DIAVIA retrofit air conditioners – professional technology!

Air conditioners are a genuine all-round talents. Equipped with advanced technology and used properly, they creates a pleasant climate in the car – with the perfect temperature and a clear, unobstructed all-around view.

How does a vehicle air conditioner work?
An air conditioner works to the principle of a heat pump, the similar way as household refrigerators. Its main part is a compressor which is driven by the vehicle engine via a V-belt and magnetic clutch. Using a refrigerant flowing in a closed cycle, the compressor transfers heat from inside the car to the outside. So it doesn’t “generate cold” but extracts heat from the air inside the vehicle. In the process, the air is dehumidified by condensing its moisture on the evaporator surface. The pleasing result: clear, mist-free windows all around, even at high atmospheric humidity.

How to use an air conditioner properly
The theory behind using an air conditioner properly is simple: a few settings, that’s all. Even on a hot summer day, your car will be cool and comfortable in no time at all.

An air conditioner takes merely five minutes to cool an unbearable 60°C to an endurable 30°C. After ten minutes, you’ll have a pleasant 25°C, and another ten minutes later, you won’t feel the heat outside anymore. The air conditioner is equally useful and efficient when the windows are steamed up. Press a button and the windows are clear in a trice. The car’s ventilation system would take considerably longer to achieve the same effect, even if it was running at full speed.

Perfect climate – fully automatically
DIAVIA’s electronic climate control air conditioner guarantees an optimum in-car climate at all times. The ECC features sophisticated electronics for precise operation and a long service life. Its main part is a purpose-built electronic system that controls all A/C, heating and ventilation functions to maintain the temperature at the preset level.

Simply set the desired temperature and leave all the rest to your automatic A/C. ECC air conditioners can remain switched on all the time, even in winter. This means ultimate comfort and ease of operation for drivers and passengers.

A vehicle air conditioner means more comfort, more value, more safety and better health. And, on top of all that, it is so easy to use.
