Benefits of technology

[0007]A general object of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger for use in a vehicular air conditioning apparatus, which is capable of preventing freezing in the heat exchanger due to moisture becoming frozen and adhering to surfaces of the heat exchanger, in order to obtain stable operating characteristics.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the ventilation passageways inside the evaporator become narrowed, and there is a concern that the cooling effectiveness of the evaporator will be deteriorated.

Abstract

In an evaporator that constitutes part of a vehicular air conditioning apparatus, a sensor is provided, which is capable of detecting the temperature in the evaporator. In the evaporator, the sensor is installed on a back surface side thereof facing a downstream side, and on a first cooling section, through which air from a first blower unit flows. Also, the sensor is installed at a position in the vicinity of a supply conduit that supplies a coolant medium with respect to the evaporator. At a region where a maximum low temperature in the evaporator occurs, and for which there is a fear of freezing due to moisture contained within the air, the temperature is detected by the sensor.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a heat exchanger, which is installed in a vehicular air conditioning apparatus that performs temperature adjustment of a vehicle compartment, whereby the heat exchanger is used by the vehicular air conditioning apparatus for cooling and heating of air that is blown into the vehicle compartment.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In a vehicular air conditioning apparatus that is mounted in a vehicle, internal and external air is drawn into a casing by a blower, and after cooled air, which has been cooled by a heat exchanger that forms a cooling means, and heated air, which has been heated by a heat exchanger that forms a heating means, are mixed together in the casing at a predetermined mixing ratio, the mixed air is blown out from defroster blow-out ports, face blow-out ports, or foot blow-out ports arranged in the vehicle compartment, whereby adjustment of temperature and humid...
