Integral simulation of air conditioning in passenger buses.

Author(s) : ANDRE J. C. S., CONCEICAO E. Z., SILVA M. C., VIEGAS D. X.

Summary

The model is based on the space-integral energy balance equations for the air inside and for the main vehicle bodies and surfaces. It can calculate the heat stress that the air conditioning system must equilibrate, in order to satisfy predefined permanent regimen project specifications, and also, once imposed a particular air conditioning system and given the ambient conditions, it computes the different temperatures and heat fluxes in transient or steady regimens. Particular care was put on the solar radiation modelling. Some simple experimental tests in real bus, done with the objective of illustrating the model's application in a typical situation, were performed with encouraging results.
