchanger disposed in the casing that heats the air flow by exchanging heat between the heat medium heated by the heating unit and the air flow. The blower air volume of the blower is controlled based on a first candidate value determined based on an estimated blowing temperature, and a second candidate value determined based on a required blowing air temperature and the estimated blowing temperature. The second candidate value is set as a predetermined value when a warm-up operation of the heating unit is completed.

Electronic control unit for air conditioner

A vehicular air conditioner includes an air conditioning, a heater core, a heat pump cycle unit, a temperature detector, and a controller. The heat pump cycle unit includes a first inside heat exchanger disposed downstream of the heater core in a flow direction of a conditioning air, a second inside heat exchanger disposed upstream of the heater core in the flow direction of the conditioning air, and an outside heat exchanger. The temperature detector is configured to detect a passage air temperature, the passage air temperature being a temperature of the conditioning air that has passed through the heater core. The controller is configured to selectively switch a circuit layout of the heat pump cycle unit between a cooling circuit, a heating circuit, and a dehumidifying-heating circuit based on the passage air temperature.

Vehicular air conditioner

A vehicle air conditioning device includes a compressor, a radiator, an outside heat exchanger, an evaporator, a first decompressor, a second decompressor, a switching portion, and a controller. The radiator exchanges heat between a refrigerant discharged from the compressor and air. The outside heat exchanger exchanges heat between outside air and the refrigerant flowing out of the radiator. The evaporator is exchanges heat between the refrigerant flowing out of the outside heat exchanger and the air flowing through the radiator. The switching portion switches between a series dehumidifying-heating mode and a parallel dehumidifying-heating mode. The controller is configured to control the switching portion to switch from the parallel dehumidifying-heating mode to the series dehumidifying-heating mode when the amount of the refrigerant oil flowing from the outside heat exchanger to the compressor is insufficient in the parallel dehumidifying-heating mode.

Vehicle air conditioning device

A vehicle air conditioning device includes a compressor and a controller. The controller is configured to set an upper limit value of the rotation speed of the compressor based on a combination of whether the speed of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined speed and whether a rotation speed of a fan device for a condenser is lower than a predetermined rotation speed.

A noise-absorbing member is attached on a surface of a dashboard at a passenger compartment side of a vehicle. A diaphragm case member of a temperature sensitive element portion of an expansion valve is disposed near the noise-absorbing member to face the noise-absorbing member. Thus, when noise due to a vibration of a valve body of a valve body mechanism portion of the expansion valve is transmitted to a diaphragm for operating the valve body and is further transmitted to the diaphragm case member, the noise transmitted from the diaphragm case member can be effectively reduced by the noise-absorbing member.
