System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The A/C-heater system consists of refrigeration system, heater system, air distribution system and mode/temperature control system. In automatic mode, system determines appropriate air intake location, air discharge location, fan speed, and discharge air temperature, based on selected temperature settings and information provided by system's network of sensors.
Aurora uses a Cycling Clutch Orifice Tube (CCOT) system. The VDOT compressor can maintain A/C demand under all conditions without cycling on and off.
