Design and development of the ventilation/air-conditioning system of the new Opel Astra.

Kombination von Berechnung und Entwicklung bei der Auslegung des Belüftungs/Klimasystems des neuen Opel Astra.

Author(s) : MÜLLER W., FRIK S.

Summary

Calculations led to an almost perfect design and, then enabled testing of samples. Thanks to this procedure, much time was saved in developing parts, particularly the defrost nozzles. Specifications were met or exceeded, thanks to drag-factor data and preliminary calculations. The defrosting device was not just improved by 30%, but was made draught-free. Resistance air flows were lowered by about 50%. Performance was improved by 15%, while the system's weight was lowered by 2.5 kg.
