PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner for a vehicle capable of restricting combustion and explosion of combustible refrigerant in comparison with a conventional case wherein danger avoiding processing is performed after a collision occurred by performing the danger avoiding processing for preventing combustion and explosion of the combustible refrigerant before a collision ocuurrs. SOLUTION: This air conditioner for a vehicle has a cabin-inside heat exchanger 6 and a cabin-outside heat exchanger 13, and the combustible refrigerant discharged from a compressor 12 is led to the cabin-inside heat exchanger 6 directly or through an expanding means 14, and the air, of which heat is exchanged, is supplied into a cabin. This air conditioner for a vehicle is provided with a collision estimating means S30 for estimating collision of the vehicle, opening/closing valves 15 and 16 provided in a refrigerant inlet side and a refrigerant outlet side of the cabin-inside heat exchanger, and a control amplifier 17 for controlling the opening/closing valves and the compressor to fix or reduce quantity of the refrigerant inside the cabin-inside heat exchanger when the collision estimating means S 30 estimates the generation of collision.
