Abstract
A method for controlling an air conditioning device of an electrified vehicle includes determining, by a controller, whether an active air flap is closed in response to an operation signal of the active air flap of the electrified vehicle, when an electric compressor provided in an air conditioner of the air conditioning device of the electrified vehicle is operated, when the active air flap is closed, controlling, by the controller, opening of an intake door provided in the air conditioning device to increase an amount of internal circulating air of the air conditioner, and when the amount of the internal circulating air of the air conditioner is increased, decreasing, by the controller, a speed of the electric compressor.

A method for controlling an air conditioning device of an electrified vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, by a controller, whether an active air flap is closed in response to an operation signal of the active air flap of the electrified vehicle, when an electric compressor provided in an air conditioner of the air conditioning device of the electrified vehicle is operated;
- when the active air flap is closed, controlling, by the controller, opening of an intake door provided in the air conditioning device to increase an amount of internal circulating air of the air conditioner;
- and
- when the amount of the internal circulating air of the air conditioner is increased, decreasing, by the controller, a speed of the electric compressor.
An apparatus configured for controlling an air conditioning device of an electrified vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- an active air flap provided at a front side of the electrified vehicle and configured to, by being opened, cool a condenser of an air conditioner condensing a refrigerant transferred from an electric compressor provided in the air conditioner of the electrified vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to determine whether the active air flap is closed in response to an operation signal of the active air flap when the electric compressor is operated,
- wherein, when the active air flap is closed, the controller is configured to control opening of an intake door provided in the air conditioning device to increase an amount of an internal circulating air of the air conditioner, and
- when the amount of the internal circulating air of the air conditioner is increased, the controller is configured to decrease a speed of the electric compressor.
