climate control

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. "Refrigeration" is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR, or "ventilation" is dropped, as in HACR (as in the designation of HACR-rated circuit breakers).
HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as single family homes, apartment buildings, hotels, and senior living facilities; medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and hospitals; vehicles such as cars, trains, airplanes, ships and submarines; and in marine environments, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors.
Ventilating or ventilation (the "V" in HVAC) is the process of exchanging or replacing air in any space to provide high indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases. Ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, introduces outside air, keeps interior building air circulating, and prevents stagnation of the interior air. Methods for ventilating a building are divided into mechanical/forced and natural types.

    Front Demist button stuck

    Front demist button has been sticking the last few days, either won’t come on or go off. I can go into the home page to turn it off so just wondering if the problem is the button.

    smart functions

    I have noticed the I smart app for the ZS Hybrid has less functions than my previous ZS. On the original you had the choice of several directions of diverting the heat, this only seems to allow 'air con' facility which does not clear the screen on cold mornings, in fact even set to maximum heat...

    Remote defrost and heating not working

    Hi I bought my FL MG5 SE in September 2024. During last winter the remote defrost and heating never worked from the ISMART App. It turns the fans on but it’s always cold. The defrost/heating works fine when I’m driving the car. I contacted the email in the App and the reply said take it to the...

    Climate control popup issues

    Whenever I'm on Android Auto and try to change anything to do with the climate control using the physical buttons, I get a pop-up that overlays the Android Auto screen. However, it gets stuck on the display, which crashes, and I have to reset it by holding the home button, which affects the MG...

    Cabin pre-heat

    Hi, Can I pre-heat the cabin via the app in the ZS Hybrid+ The MG website says "Pre-set climate for your next trip" but I'm unsure if that is "set what the ac will start at" or "the cabin will actually be this temperature when I get in". If it is indeed a pre-heat - does this start the petrol...

    Climate control access

    I have an MG4 long range Trophy. Is there a way of bringing up climate control on the steering wheel controls? On the screen it takes several button presses and it drops off as soon as I touch one control so I need to go in again to make further adjustments which takes my attention dangerously...

    Query about Cyberster climate control screen setting

    I have got to grips with all the settings on my new GT , which is brilliant, with one exception! On the middle screen (between the seats) showing climate control settings, half way down is a strange horizontal small oval button with a line in it. You can turn it on and off by presssing it,but...

    Outside temperature - intermittent issue

    Hi all, I have a new MG3 Hybrid and am really pleased with it but have noticed that intermittently on starting the car, the outside temperature is just showing as a horizontal line. It's intermittent though and is often resolved by stopping and starting the car, so strikes me as potentially...

    Climate control cutting out.

    Just lately my climate control keeps cutting out. This happens when I haven’t selected the cooling button (I assume is the air con) but just want some blow from the fan. The interval between it working and switching off seems random, sometimes staying on for twenty minutes or so and other times...

    Climate control screen appearing when I first start the car

    Hello, my first post here. I've had my Aussie Essence 64 for a few weeks now. I'm on R11. When I first turn on the car the first screen that appears is the climate control screen. Is this normal? Sometimes it even muscles in over the top of Android Auto. It drives me crazy. Is this something I...

    MG4 steaming up problem

    My new (fabulous!) MG4 Trophy keeps fogging up! The recirculation setting is set to outside air but unless the fan is on no air appears to be coming in. Is it always necessary to have fan on (?battery drain?) Or shouldn't the forward motion of the car let air in? Any thoughts anyone? Many thanks!

    To AC or not to AC…

    Just got a ZS EV and loving it. However, coming from a fossil car and my “only use AC when the outside temperature is above 24 degrees, to save fuel” mentality, does the same apply to EVs? Is it more efficient, conversely, to just set the climate control to a temperature and leave it in auto...
