Summary:The present invention is related to a HVAC system for use in a vehicle. In particular, the system uses a compressor control system that enhances the overall performance of the HVAC system. 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.
