| 20110067419 | AIR-CONDITIONING CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - An air-conditioning control device for a vehicle includes an air-conditioner, an estimating portion, and a controller. The air-conditioner includes a compressor driven by an engine of the vehicle so as to compress refrigerant, and a heat storage portion having a coolness storage agent to store heat of the refrigerant. A passenger compartment of the vehicle is air-conditioned using air cooled by the heat storage portion when the compressor is stopped. The estimating portion estimates a present value of coolness amount stored in the heat storage portion based on a temperature history of the refrigerant. The controller controls the compressor based on the estimated present value of coolness amount. | 03-24-2011 |
