AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. GENERAL


    1. Air Conditioning Unit


      • The air conditioner unit has been made compact and lightweight by placing the evaporator and the heater core horizontally, above and below in the unit, and adopting a film type slide door for the air mix door.

      • An RS evaporator (RS: Revolutionary Super Slim), which is thin and lightweight and has excellent cooling performance, is used.

      • An SFA-II heater core (SFA-II: Straight Flow Aluminum-II), which is compact and lightweight and has superior heating performance, is used in the front heater & cooler unit and the rear heater unit.

      • Heater doors that always recirculate some of the inside air even in refresh mode are used for models with the front air conditioner unit to improve the heating performance.

      • The PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater system contains a PTC heater that heats the air that has passed through the heater core to ensure the proper heater performance.

    2. Other Equipment


      • The previous air conditioner compressor continues to be used on the diesel engine models, and an external control continuously variable capacity air conditioner compressor is used on the TR engine models.

      • The heater control panel is the rotary switch type. A rotating cable control mechanism is used to make the control unit more compact.
