• Cold Storage Evaporator

  Cold storage evaporator technology was developed to maintain a consistently comfortable interior when in ISG (idle stop and go) mode and also improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle when slowing or stopping. When a vehicle stops the compressor of the air conditioner also stops as it is driven by a belt attached directly to the engine. This makes it impossible for the air conditioner to maintain the target interior temperature. The role of the cold storage evaporator is similar to that of existing evaporators attached to an HVAC module, however this type delays the time when the air conditioner restarts to its maximum level in order to maintain proper interior temperature while the engine is stopped thereby improving fuel efficiency when in ISG mode.
