<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner for a fuel cell vehicle which performs heating during the normal operation of a fuel cell vehicle while suppressing the deterioration of the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: The air conditioner for the fuel cell vehicle includes: a cooling system 500, which regulates the temperature of a fuel cell 2; a heater core 61, which recovers at least a part of exhaust heat of the fuel cell 2 via the cooling system 500 and uses the heat for heating the inside of a cabin; and a heat generation means 2, which generates the heat for the heating of the fuel cell vehicle. The air conditioner calculates a consumption amount of a fuel required for the fuel cell 2 to generate electric power of a total power generation amount (Peh+Pv) of the sum of a power generation amount for heating and a power generation amount for running, calculates an optimum temperature Tfcc, a temperature of the fuel cell 2 at the time when the consumption amount of the fuel is minimized, and controls the cooling system 500 so that the temperature of the fuel cell 2 is set to the optimum temperature Tfcc. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
