Abstract

A system for controlling vehicle passenger compartment comfort. An electronic controller receives input from: (i) a thermistor array sensing blower plenum discharge temperature, (ii) a user movable Level Select Control (iii) a potentiometer sensing the position of a servo driven heater core water valve, (iv) an engine rpm tachometer generator and (v) a blower speed signal. The controller drives the servomotor for the water valve at a 'High' rate until the valve position potentiometer indicates that the valve is within fifteen degrees (15.degree.) of the target, whereupon the controller drives the servomotor at a 'Low' speed.
