A vehicle Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system is not just desirable but is necessary standard equipment even in entry-level vehicles manufactured today. The desire for even more comfort and luxury has led to the development of automatic climate control systems available for luxury models.

The primary purpose of vehicle HVAC systems is to provide a comfortable ride for the driver and onboard passengers. In addition to providing a comfortable ride, the air conditioner also dehumidifies the cabin air, thus preventing windows from fogging up. They also play a key role in terms of safety. Even during extreme conditions, HVAC systems improve safety by demisting the cab environment and defogging the windows in all kinds of weather.

HVAC in passenger cars is a complex system comprising one or more blower motors coupled with many ducts through which air is transferred to the cabin, actuators for airflow, temperature and fogging control, and refrigeration and heating unit in the hood. This course provides an overview of automotive HVAC systems and approaches to climate control systems.
