Calsonic North America

Calsonic Kansei’s HVAC Systems are the product of both the human sciences and the science of climate control. We test our systems repeatedly to ensure that they provide the user with a comfortable environment, by performing tests all over the world in different climates, weather and driving conditions. We at Calsonic Kansei design and manufacture our own heaters, coolers, intake blowers and other components needed for a HVAC system. HVAC Unit is comprised of evaporator, heater core, slide door and other components. Benefits The air conditioning unit sets the internal temperature and air outlet to the user’s preference under any climate change and creates a comfortable environment throughout the year. It also demists the windows for safe driving. Calsonic Kansi provides a range of air conditioning units for different cars, ranging from passenger cars such as compact cars, RVs, luxury cars to large trucks. We provide a wide range of highly functional products, including independent air conditioning for each seat and automatic air conditioners.

The intake unit supplies air in the desired state into the car through the air conditioner unit. It operates in one of two modes, the recirculation mode, for circulating the air inside the car, and the fresh mode, for admitting air from the outside. An air filter removes the dust and pollen to improve air quality and enhance comfort.

• Size12mm, 16mm, 27mm, 35mm, and 42mm core depths available

Depending on the vehicle packaging requirements, down-flow or cross flow designs are available. The brazed aluminum construction provides advantages in both performance and mass. The radiators’ in-tank concentric and laminated plate coolers are optional for automatic transmission andor engine oil cooling applications which are available for small cars to light duty trucks. Calsonic offers a variety of tube and fin selections available depending on performance level required. Material & Process Features Our radiators are made using in-house injection molding of nylon plastic tanks with die repair shop and engineering onsite. Another process we use is in-house stamping of most stamped metallic components. Zinc-bearing fin, tube and header plate alloys are used for external and internal corrosion protection. *Nocolok™ brazing process used for core. Nocolok™ is a patented brazing process of Alcan.Testing Like all of our products, the radiator goes through top of the line testing including: in-house performance simulation capability by KULI analysis, FEA capability to optimize product from the earliest stages of development. We have complete in-house prototype capabilities and fully capable in-house laboratories to validate all aspects of performance and durability, including a full scale vehicle wind tunnel. Annual competitive benchmarking ensures Calsonic Kansei remains a leader of industry trends.Benefits Multiple fin pinch options available to fine tune performance based on customer requirements. Optimized fine-pitch louvered fin and extruded tube designs provide low pressure drop with high heat transfer performance. Thin gage, high strength, aluminum materials used throughout for contributing to lightweight and high-performance products. Variety of mounting features are used to meet customer packaging require

Variable Displacement Compressor – our family of five variable displacement compressors are based on Calsonic Kansei proprietary technology known as single-sided wobble, continuous variable displacement. The operation of the compressor can be adjusted continuously according to the cooling power required. There are two control methods, internal control and external control. With the internal control technique, a built-in control valve detects the pressure changes of the intake coolants and controls them. With the external control technique, the control valve is activated by electrical signals sent from an external microcomputer. The external control technique enables optimized control of output pulses, and therefore enables significant improvements in fuel efficiency and drivability. Rotary Compressor - Our family of three rotary compressors are simple, small, lightweight and easy to attach. Also, they have few components and provide excellent cost performance. Our compressors have ten output pulses per shaft rotation, providing an exceptionally smooth flow of coolant. These compressors have almost no vibration and generate very little noise. Material & Process Features Under technical partnership with the then GM Harrison, the first company in the world that mass-produced compressors with single-sided wobble continuous variable displacement, Calsonic Kansei launched production in Japan in 1988. Since that time, we have provided an extensive product lineup ranging from compressors for compact vehicles to those for large vehicles using our proprietary variable displacement technologies. We mass produce variable displacement compressors with an external control system that offers significant improvement in fuel efficiency and these units are highly respected in the market. Rotary compressors which are smaller, lighter and offer superior cost performance, are used for a range of purposes and also have the advantage of our extensive experience and original technologies.

The air filter prevents dust from entering from the outside and provides a clean interior space. Calsonic Kansei provides a range of filters to meet the needs of the customer. They include an advanced dust collection filter for removing even fine pollen, and a deodorant filter for removing the odor of exhaust gases and animals from the outside.

The heater core consists of tubes, fins and joints that are designed to yield a lightweight, compact and high performance product. Material & Process Features The components of the heater core are made from aluminum to make the unit lighter and easier to recycle.
