Author: Radomskyi Maksym VasyliovychThe American company Ford has developed a system to prevent fogging of glass in a car. Such a useful gadget is called Windscreen Weather Station. You can also improve the practicality of your car with the help of tuning accessories, which are available in a large assortment in our online store.
What is Windscreen Weather Station?
Windscreen Weather Station is a small box (3x5 cm) that is installed directly on the windshield near the rearview mirror. The principle of its operation is approximately the following:
- With the help of several sensors, the gadget determines the degree of air humidity in the car;
- In accordance with the humidity, it selects the optimal operating mode of the air conditioner and turns it on, directing the air currents to the glass.
Additional benefit
In addition to its primary purpose, WWS also contributes to fuel economy and CO2 emissions. This effect is achieved by controlling the compressor of the auto climate system.
The automaker’s engineers rely on the fact that such a fog control system will be useful, first of all, for athletes who get into the car after playing sports in the fresh air. Condensation is formed from their rapid breathing.
This gadget is already installed on such Ford models as:
- Explorer;
- Kuga.
Whether this device will be sold separately and how much it costs are not yet reported.
