Abstract
A vehicle air conditioner includes: a condenser that internally circulates a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant which is discharged from a compressor and that heats air passing around the condenser; an evaporator that internally circulates a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant and that absorbs heat from the air passing around the evaporator; and a switching portion that switches flows of air in response to a heating time, a cooling time, and a dehumidifying-heating time of a vehicle. Also, the switching portion causes the air passing around the condenser to flow into a vehicle compartment during the heating time of the vehicle, causes the air passing around the evaporator to flow into the vehicle compartment during the cooling time of the vehicle and causes the air sequentially passing through the evaporator and the condenser to flow into the vehicle compartment during the dehumidifying-heating time of the vehicle.
