Abstract
An air conditioner for vehicle includes a cooler cooled in a cooling circuit which includes a compressor, a heat exchanger located in the vicinity of the cooler, a thermal storage tank connected with the heat exchanger via a heat transfer passage, a pump provided in said heat transfer passage, a first temperature sensor for detecting the temperature TO in close proximity to of the cooler, a second temperature sensor for detecting the temperature TC of the storage tank, and a third sensor for detecting the temperature TR in the car interior, and a heat transfer type partition wall can be integrally provided between a cooling flowing passage of the cooler and a fluid passage of the heat exchanger. The air conditioner for the vehicle serves to cause said pump to be operated to permit cooling energy to be stored when TC is greater then TO and TR is lower than a set value, and to cause said pump to be operated to permit said cooling energy to be radiated when TR is higher than the set value. Cooling energy can be effectively transferred to the heat exchanger via the heat transfer type partition wall. When the temperature in a car is raised to that higher than a set value, the heat stored in storage tank can be radiated to lower the temperature in the car interior.
