Car air conditioning

Car air conditioning

Car air conditioning is the air conditioning installed in a car or other vehicle.

Generally, cars have an air conditioning system with separate airflow adjustment for driver and front passenger sides. This enables each occupant to adjust how much air leaves the vents, which consequently alters the cooling rate in their vicinity of the car interior (through convection).

One of the most advanced system is the Thermotronic that maintains and regulates the temperature of every seat in accordance with a sophisticated set of sensors which measure temperature, sunlight, humidity and even pollutant levels in the ambient air, causing all openings to close automatically.
