Heating and Air Conditioning
Description and Operation, Components: Heating and Defrosting
The heating and defrosting system:
- controls the vehicle air temperature and, during A/C operation, reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the vehicle.
- delivers heated or cooled air to maintain the vehicle interior temperature and comfort level.
- controls the A/C blower motor speed.
- allows temperature to be adjusted individually by the driver and the passenger to maintain comfort.
- uses a reheat method to provide conditioned air to the passenger compartment. All airflow from the blower motor passes through the A/C evaporator core and the heater core. Temperature is regulated by reheating the air out of the evaporator core to achieve the desired temperature.
- controls the air temperature by regulating the flow of engine coolant to separate halves of the heater core. A dual solenoid actuated valve is used to control the flow of coolant.
The blower motor draws outside air through the air inlet filter and duct or draws recirculated air through the recirculated air duct.
Heater Core
The heater core consists of fins and tubes arranged to extract heat from the engine coolant and transfer it to air passing through the heater core. The heater core is separated into two sections. Air passing through one section is directed to the driver side of the vehicle, while air passing through the other section is directed to the passenger side of the vehicle. The heater core has separate inlet ports with a common outlet port.
Blower Motor
The A/C blower motor pulls air from the air inlet and forces it into the evaporator housing and plenum assembly (which is attached to the instrument panel) where it is distributed.
Dual Coolant Control Valve
The dual coolant valves regulates the flow of engine coolant to each half of the heater core. Two electric solenoids, which are individually actuated by the DATC module, are the control elements. The valve contains five ports.
