An Experimental Study on Cycle Performance of the Mobile Air Conditioner with and without Indoor Fan Operation

Abstract:

Operating characteristic of an air conditioning system for vehicle is dynamic and anomalous. Due to the dynamic behavior of the system, the performance measurement should be taken in account in many different kind of environmental condition with various thermodynamic variables. One of the driving conditions of the system, rotating speed of the compressor for air conditioning is the most important factor consideration that is directly connected to the vehicle engine through clutch and belt. The engine was simulated with 18.5KW class AC motor to drive the compressor. Two environmental chambers are built in this study to simulate operation condition of the system.
