Air-conditioning fundamentals -- Air-conditioning components -- CFD-based modeling of heat transfer in a passenger compartment -- Model development for air conditioning system in heavy duty trucks -- Aggregation-based thermal model reduction -- Operating principles -- Air conditioning system with storage evaporator for vehicle -- Automobile electrical circuits and devices -- Service and repair -- AC and the environment. "Automobile air conditioning systems use air conditioning to cool the air in a vehicle. In a modern automobile, the A/C system will use around 4 horsepower (3 kW) of the engine's power, thus increasing fuel consumption of the vehicle. Sustainable automotive air conditioning is the subject of a debate-also known as the Cool War -'about the next-generation refrigerant in car air conditioning, An advocacy group, The Alliance for CO2 Solutions, supports the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a refrigerant in passenger cars, and the chemical industry is developing new chemical blends. This book presents research advances in automotive AC systems using an interdisciplinary approach combining both thermal science, and automotive engineering. Student, trainee automotive engineers and professionals in all areas of automotive HVAC will find this book useful"-- Back cover.
