The present invention is directed to a control apparatus for use in an automotive air conditioning system which includes a variable capacity-type refrigerant compressor. The automotive air conditioning system comprises a refrigerant circuit including a refrigerant compressor with an externally controlled, variable capacity control mechanism; an evaporator connected to a suction chamber of the compressor; and a control apparatus which controls refrigerant circuit operation. The control apparatus includes an adjusting device for adjusting a control point of the compressor suction chamber pressure. During operation of the automotive air conditioning system, the control point of the compressor suction chamber pressure is adjusted to effectively maintain the temperature of air immediately downstream from the evaporator at the set temperature. In one situation in which the automotive air conditioning system is operated in a static thermodynamic condition of the evaporator, the control point of the compressor suction chamber pressure is adjusted to effectively converge the temperature of air immediately downstream from the evaporator to the set temperature. In another situation in which the automotive air conditioning system is operated in a dynamic thermodynamic condition of the evaporator, the control point of the compressor suction chamber is also adjusted to effectively converge the temperature of air immediately downstream from the set temperature. Accordingly, the passenger compartment of the automobile can be more effectively air conditioned during operation of the automotive air conditioning system.
