This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform cold weather test procedures and performance requirements for engine coolant type heating systems of bus that are all vehicles designed to transport 10 or more passengers. The intent is to provide a test that will ensure acceptable comfort for bus occupants. It is limited to a test that can be conducted on uniform test equipment in commercially available laboratory facilities. Required test equipment, facilities, and definitions are included. There are two options for producing hot coolant in this recommended practice. Testing using these two approaches on the same vehicle will not necessarily provide identical results. Many vehicle models are offered with optional engines, and each engine has varying coolant temperatures and flow rates. If the test is being conducted to compare the performance of one heater design to another heater design, then the external coolant source approach (Test A) will yield the most comparable results.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a uniform test procedures for on highway trucks equipped with an air-conditioning system used to condition the air in the cabin and sleeper compartment of the vehicle. This specification will apply to heavy trucks with and without sleeper compartments.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform test procedures and performance requirements for engine-off heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in order to achieve driver thermal comfort in both winter and summer rest periods. This specification will apply to heavy trucks with and without sleeper compartments, including but is not limited to Class 6, 7, and 8 powered vehicles.

The scope of this SAE Information Report is to: a Define the Equivalent temperature. b Describe how it can be used to evaluate the performance of a heating and/or air-conditioning system in a vehicle. c Describe how it can be measured.

The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish uniform test procedures for measuring and rating air delivery and cooling capacity of truck cab air-conditioner evaporator assemblies. It is the intent to measure only the actual cooling capacity of the evaporator. It is not the intent of this recommended practice to rate and compare the performance of the total vehicle air-conditioning system.
