Patent ID: 7347056

Claim:
A vehicle air-conditioning system comprising: a compressor for compressing a refrigerant; a condenser for condensing the refrigerant compressed by the compressor; a condenser fan for blowing cooling air at the condenser; an evaporator for cooling air-conditioning air by vaporizing the refrigerant; an evaporator outlet air target temperature setting means for setting a target temperature of air at an outlet of the evaporator at a predetermined temperature greater than or equal to a minimum temperature which is set for preventing freezing of the evaporator, based on an outside air temperature and a target discharge temperature; a compressor turning-off means for turning off the compressor when an air temperature at the outlet of the evaporator is lower than or equal to the predetermined temperature set by the evaporator outlet air target temperature setting means; and a condenser fan speed control means for switching the speed of the condenser fan from low speed to high speed when a refrigerant pressure at an outlet of the compressor is greater than or equal to a predetermined pressure, wherein the evaporator outlet air target temperature setting means sets the predetermined temperature at the minimum temperature when the vehicle speed is lower than or equal to a predetermined vehicle speed.
