Abstract
An air conditioning system for vehicles includes a sensor for detecting opening and closing of a vehicle portal, such as a door or a window, and a control device for selectively opening ports through which temperature controlled air flows into an interior of a vehicle, in response to a signal generated by the opening and closing detecting sensor and a target air temperature. In the system, even if a door or a window of a cabin is opened, ports are opened according to a most suitable port mode depending on the target air temperature at a present time. Therefore, an improved air conditioning state for an operator, and an improved driving condition with reduced waste power and reduced loads to the respective equipment, may be achieved.
