Abstract
The present invention relates to an air-conditioning apparatus provided in an vehicle. The apparatus is adapted to deliver conditioned air into a passenger compartment so as to regulate an interior temperature of a passenger compartment at a desired temperature. The apparatus comprises a temperature regulating device for regulating an outlet air temperature, a blower, and a controller for setting a target outlet air temperature and volume. The controller includes comfortability index setting means for setting a comfortability index which is a function of at least an outlet air temperature and volume and which is an indication representing a degree of a passenger's comfort, a variable temperature setting device located in the passenger compartment for a manual presetting of a desired interior temperature, and variable target setting means for setting a target value of the comfortability index dependent on the preset interior temperature, and air temperature and volume setting means for setting a combination of said target outlet air temperature and volume which allows the comfortability index to be approximated to the target value thereof.
