Concern over carbon emissions and the rising price of oil have prompted automotive system designers to look for new ways to reduce fuel consumption. A major drain on a vehicle's power supply is the climate control system, meaning it is a good place to start in seeking energy efficiency, the author argues.
The ON Semiconductor engineer looks at how utilizing linear stepper motor actuators could help achieve new efficiencies.
The article examines the application of advanced stepper motor technology to future climate control systems. It also looks at the use of LIN mechatronic expansion valves to detect problems like stuck valves.
