EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PASSENGER THERMAL COMFORT IN AN AUTOMOBILE UNDER SEVERE WINTER CONDITIONS.

Author(s) : BURCH S. D., PEARSON J. T., RAMADHYANI S.

Summary

WITH PROGRESSIVE REDUCTIONS IN ENGINE SIZE IN MODERN AUTOMOBILES, LESS HEAT IS BEING REJECTED BY THE ENGINE TO THE COOLANT. CONSEQUENTLY, IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO RAPIDLY ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN PASSENGER THERMAL COMFORT UNDER SEVERE WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS. TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRIC HEATING HAVE BEEN STUDIED EXPERIMENTALLY, AND THE RESULTS ARE REPORTED IN THE PAPER.
