Climate Control Unit / Temperature Control Unit
The Automatic Climate Control system is the most advanced of all the air conditioning systems in cars. It effectively controls the cabin temperature and humidity levels. In Climate Control, you can set the cabin temperature of your choice. However, the system controls it regardless of the outside air temperature and humidity. Some advanced systems offer Dual-zone climate control with automatic recirculation mode.
The automatic climate control system provides an individual feel-good climate for the occupants. It automatically controls the temperature, airflow, and air distribution inside the cabin. The climate control system also controls the fan speed and air circulation.
In some cases, the automatic climate control system provides electronic regulation of the air temperature, air flow rate, and air distribution. Some systems provide defroster nozzles for the windscreen and side windows to eliminate the fogging effect. Nowadays, budget cars also offer an Automatic Air-Conditioner (a step-down version of Automatic Climate Control) with a touch screen panel for ease of use.
Such a system will set the Desired Temperature (speed of cooling and/or heating, etc.) and once the engine has been started, a thermostat opens the air-conditioner below this value, according to the driving speed. This can significantly reduce fuel consumption, and increase driver safety and comfort. Air-conditioning take-off and landing (ATOL) require a special type of air-conditioner system which is usually realized as an air-conditioning system with a special refrigerant.
