CITROEN CX 2000 Repair Manual page 366

Operating principle :
Both electric fans ( 12) and ( 14) cool the engine coolant in the radiator. Electric fan ( 14) cools the condenser
when the compressor expels the air-conditioning cooling fluid under pressure.
Simultaneous supply to fans (12) and (14) :
This is carried out by means of contacts in relays
( 1 ) and ( 9). The fl ow of current in the energizinq winding of
relays ( 1 ) and ( 9) therefore operates both electric fans simultaneously.
The relay windings are supplied when
- ignition is switched on
* thermal
switch ( 13) controlled by the coolant temperature in the radiator is off.
_-
Supply to supplementary electric fan ( 14) alone :
This is carried out by contacts in relay ( 8) when its energizing winding is supplied
The relay winding is supplied when
- ignition is on
- air-conditioning switch ( 4) is off
a contact
on the ambient temperature thermostat ( 3) is closed.
Supply to the electro-magnetic clutch for the compressor :
The clutch supply is a function of the following
- Air-conditioning switch (4)
- Ambient temperature thermostat ( 3 )
- High pressure
switch ( 5).
Supply to the blower ( 15) :
This is carried out by resistors ( 16) of the rheostat.
This rheostat controls the speed of the blower ( 3-speed )
and consequently, the volume of displaced air.
