What is the function of the air conditioning in a car?
1 Answers
Automotive air conditioning is composed of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components. It is an air conditioning system used to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle, providing a comfortable environment for passengers. The following is an introduction to the functions of air conditioning: 1. Temperature regulation: This is the primary function of automotive air conditioning. In summer, the cooling system produces cold air to lower the temperature inside the vehicle; in winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters for heating, other vehicles generally utilize the residual heat from the engine for heating. 2. Humidity regulation: Humidity significantly affects the thermal comfort of passengers inside the vehicle. The humidity inside the cabin should generally be maintained between 30% and 70%. Ordinary automotive air conditioning systems do not have the function of regulating humidity; only ventilation devices or advanced luxury vehicles equipped with integrated heating and cooling air conditioners can achieve this. 3. Airflow regulation: The velocity and direction of airflow greatly impact human comfort. If the air is blowing directly, the velocity should be limited to a certain range when the temperature is appropriate. The velocity can be adjusted according to the passengers' living environment, age, health condition, and habits regarding cold and heat. 4. Air purification: The quality of air inside the cabin is an important guarantee of comfort.
