Abstract
An apparatus and system for manipulating the air temperature within an interior compartment of a vehicle, the apparatus cycles a compressor between an off and on position based upon a temperature reading of the evaporator fins positioned to cool the air of the vehicle. The system employs a control algorithm wherein the evaporator fin temperature of the evaporator determines the operational status of the compressor.
