The Hybrid Dual Scroll Air Conditioning Compressor

The Hybrid Dual Scroll Air Conditioning Compressor

The Honda Civic Hybrid uses a dual scroll air-conditioning system. It reduces the load on the engine by using a combination of engine power and electric motor to drive two air-conditioning systems.

On normal days, the engine-driven compressor acts as the sole source of air-conditioning and the motor-driven acts when the car is idle-stopped.

On hot days, both compressors will provide maximum cooling by using the petrol engine and the electric motor. But, the Honda Civic Hybrid’s idle-stop feature will be temporarily disabled.
