A case of thinner panel thickness, a narrower evaporator and condenser, a
smaller expansion valve, a lighter power transistor are used to save weight.
Higher density in the core enhances the cooling performance. Internal temperature
in the evaporator are equalised due to an optimum multi-flow structure and refrigerant circuit,
thus improving comfort.
Openings on the dash panel are sealed securely by adding a cover, etc. to the expansion
valve. Insulation pads are adhered to the HVAC case and the duct, thus improving sound absorption and
insulation against external noise.
A heater/cooling assembly unit is adopted for greater fan power and reduced
noise.
The evaporator and heater core has been longitudinally installed in the vehicle
length, and a crushable space has been ensured so that it absorbs the impact in case of a collision
and reduces the risk of passenger injuries.
Inside air recirculation is controlled by driving the inside/outside damper,
thus improving the heating performance in winter.
The air temperature of the defroster outlets has been set lower than at the foot
outlets to prevent the red glow on face in winter. In order to avoid too cool temperature around
the torso, the air distribution at the side face and foot outlets is optimised.
Clean air filter has been introduced as standard to prevent the intrusion of foreign
materials including pollen, dust and cigarette smoke to improve the air quality inside the passenger compartment.
The installation position of clean air filter has been set to the backside of glove
box to facilitate the filter replacement operation. At the same time, the one-touch tab structure
has been adopted for the cover installation to enable the replacement operation without tools.
The air mixing damper control motors and the air mixing dampers are installed as
shown. The air mixing dampers can be operated independently to allow passengers to set temperature
each for the driver and the front passenger. <Vehicles with DUAL-ZONE AUTO A/C>
