Abstract:
A vehicle air conditioner includes a refrigeration cycle unit, a heater core, a cool air bypass passage, an air volume ratio regulator, and an auxiliary heat exchanger. The heater core is disposed in a heating passage located downstream of an evaporator with respect to an airflow. The auxiliary heat exchanger is provided in the refrigeration cycle unit. The evaporator includes a cold energy storage configured to store cold energy. The cold energy storage stores cold energy when the compressor is in operation, and dissipate cold energy while the compressor stops. The auxiliary heat exchanger is located downstream of the evaporator and upstream of the heater core with respect to the airflow. The auxiliary heat exchanger is configured to change enthalpy of refrigerant by heat exchange between the refrigerant and air having been cooled by the evaporator and to be heated by the heater core.

Claim (Index 3):
The vehicle air conditioner according to  claim 1 , further comprising\n a target cooling temperature determiner configured to determine a target cooling temperature that is a target value of temperature of air blowing out of the evaporator, wherein the target cooling temperature determiner is configured to:\n obtain a first target cooling temperature based on at least outside air temperature that is temperature of air outside the vehicle; \n obtain a second target cooling temperature based on at least the outside air temperature, an effect on power saving of the compressor obtained when the auxiliary heat exchanger changes enthalpy of the refrigerant in the liquid phase, and an improving effect on fuel economy of the internal combustion engine obtained when the evaporator dissipates cold energy; and \n determine the first target cooling temperature or the second target cooling temperature as the target cooling temperature.
