ABSTRACT:
An automotive air conditioning system comprises a heat pump type refrigerant circuit charged with a first refrigerant and includes first and second internal heat exchangers disposed within an air conditioning duct and an external heat exchanger located outside the duct. A plurality of electromagnetic valves are selectively operated so that in one operational state the external heat exchanger performs as an evaporator and the second internal heat exchanger performs as a condenser, and such that in another operational state the external heat exchanger and the first internal heat exchanger perform as evaporators and the second internal heat exchanger performs as a condenser. A first pressure equalizing type expansion valve mechanism associated with the external heat exchanger has a P-T characteristic curve wherein a static superheat curve intersects with a saturated first refrigerant vapor curve when the temperature of the first refrigerant immediately upstream of the external heat exchanger is in a low range. A second pressure equalizing type expansion valve mechanism has a P-T characteristic curve wherein a static superheat curve generally extends parallel to a saturated first refrigerant vapor curve.
