DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Air direction flap
Flap moves across mixing chamber to direct the air
flow away from the heater matrix.
Air temperature flap
Control at HOT, flaps fully closed. All air flow passes
through heater matrix. As control is moved towards
COLD the flaps progressively open directing air flow
away from the heater matrix.
Control at COLD, flaps fully open.
V8 Engine: When both controls are at COLD, 2
micro-switches are closed and operate a vacuum
valve which closes the coolant valve.
Air conditioning
When an air conditioning unit is fitted, the mechanical
operation of the heater controls remains unaltered.
However the air conditioning evaporator is positioned
in front of the mixing chamber through which all air
flow passes.
