Comfortable conditions in the cabin are created by a special system that regulates the temperature and humidity of the air. It was called "climate control", which quite accurately reflects its purpose and functions.

 

Similar systems, of varying degrees of complexity, are equipped with most modern cars. Information about its availability is available in the technical documentation in the configuration section.

Car manufacturers and their dealers often mention this system in their product advertisements in an attempt to emphasize its benefits. A natural question arises: what is climate control in a car and what are its main functions? For a detailed answer, it is necessary to understand the purpose, principle of operation, device and features of the operation of this system.

The first device designed to create a comfortable microclimate in the car was the stove. Part of the thermal energy generated during engine operation is used for heating.

At low temperatures, outside air is blown into the passenger compartment through a separate fan and warms it up. Such a system is primitive and cannot create and maintain comfortable conditions, especially if it is hot outside.

What is climate control in a car, apartment?

Air conditioning is an intelligent system made up of a number of different devices to maintain indoor comfort.

In the car, it ensures the comfort of a person and the absence of fogging of glasses while driving.

The air conditioner option for an apartment is more complicated in terms of equipment. But in both cases, the systems work uninterrupted all year round without adjustments for weather conditions outside the cabin/walls and outside air temperature.

SYNC system: control of vehicle functions on command

Progress and advanced technologies in the automotive world do not stand still. Tens of thousands of engineers and designers from all over the world are working in the field of improving automotive technology and everything connected with it. For example, Nuance Communications and Ford Motor Company, an American auto giant, recently presented their developments in the field of intuitive human voice recognition systems in cars.

At the moment, the companies are working on a system that will interpret the speech of the driver of the car and intuitively control the functions of the car. This car system will have a strong ability to control various functions. Based on the driver's keywords, the voice recognition system will intuitively understand the user's commands, even if the command was given inaccurately.

In America, the SYNC multimedia system has already been implemented and installed in more than 4 vehicles. This year, vehicles with SYNC will be available in Europe on Fiesta, Focus, C-Max and Transit models.

The SYNC system supports the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian (!!!), Turkish, Dutch and Spanish. In the future, it is planned to increase the number of supported languages ​​to 19. SYNC allows drivers to give voice instructions "Play Artist" (with the name of the called artist); "Call" (in this case, the name of the subscriber is called).

In emergency situations, the system also provides assistance to the injured driver. In the event of an accident, the SYNC system helps drivers and passengers notify emergency operators of the accident. Naturally, this is done in the appropriate language.

The creators of the SYNC system have very ambitious plans and plan to bring the number of system users to 2020 people worldwide by 13.

What is the difference between climate control and air conditioning in a car, apartment: comparison, pros and cons

the drawn man thought about the difference between air conditioning and climate control

In a car, the difference between air conditioning and air conditioning lies in a number of parameters:

• The comfort of being in the cabin. With climate control more, since the air conditioner only cools the air and dehumidifies it so that the windows do not fog up.
• Comfort of use. In the first option, a person selects a mode that is supported automatically, in the second, he sets the necessary parameters manually.
• Personal approach. Currently, there are climate control systems to create personal comfort for each passenger in the car. Air conditioners do not have this capability.

The difference between the considered devices in the apartment is similar. You can easily create the right microclimate for every room in your apartment. This is what the climate control system does.

However, there is one caveat: you can not turn on the air conditioner for heating in sub-zero temperatures outside the window, with the exception of its expensive representatives.

A significant disadvantage of the climate control system is its high cost and the cost of repair in the event of a breakdown. If it is included in the car, it automatically becomes much more expensive than its air-conditioned "brothers". The same is true for apartments.

Year-round climate control in the apartment creates more comfortable conditions for a person than air conditioning:

• has “brains”, intelligent control, due to which the mode changes during operation,
• consists of a set of devices: ionizers, humidifiers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, underfloor heating system, supply and exhaust ventilation, climate change control sensors in the living room and outside it,
• able to maintain the minimum allowable temperature in the absence of people in the room.

Backlight not working

Some car owners are faced with a situation where the illumination of the "Mode" and "A / C" buttons disappears.

In this case, do the following (using Toyota Windom as an example):

• Remove climate control. To do this, you will have to disassemble the registrar and part of the torpedo;
• Loosen one self-tapping screw on the sides of the device and remove the latches;
• We unscrew the bolts on the board;
• Inspect the sockets and the bulbs themselves to make sure they are intact.
• Solder the wires if there are problems or replace the lamp.

In some cars, such as the Mercedes-Benz E-class, to remove the climate control, it is not necessary to disassemble half of the dashboard, it is enough to use special cutters.

They can be found under the catalog number W 00, and the cost of production is only 100 rubles.

For disassembly, simply insert these knives into the special slots provided on the air conditioner's "AUTO" button. Then remove the device without disassembling the panel elements.

If it was not possible to find special keys, the use of two female nail files is allowed. Insert them into the special slots and pull the climate control towards you.

If the backlight does not work, it remains to find a base with a light bulb (with a high probability that it has burned out). Take the lamp and go to the store to buy the same item.

In this case, it is better to install an ordinary light bulb, from which a pleasant yellowish light comes. You can install an LED, but it must be diffused, not directional.

Another reason for the backlight not working is the failure of the resistor. Below is a malfunction using the Renault Laguna 2 as an example.

On closer inspection, you can see the crack that sometimes appears between the resistor and the track.
