Air-mixing
| Air-mixing |
The air temperature from the heater box is affected by the fan speed as well as the position of the air-mixing dampers. For certain markets, the coolant flow through the heater box can be completely closed off through a vacuum- operated coolant shut-off valve in order to achieve maximum cooling effect (applies to cars with A/C). This solenoid valve is activated when the climate control system is to provide maximum cold.
Depending on the desired heat/temperature position, the air-mixing dampers direct a certain amount of the incoming air through the heater box.
If the "cold air" position has been selected, the air-mixing dampers are closed and the air is prevented from reaching the heater box.
