    Unless the compressor is engaged, the refrigerant within the system wont be circulating, thus when the blower blows across the evaporator (radiator for airc con), the temperature wont be as cold.
    Also the ducts have (electrically) controlled flaps which would close to the cold air when the highest temp setting is selected.
    Hope that helps...not sure if I got the question though!!

    It still makes a huge difference over the heater blower in the car. Also for demisting it is fantastic, stops the car fogging up too.

    The air will be dehumidified.

    Exactly. Cooling the air will cause the moisture to condense out of it. When warmed again you get warm dry air instead of warm moist air.

    What does Air Con do when you've got your heater set to put out warm air?
