Patent attributes
An air conditioning system is provided for motor vehicles, which are driven by an internal-combustion engine equipped with an overrun fuel cut-off, and having a compressor driven by the internal-combustion engine for setting a defined desired evaporator temperature, along with a control or automatic control influencing the operation of the air conditioning system as a function of the operating condition of the internal-combustion engine. The compressor is an externally automatically controlled compressor with an adjustable swash plate for variably adjusting the evaporator temperature. The control or automatic control is operatively configured such that, in a coasting operation of the internal-combustion engine, the swash plate is adjusted such that the evaporator temperature is lowered below the defined desired evaporator temperature.
