AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM GENERAL


  1. OUTLINE


    1. The automatic air conditioning system uses left and right independent temperature control and neural network control to enhance comfort.

    2. A 3-zone temperature control, which can adjust the temperature of the rear seats independently, is provided in addition to the left and right independent temperature control on some grades.

    3. An inside-and-outside dual air layer type air conditioning unit is used. The upper layer ensures antifogging performance by introducing outside air, and the lower layer aims for ventilation loss reduction by circulating the inside air, thus achieving energy conservation.

    4. An S-FLOW control is used to concentrate the air outlet on the front seats or driver seat only when the temperature and moisture in the cabin are stable, thus aiming for a reduction in the burden on the air conditioning to achieve energy conservation.

    5. A new refrigerant (HFO1234yf) is used depending on model.


      1. Global Warming Potential (GWP) has been significantly reduced by using the new refrigerant, thus contributing to global warming prevention.

  3. MAIN FEATURES


    1. The air conditioning system has the following features:

      High Performance

      • Neural network control is used, so passengers can finely control the air conditioning for maximum comfort.

      • The rear outlets are installed on the back of the center console to ensure confortable cooling performance for the rear passengers.

      • A pollen-removal type clean air filter, which has a pollen-and-odor removal effect, is used.

      • Micro dust and pollen filter mode control is used to remove pollen in the area around the upper part of the bodies of the driver and front passenger.

      • The blower control has 7 levels in manual mode and 31 levels in auto mode for more precise control.

      • The Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater system is used. This system contains a PTC heater that heats the air that has passed through the heater radiator unit sub-assembly to ensure proper heater performance.

      • A [nanoe]* generator is provided under the multi-media module receiver assembly to improve the air quality and comfort in the cabin.
      Lightweight

      • A bus connector with a built-in IC is used in a lightweight wire harness design to allow a reduced number of wires.

      • The use of this connector means that pulse pattern type servo motors are used.
      Compact A blower motor with a built-in blower motor controller is used to achieve a compact construction.
      Others

      The following parts are used to ensure high cooling performance while achieving a compact and lightweight construction:


      • ES27C type electric inverter compressor

      • Semi-center Location Air Conditioning Unit

      • Revolutionary Super-slim Structure (RS) Evaporator

      • Straight Flow Aluminum-II (SFA-II) Heater Radiator Sub-assembly

      • Multi-Flow-III (MF-III) Sub-cool Condenser
