AQS Air intake classification &
recirculation control
At ScioSense we care about the environment we live in, and our sensors give automotive manufacturers the choice and flexibility they need to implement critical features like AQS Air intake classification & recirculation control.
ScioSense’s automotive products are used by major automotive OEMs around the globe to help improve vehicle’s energy efficiency, safety and in-cabin comfort.
From sensor technology to complete module, ScioSense offers the whole range.
The amount of computing power in today’s cars helps ensure we can all have safer and more enjoyable journeys that are easier on the environment. But all that computing power needs raw data to make the right decisions.
Automatic Air Quality Systems (AQS) are essential for maintaining a healthy and comfortable cabin environment.
These advanced systems continuously monitor the air outside the vehicle, detecting harmful pollutants and sudden changes in air composition. When the system detects high levels of hazardous gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NOx), or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the AQS immediately triggers the recirculation damper.
This intelligent air intake classification decision ensures contaminated external air is blocked from entering the passenger compartment.
Our integrated sensor modules, like the ACM, feature high-performance gas and humidity sensors that provide the necessary data for reliable recirculation control.
The continuous, reliable environmental monitoring is vital, as it not only safeguards passenger health but also dramatically improves the overall HVAC system energy efficiency.
Clean Air Comfort
Modern vehicles face increasingly complex challenges when it comes to ensuring we can breathe in fresh clean air while inside the car. The ACM (Air Classification Module) is a fully automotive-qualified module for automatic HVAC air intake control.
ScioSense offers both off-the-shelf modules and bespoke sensor solutions to control the interior environment.
