FOGGING SUPPRESSION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

To appropriately control a fogging suppression function.SOLUTION: A fogging suppression apparatus 1 that suppresses fogging of a window 2 of transportation equipment is provided, comprising: acquisition means 51 that acquires an external temperature Tout of the transportation equipment; heating means 20 that heats the window 2, the heating means differing from an air conditioning means 40 including a blower provided in the transportation equipment; and control means 30 that controls the heater 20 so as to heat the window 2 when the external temperature Tout of the transportation equipment is lower than or equal to a predetermined temperature T0 and there is a request for activation of the air conditioning means 40.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】曇り抑制機能を適切に制御する。【解決手段】輸送機器のウインドウ２の曇りを抑制する曇り抑制装置１は、前記輸送機器の外部温度Ｔｏｕｔを取得する取得手段５１と、前記輸送機器に設けられたブロワーを有する空調手段４０とは異なり、前記ウインドウ２を加熱する加熱手段２０と、前記輸送機器の外部温度Ｔｏｕｔが所定温度Ｔ０以下で且つ前記空調手段４０に対する作動要求があるとき、前記ウインドウ２を加熱するように前記加熱手段２０を制御する制御手段３０と、を有する。【選択図】図３
