The No. 2 cooler thermisotr is installed on the evaporator in the rear cooling unit to detect the temperature of the air that has passed through the evaporator and is used to control the air conditioning. It sends signals to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The resistance of the No. 2 cooler thermisotr changes in accordance with the cooled air temperature that has passed through the evaporator. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the No. 2 cooler thermisotr and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the No. 2 cooler thermisotr changes. This sensor is used for frost prevention.
