Abstract:
The compressor (18) is connected with the inner heat exchanger (7) across a refrigeration circuit. Compressed refrigerant is circulated between the compressor (18) and the heat exchange (7) with a variable output. An adjusting unit adjusts the amount of air blown by the fan (6). A computer unit ensures that the power needed for the air conditioning system does not adversely affect the power needed to drive the vehicle, and the control of the compressor is carried out to ensure a stable and comfortable control of the vehicle air conditioning.
Abstract:
Capacity of compressor is reduced, when engine speed or cooling water temperature becomes more than predetermined speed or temperature (f1). The capacity of compressor is increased, when engine speed or cooling water temperature is reduced.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly diagnose any leakage of refrigerant without being restricted by the operating state of a vehicle air-conditioner.SOLUTION: When the operating state of the vehicle air-conditioner is stable, a refrigerant leakage determination threshold Th is set on the basis of the outlet pressure Pd and the inlet pressure Ps of a compressor, and on the other hand, the volume flow rate Gr in a refrigerant pipe, through which a liquid refrigerant flows and which leads from a condenser to an expansion valve, is detected. When the volume flow rate Gr is determined to exceed the refrigerant leakage determination threshold Th, the diagnosis result (warning), indicating that the refrigerant is leaking, is output.

SOLUTION: The vapor compression type refrigerating cycle has a compressor 2, a radiator 3, a first pressure reducing means 5 for reducing a pressure of a coolant from the radiator, a first gas-liquid separating means for carrying out gas-liquid separation of the pressure-reduced coolant, a second pressure reducing means 6 for reducing a pressure of the coolant in a liquid phase state separated by the first gas-liquid separating means, an evaporator 8 evaporating the coolant pressure-reduced by the second pressure reducing means, and a second gas-liquid separating means for carrying out gas-liquid separation of the coolant evaporated by the evaporator. The coolant in a gaseous phase state separated by the second gas-liquid separating means is sent into a suction side of the compressor, and the coolant in a gaseous phase state separated by the first gas-liquid separating means is guided to a middle of a compressing process of the compressor.
