The Climate Control Unit (CCU) functions

 




The Climate Control Unit (CCU) in the Porsche  993 has the following functions:








  1. Monitor the air temperature in the cabin by blowing air over a sensor in the CCU front panel (CCU fan)
  2. Monitor the CCU fan operation
  3. Monitor the ambient (outside) air temperature
  4. Monitor the oil temperature
  5. Monitor any freezing of the A/C evaporator
  6. Monitor both front fans and rear fan operation (fault detection)
  7. Monitor the air temperature in the two front and mixer chambers (vent air temperature)
  8. Monitor the engine temperature to be able to run the aux fan in cooling mode at ignition off if needed
  9. Control the A/C condenser fan low-speed setting. (high speed controlled by pressure switch)
  10. Control the oil cooler fan in the right front fender (low and high speed)
  11. Control the front interior fan speed (two fans, 4 steps using PWM)
  12. Control the engine compartment (rear) cooling/hot air blower fan (low and high speed)
  13. Control the amount of fresh air from the front air intake (servo motor)
  14. Control the amount of heated air from the engine heat exchangers (two mixer servo motors, one for each side of the dashboard)
  15. Control the amount of air to the defroster or center vents (servo motor)
  16. Control the amount of air to the footwell vents (servo motor)
  17. Control the recirculation vacuum actuator behind the CCU on late 1995 and forward cars.
  18. Control the A/C compressor clutch mechanism
  19. Monitor the gear shift, if reverse gear is selected, both mixer valves close to avoid exhaust fumes in the cabin
  20. Activate the DME Coasting Shutoff function in the engine control unit
  21. Log any faults detected in the systems and present them through the OBD interface
