Road bus heat loads numerical and experimental evaluation.

Author(s) : STANCATO F., ONUSIC H.

Summary

A mathematical simulation model was developed to calculate the cooling loads in a cab. The cooling loads calculations are described. Fields experiments were conducted to evaluate the conduction through walls and glasses and the total cooling load models. Precision less than 5% was gotten between experimental measurements and model results. In the summer situation, the cab orientation, the time, the external paint and the tint of the glasses are studied.
