Abstract
In a vehicle air conditioner having a refrigerant cycle using carbon dioxide as refrigerant, a displacement of a compressor is changed and controlled, so that an air temperature immediately after passing through an evaporator becomes approximately 0° C., and it can prevent a refrigerant amount discharged from the compressor from being larger than a predetermined flow amount. Because the refrigerant amount discharged from the compressor is controlled to be not larger than the predetermined flow amount, it can prevent a high-pressure side refrigerant pressure and a high-pressure side refrigerant temperature from being excessively increased in the refrigerant cycle.
