    OBJECTIVESAfter studying Chapter 3, the reader should be able to:Explain the purpose of the heating, ventilation, and airconditioning (HVAC) system in automobiles and other vehicles.Discuss temperature and humidity comfort zones.Explain how heat is measured in both temperature and quantity, using either metric or U.S./British units.

    INTRODUCTIONFor the most part, the HVAC system of an automobile is designed to provide comfort for the driver and passengers. It is intended to maintain in-car temperature and humidity within a range that is comfortable for the people inside and provide fresh, clean air for ventilation.

    INTRODUCTIONThe HVAC system in a vehicle (Figure 3-2) can be divided into three closely related subsystems:Air distribution, also called air management, with the control system: The HVAC case with doors that control the air flow.Heating: The heater core that heats the air.Refrigeration, A/C: The evaporator core that cools the air.

    HEATHeat is a form of basic energy, and, like other forms of energy, heat cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be converted to or from other forms of energy.

    HEAT MEASUREMENTA heating and air-conditioning technician is concerned with measuring two different aspects of heat: intensity and quantity. Intensity is what we feel; it is measured in degrees, on either a Celsius or Fahrenheit scale. Quantity is the actual amount of heat; it is measured in either calories or British thermal units (Btu).

    COMFORTOur goal in heating and air conditioning is to maintain a comfortable in-vehicle temperature and humidity. This is affected by the size of the vehicle, the number of passengers, and the amount of glass area, to name only a few variables.HumidityCleanliness

    COMFORT

    SUMMARYHeat is moved into or out of the passenger compartment to obtain a good comfort level.Heat intensity is measured using the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales, and heat quantity is measured using calories and BTUs.The comfort zone of most humans is between 65 and 80F (21 and 27C).A/C systems reduce humidity by removing water from the air.HVAC systems clean air because particles are caught by moisture on the evaporator and by filters.
