Sensor for detecting surface area dampness at chiller of vehicle air conditioner, has sensor surface thermally connected with cooling element of chiller, where heating element is provided for heating sensor surface

摘要

The sensor (20) has a sensor surface thermally connected with a cooling element (16) of a chiller (10). A heating element is provided for heating the sensor surface, where a temperature measuring probe is provided for determining the temperature of the sensor surface. A control- and evaluation unit is provided for controlling the heating element. An independent claim is included for a chiller of a vehicle air conditioner to cool the air supplied in the interior of the vehicle.
