Vehicle air conditioning device

A vehicle air conditioning apparatus comprising:

• a compressor for compressing a refrigerant;
• a radiator for causing the refrigerant to dissipate heat to heat air to be supplied into a cabin;
• an outdoor heat exchanger provided outside the cabin;
• and
• a control device, wherein
• the control device executes at least an air conditioning operation for heating inside of the cabin by causing the refrigerant discharged from the compressor to dissipate heat in the radiator, decompressing the refrigerant heat-dissipated, and then causing the refrigerant to absorb heat in the outdoor heat exchanger,
• the vehicle air conditioning apparatus comprises an equipment temperature adjusting device capable of adjusting, using the refrigerant, a temperature of a battery and a temperature of a predetermined temperature-adjusted object other than the battery, the battery and the temperature-adjusted object being mounted on a vehicle,
• the control device has a heating/waste heat recovery mode for cooling the temperature-adjusted object without cooling the battery with the refrigerant by controlling the equipment temperature adjusting device in the air conditioning operation for heating the inside of the cabin, and
• when the temperature of the temperature-adjusted object or a value of an index indicating the temperature of the temperature-adjusted object increases to a predetermined upper limit threshold or higher, the control device executes the heating/waste heat recovery mode.
