Equipped with a vehicle
air conditioning system: comprising a
refrigerant circuit (R, R1, R2, R3): a compressor (2) designed to compress a
refrigerant; an external
heat exchanger (7) designed to effect heat exchange between the
refrigerant and the outside air; a heat emission device (4) designed to heat air supplied into a vehicle compartment; a first
electronic expansion valve (6) which is arranged on a refrigerant inlet side of the external
heat exchanger (7); a refrigerant-heat medium
heat exchanger (64, 91, 93); and a second
electronic expansion valve (73) arranged on a refrigerant inlet side of the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger (64, 91, 93); a heat medium circuit (61, 90, 92) designed to circulate a heat medium to effect heat exchange between the refrigerant and the heat medium in the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger (64, 91, 93); and a
control unit (11) designed to control the refrigerant circuit (R, R1, R2, R3) and the
heat transfer medium circuit (61, 90, 92), wherein the
control unit (11) has heating
modes and is configured to perform heating
modes in heating mode for heating the vehicle compartment using the heat emission device (4), comprising: an outdoor air heat absorption heating mode to absorb heat from the outdoor heat exchanger (7) into the refrigerant discharged by the compressor (2) and to release heat in the heat dissipation device (4); and a
waste heat recovery heating mode to absorb heat from the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger (64, 91, 93) into the refrigerant discharged by the compressor (2) and to release heat in the heat dissipation device (4), and the
control unit (11) is configured to control the first
electronic expansion valve (6) so that it closes, and to control a superheat level of the refrigerant so that it is increased on a downstream side of the refrigerant heat exchanger (64, 91, 93) when the outdoor air heat absorption heating mode is switched to the
waste heat recovery heating mode.
