VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING COMPACT KNOWLEDGE FOR THE GARAGE

What is thermal management?

Thermal management means optimum engine temperature in all operating states and
heating and cooling of the vehicle interior. A modern thermal management system
therefore consists of engine cooling and air conditioning components.
Components of these two sub-assemblies which interact with each other often form a
unit. In this booklet we describe modern air conditioning systems and their technical
background. In this context, we also discuss their function, causes of failure, special
features and diagnostic methods
