Evaluation of the HVAC system of passenger cars and prediction of the microclimate in the passenger compartment by application of numerical flow analysis.

Author(s) : CURRLE J., HARPER M., ROSS F., HEID T.

Summary

Two operating conditions of the HVAC (heating-ventilation-air-conditioning) system have been considered, namely the standard winter heat-up and summer cool-down mode. The computational model consists of around 5 million cells and includes all parts of the HVAC system together with a detailed description of the passenger compartment containing four occupants. The numerical results are used for the evaluation of different aspects related to the ventilation and air-conditioning of the car interior.
