Detailed Explanation of Sensor Network Temperature Control Technology in Automotive Air Conditioning Systems to Enhance Comfort
1. Multi-Zone Precision Temperature Control System
Distributed Temperature Monitoring
Utilizes 8-12 high-precision NTC temperature sensors (±0.1℃) distributed across various areas inside the vehicle
Three-dimensional layout in front/rear/left/right/top to construct a three-dimensional temperature field model
Achieves a spatial resolution of 0.5℃, eliminating the “hot and cold spots” of traditional single-point temperature measurement
Dynamic Compensation Algorithm
Temperature prediction system based on Kalman filtering (predicts temperature changes 30 seconds in advance)
Sunlight Compensation: Light sensors adjust based on illumination (2000-10000lux range)
Occupant Count Adaptation: Seat pressure sensors participate in load calculations
2. Intelligent Environmental Adjustment System
Humidity Collaborative Control
Capacitive humidity sensors (±2%RH accuracy) monitor air conditions
Automatic Defogging Logic: Activates defrost mode when the temperature difference on the front windshield exceeds 3℃
Automatic Humidification in Dry Seasons (optional humidification module)
Airflow Optimization Management
24-level stepless speed control fan (noise < 35dB)
Intelligent Airflow Swing System: Avoids direct airflow on occupants (5 preset airflow modes)
GPS-based Tunnel Mode: Automatically switches to recirculation before entering a tunnel
3. Predictive Comfort Control
Remote Preconditioning
Mobile APP remote start (supports scheduling/geofencing triggers)
Winter Preheating Strategy: Achieves 20℃ inside the vehicle within 15 minutes at -10℃ ambient temperature
Summer Pre-cooling Algorithm: Cools a vehicle exposed to 40℃ for 10 minutes down to 26℃
Personalized Memory
Driver recognition system automatically recalls preset temperatures
Seat Temperature Sensing Linkage: Heating/ventilation works in coordination with air conditioning
Learning Mode: Automatically records and reproduces user preference settings
4. Energy Efficiency and Comfort Balance

New Sensor Applications
Infrared thermal imaging sensors: Non-contact body surface temperature detection
VOC sensors: Automatically switch to fresh air mode (when CO? > 1000ppm)
Ultrasonic sensors: Occupant position recognition for directional airflow
5. Fault Safety Mechanism
Redundant Design
Triple-mode temperature sensors (main, backup + thermal backup)
Local closed-loop control during communication interruption (maintains last valid setting)
Self-diagnostic System
Real-time monitoring of sensor health status (lifetime prediction accuracy > 90%)
Automatic calibration function (performs zero calibration every 24 hours)
Note: The latest BMW 7 Series is equipped with a fourth-generation temperature control system that uses 32 environmental sensors and AI algorithms to maintain a temperature difference of ±0.3℃ across various areas inside the vehicle. The Tesla Model S Plaid employs infrared array sensors to achieve precise control of “one person, one temperature zone.” It is recommended to calibrate the sensor network every two years to maintain optimal performance.
