Abstract: A system for controlling vehicle passenger compartment comfort. An electronic controller receives input from: (i) a thermistor array sensing blower plenum discharge temperature, (ii) a user movable Level Select Control (iii) a potentiometer sensing the position of a servo driven heater core water valve, (iv) an engine rpm tachometer generator and (v) a blower speed signal. The controller drives the servomotor for the water valve at a "High" rate until the valve position potentiometer indicates that the valve is within fifteen degrees (15.degree.) of the target, whereupon the controller drives the servomotor at a "Low" speed.

Abstract: A system for controlling vehicle passenger compartment comfort. An electronic controller receives input from: (i) a thermistor array sensing blower plenum discharge temperature, (ii) a user movable Level Select Control (iii) a potentiometer sensing the position of a servo driven heater core water valve, (iv) an engine rpm tachometer generator and (v) a blower speed signal. The controller employs proportional-integral-derivative (PID) strategy in a microprocessor to generate a control signal for operating the heater core valve servo motor to maintain the plenum discharge air at a constant temperature irrespective of wide swings in engine rpm/water pump speed or user selector changes in blower speed.
