Vehicle Air Conditioning Device
Vehicle air conditioning device comprising a bypass pipe which passes a radiator and an outdoor expansion valve, and opening/closing valves. A control device executes a heating mode to open solenoid valve 30 and close solenoid valve 40, and a dehumidifying and heating mode to close the solenoid valve 30, open solenoid valve 40, let a refrigerant radiate heat in outdoor heat exchanger 7, let the refrigerant absorb heat in heat absorber 9, and generate heat in auxiliary heater 23. When changing from the heating mode to the dehumidifying and heating mode, the control device sends the refrigerant to receiver drier portion 14, controls a compressor to reduce a difference between pressures before and after the solenoid valve 40, opens solenoid valve 40, closes solenoid valve 30, shuts off the outdoor expansion valve, and shifts the compressor to control in the dehumidifying and heating mode.

Electrically-driven compressor for vehicle
When the magnitude of a motor current Iu is smaller than a threshold value at a timing when a polarity of the motor current Iu is expected to be reversed after the elapse of one control cycle, a control device sets a correction amount of a width of a pulse generated by PWM control at a correction amount +. When the magnitude of the motor current is greater than the threshold value at the timing, the control device sets the correction amount of the width of the pulse generated by the PWM control at zero or a value smaller than the correction amount +. As a result, an error of a dead time period in inverter control can be reduced.
