EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER]

Purpose, Function

• The evaporator temperature sensor detects airflow passing through it and converts the airflow temperature to an electrical signal.

Construction

• A thermistor-type evaporator temperature sensor has been adopted.

  

• A fin-thermo-type sensor has been adopted to the sensor area of the evaporator temperature sensor which inserts between the evaporator fins.

• The evaporator temperature sensor is located on the A/C unit.

Operation

• The thermistor changes the resistance according to the surrounding temperature.

• The resistance decreases if the temperature increases, and increases if the temperature decreases.

Fail-safe

• Not applicable
