VEHICULAR AIR CONDITIONER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular air conditioner executing air-conditioning control with a high accuracy in consideration of an influence brought about, for instance, when a window is open in solar radiation correction control based on a surface temperature by a non-contact temperature sensor. SOLUTION: The vehicular air conditioner is provided with IR sensors 70, 71 detecting the surface temperature at the plurality of regions in the vehicle compartment, solar radiation sensors 83a, 83b detecting the amount of solar radiation irradiated in the vehicle room, and the air conditioner ECU 8 executing air-conditioning control by calculating the amount of air-conditioning correction in the vehicle room based on the surface temperature detected by the IR sensors 70, 71. When the air conditioner ECU 8 determines that there is no solar radiation based on the amount of solar radiation detected by the solar radiation sensors 83a, 83b, it decreases the amount of air-conditioning correction based on the detected surface temperature compare to that in a case where it determines that there is solar radiation.
