Abstract

An automotive air conditioner comprises a refrigerating unit including a compressor, for carrying out a refrigerating cycle, and a temperature regulator for setting the temperature of air to be blown into the passenger compartment of an automobile. The rotating speed of the compressor, hence the flow rate of the refrigerant, is regulated by controlling an inverter for controlling an electric motor for driving the compressor according to a temperature set by the temperature regulator. The automatic air conditioner is suitable for use on an electric motorcar.
