Duovalve, function - GF83.20-P-2100-01I
Function
The duovalves for the automatic air conditioning are controlled directly by the automatic A/C pushbutton control module using on/off control and control the coolant flow through the heater core separately for the left and right side. The closing and opening times of the duovalves per cycle depend upon the deviation between the actual temperature and the set temperature.
Control principle
The electro magnetic coil in the duovalves is actuated by the automatic A/C pushbutton control module. This allows the hot water quantity flowing through the heater core to be controlled separately for the left and right side. The duovalves are open when not under power.
