What are the functions of a car's dual-zone air conditioning?

The function of a car's dual-zone air conditioning is to meet the different temperature needs of each individual as much as possible, thereby improving the comfort of driving and riding. The implementation method of dual-zone automatic air conditioning mainly involves adding some air vents on the inner side of the car, minimizing the central air vents, and then separately controlling the airflow on both sides. The automatic air conditioning control system consists of four parts: 1. Sensor section, specifically responsible for temperature information feedback; 2. System control center, which is the air conditioner control component ECU; 3. Control components, including the air conditioning system condenser motor, evaporator motor, etc., as well as the mixed air motor and air flow mode motor, used to control the combination of cold and warm air, and to open or close the front, side, and foot air vents; 4. Self-check and alarm section.
When driving out with family, the dual-zone climate control is a lifesaver. I can set the front temperature to 22°C while keeping the rear at 25°C for the kids and elderly, ensuring everyone's comfort without the old temperature disputes. It's especially practical in summer—those sensitive to heat in the back can cool their zone independently to avoid catching a cold, while the sun-exposed front can quickly cool down for comfort. During long trips, adjusting airflow direction and intensity via the central console avoids disturbing others' rest. Overall, it reduces fatigue and makes the journey more pleasant and cozy.
