Claims19
An air-conditioning apparatus for an electric mobility vehicle, the air-conditioning apparatus comprising:
- a housing which includes a main blower therein and in which air flows when the main blower operates;
- an internal condenser configured to heat air in the housing;
- an evaporator disposed to face the internal condenser and be spaced apart from the internal condenser so that the evaporator cools air in the housing;
- an external condenser disposed to be spaced apart from the evaporator and provided in the housing in a direction in which the internal condenser and the evaporator are arranged;
- an auxiliary blower provided in the housing operable to flow air outside the housing through the internal condenser, the evaporator, and the external condenser;
- a flow channel control door configured to selectively regulate a flow of air caused by the main blower or the auxiliary blower;
- and
- a controller configured to control the flow channel control door so that:
- air flows inside the housing by operation of the main blower when the air is cooled or heated;
- or
- when condensed water of the evaporator is removed and the evaporator is sterilized, air is heated through the internal condenser by operation of the auxiliary blower and then provided to the evaporator.
