Delphi introduces E3 at Conexpo

Delphi has released a new HVAC seat-based system. The system is part of Delphi’s E3 seat, and combines Delphi’s Diavia application capability with the Cobo group’s steering column, seat, lighting and electronic devices.

The new seat debuted this week at the 2011 Conexpo-Con/Agg Exposition held at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“Combining Delphi’s new HVAC system with the Cobo seat provides equipment manufacturers the opportunity to keep operators comfortable while simplifying the overall cabin design and installation process,” says Roberto Grotti, Delphi Diavia managing director.

According to Delphi, the E3 HVAC system has a cooling capacity of 6.2 kW and a heating capacity of 5.8 kW and can provide climate controls for the cab only or cab and seat cushion. The E3’s control unit is located inside the seat arm.
