Abstract

An air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle may include a channel system configured to allow air to flow therethrough during operation and at least one heat exchanger positioned within the main channel and configured to air-condition air supplied to a motor vehicle interior of the motor vehicle. The channel system may include a main channel. The system may include a sensor device configured to measure an air characteristic of air to be analysed. The sensor device may include an analysis channel which the air to be analysed can flow through, a generation device configured to generate electromagnetic waves penetrating the analysis channel, a sensor temperature-control space separated from the analysis channel, and a temperature-control channel configured to apply air-conditioned air to the generation device to control a temperature of the generation device. The generation device is at least partially arranged in the sensor temperature-control space.
