ABSTRACT:
A control system for an automotive air conditioning system includes temperature sensors at the evaporator and at the compressor of the air conditioning system and a controller responsive to signals from the sensors to control cycling of the compressor clutch. The controller is operative to monitor the cycle rate of the compressor clutch (i.e., the duration for which the clutch is engaged in any given cycle) and to provide command signals to control air conditioning system when the clutch cycle rate exceeds or falls below predetermined values. The controller is programmed so that at a predetermined level of sensed humidity in the vehicle to change the predetermined evaporator temperature values at which the clutch is engaged or disengaged so as to change the moisture content in the air flowing across the evaporator before it is supplied to the interior of the vehicle. The system includes humidity controller in the interior of the vehicle for sensing the relative humidity of the air within the vehicle, wherein the control means is also adapted to adjust the humidity of the conditioned air in response to signals from the humidity sensor.
