Abstract
An automotive climate control system includes an evaporator, a variable speed compressor and a controller. The controller is configured to periodically alter a previous target evaporator temperature at a selected rate to generate a current target evaporator temperature, select a target compressor speed based on a difference between an actual evaporator temperature and the current target evaporator temperature, and command the compressor to operate at the target compressor speed.
