Door Locks & Defoggers ?

YOU said auto AC's PRIMARY use was dehumidification.It's not. The PRIMARY purpose is to provide cool air,to remove heat from the interior.Auto AC is primarily used on HOT days.

Not on any hot day.

windows don't fog up on hot days,which is the -majority- of AC usage. Sure,a secondary use is defogging(with the addition of heat from the engine cooling system..),but not the -primary- use,as you claim.

Generally,they don't.Hardly at all,compared to hot day usage. In fact,auto owner manuals all emphasize that operators should run the AC pweriodically during cool weather to keep seals lubed. That shows that people generally do NOT use AC in cooler weather. Most people forget about AC in cooler weather.

Ah,a subtle insult.A sure sign of losing an argument.

They are--they're getting warm moist air building up inside the car because the A/C isn't on, removing the moisture.

ever think people may want to DEFROST their windows with the DEFROST control? (that actually just directs the -air flow- to the windshield instead of other vents.) Maybe they just want to direct some heat onto the window to clear it. Maybe they DONT WANT to run the AC unless they push the AC button.

you seem to think that one uncommon situation is the -primary- reason for AC,and it's NOT.

AC's PRIMARY purpose is to remove heat from the interior. That is what it's used for the most often.

No, it's not.

you agreed in an earlier post.

here's a replay of your earlier post; "Elmo P. Shagnasty" wrote in news:elmop- snipped-for-privacy@mara100-84.onlink.net:

So you finally admit that the majority of users DON'T use AC -for- humidity removal,thus it cannot be the -primary- reason for AC. Thanks for proving my point.

You call them "ignorant";maybe they just don't like the AC coming on without them specifically turning it on. Who wants the AC coming on when it's cold outside and the windshield is FROSTY? In cold weather,the air is typically "dry";low humidity.No need to remove humidity.All you need then is heat.

You're too quick to use the term "ignorant".

Perhaps -most- autos do NOT turn the AC on for windshield defrost.

there you go again. ______

End replay.

You agreed with me,but now are back to your original nonsense that a seldom used situation is a "primary" reason for AC.

Perhaps you need to learn what "primary" means.

Apparently it is the class that many people should be in here. ;^)
