EQUIPMENT –
Heater And Air Conditioner
7-23
Two-Ray Blow Full Air Mix Heater
In the heater unit, there are two rays of air;one which passes
through the heater core, and air which does not pass through
the core. One air mix door is used for temperature control.
The two-ray blow full mix heater with low ventilation resistance
has increased air volume and has reduced noise.
CONDENSER
The heat exchange efficiency has been improved with the
adoption of a sub-cooling type condenser added with a
sub-cooled section. The reduction of line unions by
incorporating the condenser and receiver has reduced a
possibility of gas leakage and has increased service
performance.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH WITH TEMPERATURE FUSE
When the compressor is locked, friction heat generated by
the contact of the compressor and the rotor melts the
temperature fuse incorporated into the field core and causes
the compressor clutch to be disengaged so that the
compressor clutch with temperature fuse can prevent the
drive belt from being damaged.
