Description

Thermal systems in automobiles (HVAC, engine cooling, transmission,
power steering) have significant energy requirements that can adversely affect vehicle
performance. New and innovative approaches are required to provide the customer
the desired comfort in an energy-efficient way. In recent years, efficiency of
the thermal systems has increased significantly compared to systems used in the
early to mid-1990s. Providing thermal comfort in an energy-efficient way has
challenged the automotive industry to search for innovative approaches to
thermal management. Hence, managing flows of heat, refrigerant, coolant, oil,
and air is extremely important because it directly affects system performance
under the full range of operating conditions. This creates significant
engineering challenges in cabin and underhood thermal management. Optimization
of the components and the system is required to fully understand the
components’ effects on the system. Thus, modeling the components and the system
is essential for performance predictions. Simulation of thermal systems is
becoming an essential tool in the development phase of projects. Durability and
reliability are also important factors in design of these systems.
