Advantages of the air conditioning system - comfort
One of the basic requirements for a concentrated and safe driving is the feeling of comfort in the vehicle interior. This comfort is only possible through the use of an air conditioning system, especially in warm temperatures and at high humidity. Open windows, a sunroof or a higher air flow rate certainly contribute to the comfort, but there are disadvantages for the vehicle interior, such as: additional noise, draught, exhaust, unfiltered infiltration of pollen and dust (unpleasant for allergy sufferers).
Through a controlled air conditioning system, in combination with a well-designed heating and ventilation system, the feeling of well-being and comfort can be achieved by controlling the indoor temperature, humidity and air movement, according to the external conditions. This is possible when the vehicle is stationary as well as when driving.
