Abstract

A vehicle air conditioning apparatus in which the larger the air conditioning cooling load in a vehicle compartment, for example, the larger the solar radiation amount, the lower the set temperature or the larger the temperature deviation between set temperature and inner air temperature, the narrower the swing ranges of swing louvers of respective center and side FACE blow outlets are set. Regardless of the swing range of the swing louvers, swing cycles of the swing louvers are set constant, and the narrower the swing ranges of the swing louvers, the slower the swing speeds of the swing louvers are set. Therefore, annoying feeling is reduced, and comfortable feeling for passengers is significantly improved.
