An acoustic wave generation unit oscillates working fluid of 35 atm or less so as to generate acoustic waves with a frequency in a range from 50 Hz or more and 500 Hz or less. A heat/acoustic wave conversion component has a partition wall of 5.0 W/mK or less between two end faces which defines a plurality of cells of 620 cells/cm.sup.2 or more and 3100 cells/cm.sup.2 or less. A heat exchanger disposed close to one end face receives heat from a first external air flowing into the heat exchanger and gives the heat to the one end face so as to flow out a cold air. Another heat exchanger disposed close to the other end face receives heat from the other end face and gives the heat to a second external air flowing into the another heat exchanger so as to flow out a warm air.

An air conditioning apparatus includes an electric compressor, an inverter, a temperature detection element, and an ECU. The electric compressor compresses a refrigerant drawn from a refrigerant intake port and discharges the refrigerant from a refrigerant discharge port. The inverter is integrated with the electric compressor so as to be cooled by the drawn refrigerant, and operates the electric compressor according to a control signal. The temperature detection element detects a temperature of the inverter. The ECU outputs a control signal to control the inverter. The ECU performs any one or both of a control for reducing a self-cooling amount of the electric compressor and a control for increasing a self-heat generation amount of the inverter with respect to the inverter when the temperature detected by the temperature detection element is lower than a predetermined reference temperature.
