Abstract

In a vehicle air conditioner, a controller calculates a first target post-evaporator temperature for defogging a windshield based on a detection humidity of a humidity sensor, and calculates a second target post-evaporator temperature for defogging the windshield regardless of the detection humidity of the humidity sensor. Then, the controller determines a smaller one between the first and second target post-evaporator temperatures, as a target post-evaporator temperature. Accordingly, even when the humidity sensor detects a humidity lower than an actual humidity of a passenger compartment when a blower operates by a low air-blowing amount, a windshield is prevented from fogging.
