Evaporator
A semi-center location air conditioning unit, in which the evaporator and heater core are placed in the
vehicle's longitudinal direction, is used. As a result, the air conditioning unit has been made compact and
lightweight.
D A revolutionary super-slim structure evaporator is used.
D By placing the tanks at the top and the bottom of the evaporator unit and adopting a micropore tube
construction, the following effects have been realized:
a) The heat exchanging efficiency has been improved.
b) The temperature distribution has been made more uniform.
c) The evaporator has been made thinner. 58 mm (2.3 in.) ! 38 mm (1.5 in.)
D The evaporator body has been coated with a type of resin that contains an antibacterial agent in order to
minimize the source of foul odor and the propagation of bacteria. The substrate below this coating
consists of a chromate-free layer to help protect the environment.
