1. OVERVIEW

The climate system in the vehicle is an air regulating system which keeps the indoor air pleasant through 

the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The air conditioning systems fall in to two 

categories; FATC (Full Automatic Temperature Control), which is a temperature control device which 

receives signals from various sensors (ambient temperature sensor, water temperature sensor, sun-

load sensor, AMP sensor) and control switches to control the blower motor and all kinds of actuator 

(mode door actuator, mix door actuator, air source door actuator) through MICOM in the FATC, 

therefore, the interior temperature of the vehicle is kept to the temperature which is set by a driver and 

MTC (Manual Temperature Control), which controls all the actuator and blower motor by the driver.

2. LAYOUT

1) Exterior Layout

Liquid and suction pipe

The high/low-pressure A/C refrigerant flows 
through this pipe. It is fitted with the refrigerant 
pressure sensor.  

Electric fan

It cools down the A/C condenser to speed up the 
compression for the refrigerant in the condenser.

Refrigerant pressure sensor

It is mounted to the latter part of the right 
headlamp. It converts the A/C refrigerant pressure
to voltage value and sends it to the engine ECU.

A/C compressor

It is installed to the left side of the engine 
assembly, compresses the low-temperature and 
low-pressure coolant and converts it to the high-
temperature and high-pressure coolant. Then, it 
sends the coolant to the A/C condenser.

A/C condenser & receiver drier

It is installed in front of vehicle and condenses vapor 
refrigerant into low temperature and high pressure liquid 
refrigerant. The receiver drier is built in it.

Ambient temperature sensor

It is mounted to the front section of the 
vehicle and detects the ambient 
temperature to send the voltage value 
according to the resistance change to 
the heater and A/C control assembly. 

Engine ECU

It controls the A/C compressor, electric fan 
and PTC heater according to the signal from 
the A/C control panel.

Expansion valve

It is mounted to the inlet of the evaporator 
core and supplies the appropriate quantity 
of refrigerant to the evaporator.
