Here’s the Function and How the Defogger Works on Cars: Okezone Otomotif

NOT many car brand manufacturers embed the defogger feature on their product variants. The reason is that in Indonesia sometimes this feature is often circumcised by car manufacturers because it is a useless feature for the Indonesian market.

However, it all depends on the condition of the residence of the vehicle users themselves. If the vehicle user lives in a crowded, congested and hot urban area, this feature seems rarely to be used.

However, if the vehicle user lives in a mountainous area with cold temperatures, this feature will be very useful as a safety feature.

The definition of defogger itself is a device feature that removes droplets of water, dew or ice (when it is snowing) from the main windshield, side windows and rear windshield of the vehicle.

Its main function is to clean the windshield from water and emun that interfere with the distance of the field so as to increase visibility for a safe and comfortable driving. P

This device is also known as a ‘defroster’ or ‘demister’. This Defogger feature is usually used during the rainy season.

How Defogger works

When driving in the rainy season, many times drivers face the problem of water condensation on the windshield and side windows. In some of the coldest areas or abroad that are being hit by winter there is ice piled up on the surface of the windshield of the vehicle.

Generally, in this situation, it becomes very difficult for the driver to see the visibility of the road and other vehicles due to the poor visibility of the visibility. Therefore, manufacturers use defoggers in cars.

This device removes water, frost and ice from the glass surface and restores driving visibility. The results can help reduce the likelihood of accidents and improve road safety.

The defogger system works in two ways

1. Primer:

This type of defogger works with the help of the vehicle’s heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Initially, fresh air is drawn into the air conditioning system where it is dehumidified. The dehumidified air then passes to the heating core.

The heating core draws heat from the hot cooling water circulating around the engine and circulates it into the air. Thus, dry and hot air escapes from the heating core which then passes through different vents and is carried to the desired location such as a windshield.

Generally, this method is used in vehicle manufacturers who embed a car windshield defogger which is usually located on the dashboard that comes out of a small grille on the windshield.

2. Seconds

This defogger works on the principle of agitated electric heating. The manufacturer attaches a filament of heating material to the glass surface. After turning on the system, an electric current passes through the filament and generates heat. Thus, it melts the condensed material and cleans the glass.

This is found on the rear window defogger on the car. If you look at the shape in the form of lines that surround the rear window of the car. Useful to help your viewpoint backwards when you are driving backwards.
