Comfort
Comfort
A basic requirement for concentrated and safe driving is the feeling of comfort in the passenger compartment. This feeling of comfort can only be achieved by using the air-conditioner, especially under extreme temperatures and high air humidity. Of course, an open window or sun roof or increased air flow, but there are disadvantages in the passenger compartment, for example: Increased noise, draft, exhaust gases and unfiltered entry of pollen (unpleasant for allergy sufferers).
   
A well regulated air conditioning system in conjunction with a well thought-out heating and ventilation system can create a feeling of well-being and comfort by regulating the interior temperature, humidity and rate of air change, regardless of the external conditions. This can be done both with the vehicle stopped or in motion.
Other important advantages of the air-conditioner are:
t  The purity of the air that enters the vehicle (the humid fins of the evaporator retain dust, for example, and expose of it together with the condensed water).
t  Temperatures in a middle class car (e.g.: after driving for a short while, exterior temperature of 30 °C in the shade, and vehicle exposed to direct sunlight).
