Climate Control System Simulation Using a Digital Computer 700158

This paper presents mathematical models of automotive climate control systems. A simulation technique which uses a digital computer is described. The heater and air-conditioning system simulation models are discussed. Correlation of these models with the test data are given, and examples of design applications of the models are also presented.

The technique, which combines basic theory with a set of test data and a digital computer, gives results within 3-7% of test results and thus provides a useful and effective design tool.
