Heating and ventilation

Outside air can enter the interior of the Lada Kalina car through the door windows with the windows down and the air intake located in front of the windshield on the right and equipped with a dust filter that cleans the air from dust, soot, plant pollen, etc. The air entering the interior of the car Lada Kalina through the air intake passes through the heater. Depending on the position of the control knobs of block 7 (see fig. 1.6) heating and ventilation control, either heated or cold air enters the interior of the Lada Kalina car.

The arrangement of bodies of distribution of streams of air is shown in fig. 1.8, the location of the heating and ventilation controls - in fig. 1.9.

The instrument panel contains the following air distribution elements.

1 - air ducts for supplying air to the legs of passengers in the rear seat.

2 - side nozzles for supplying air to the driver and passenger in the front seat or on the windows of the front doors. Direction of air flow is adjusted by turning the grille (in the vertical direction) and sashes (in the horizontal direction) by the handle in the middle of the grate. The intensity of the air flow is regulated by moving the handle under the nozzle in the horizontal direction. At the left nozzle in the left extreme position of the handle, the air flow is blocked, at the right - the flow is maximum. The flow intensity control algorithm from the right nozzle is symmetrical.

3 - nozzles for blowing windows of the front doors.

4 - windshield blower nozzles.


5 - the upper nozzle for supplying air to the passenger compartment.

6 - central nozzles for supplying air to the passenger compartment. The direction of air flows from the central nozzles is regulated in the same way as from the side nozzles 2. The intensity of the air flows is regulated by moving the handle between the nozzles in the vertical direction. In the lowermost position of the handle, the air flow is blocked, in the upper position, air is supplied through nozzle 5. In the intermediate position of the handle, air is supplied both through the upper and through the central nozzles;

7 - knob for adjusting the position of the central nozzles.
