THERMAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A CABIN OF A VEHICLE

摘要

Thermal control system and method for a cabin of a vehicle comprising a thermal unit providing an air flow,three air circuits each air circuit being capable of directing an air sub flow towards the cabin through at least one opening located respectively in a distinct first, second and third distribution areas in the cabin; an electronic control unit capable of automatically controlling the air flow temperature and the air flow rate, a distribution input device (32) for manually causing the system to implement a user defined air distribution - i.e. the respective rates of the air sub flows - which enables the user to customize the air distribution in place of a predetermined air distribution determined by the system; at least a storing input device (40) for causing the memorization of a current and preferred air distribution and at least a recall input device (40) for causing, when the user wishes to, the system to recall said memorized air distribution while the air flow temperature and the air flow rate are automatically controlled by the electronic control unit in a semi-automatic mode.
