Does it work? Dual-zone climate control

- You hear it all the time in car ads and reviews: 'dual-zone climate control'. But have you ever stopped to think about whether it actually makes any difference to your car's air conditioning?
We sent Richard Berry and Matthew Pritchard, our resident science* duo to find out.
*Note: Not actual scientists, just two guys in sweet lab coats.

This video is a perfect combination of irrational conclusions and bad science...
A 7 degree difference is pretty good and in a stationary car so the air con can’t be as effective. Yes your not going to get the maximum extremes at either end at the same time but I would imagine e if someone is on the sunny side of the car a degree or two cooler could be nice
They just demonstrated their thermometers are utter garbage, even displayed over 1 degree Celsius difference... Also AC works best when the car is in motion, and finally, YES the Climate Control DOES vary from car to car and from brand to brand... extreme poor execution, borderline cringe...
My wife and I would both be happier in the car if she had 29C and I 21C hitting us. So even though it mixes she wouldn’t be freezing and I wouldn’t be sweating
Mind that to get that difference the AC had to work full power all the time and used considerably more fuel than just keeping the car at 24C.
Climate control only allows for a 4° variance, read the handbook 😀
Wrong. It is reccomended to set temperature higher or lower by 4 degrees according to outside weather.
I think, it does work. But the temp will not always same with the settings,thats normal,for example i mean if you set AC in bedroom 16 deg celcius (remote) ,the real temperature will not exactly same with remote ,maybe around 19-20deg Celcius
Climate control does work.
As far as I’m concerned it works. I have cool air blow on me as I’m always warm and whoever sits nexts to me can have warm/room temp air. Compared to single zone where it’s always gonna be too hot or too cold for at least one person.
6 degrees difference between 2 seats. Thats quite effective.
And 16 degrees is ridiculously low.
Try 22 and 26 and then set everything to auto.
Thats the more practical scenario
This story left me hot and cold!
Some cars you need to move for AC to get cooler
The AC does blow colder when the car is going, it still blows decent cool stopped but not as much
I was wondering about something exactly like this, found a video about it, and now I'm happy and satisfied. Thanks!
Do you guys really not understand that it's the temperature that hits your body and they don't expect the air around you to be that temperature?
Then thats not climate control...
Than why call it a zone ??
@@chileo1 should be body temperature control but it does work
@@djkasdjkasdjdjdj Semantics! what do you want it to be called then, dual-temperature-for-passenger-and-driver. Doesn’t have as nice of a ring on it.
Answers a few of my questions. Thank you fellas. 😁☘️
My car has dual zone. I just find it annoying. I want one knob to set the temperature, and basically it just means I have to set two dials. A complication I don't need.
There's a sync button u press once and it keep both temperature same. Even if i turn car off and back on. In my honda accord
@@fahadnadir2403 Exactly. Sync it (or in some cars, turn off “dual”) and it will only go based on the drivers dial.
Happy partner happy life
Pls test 3 zone controls!,!
University of Sydney Shepherd St Carpark?
Yes, dual climate control can make a few degrees of difference but:
1) It will use more fuel than just splitting a difference since it has to work against each other (air mixes and has to be cooled/heated again)
2) Has anyone ever even had a need to use it at all?
Science stuff!! Good call! Nice video!
Thats good to freeze the front Window and let you hot inside! Thats the way i use dual zone
You guys should work in some movie, I can tell you that!!
Great (ludicrous) experiment! What next, AEB? :)
Could you please bring back Torquing Heads.
Hole Heat Control
Brilliant idea,thought dual-zone means the front and the back seats? You guys should compare two cars,one with back seats air-con and one without to see how much difference it makes.
nsxz dual zone is left and right, there is quad zone which adds that into the rear row though
@@brosk1s883 Most dual zones are front and back now, or tri-zone. quad zone is pretty rare.. Dual zone back in the day use to be the front only which was a dumb idea
