The Human Thermal Comfort Evaluation inside the Passenger Compartment

Effect of Dynamic Vents on the Thermal Comfort of a Passenger Car

Environment friendliness and energy efficiency are the mantra of today’s world in each and every sector of development. The automotive industry is also now switching to zero emission car concepts to be in congruence with this concept. During this transformation, however, consumer satisfaction should not be hampered. The consumer is satisfied if he feels comfortable using a given commodity. Comf...

Improvement of Thermal Comfort in a Passenger Car by Localized Air Distribution

The thermal environment and air quality in a passenger car can affect driver's and passengers' health, performance and comfort. Due to spatial and temporal variation of state variables and boundary conditions in the vehicle cab, the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) does not have to be designed to provide a uniform environment, especially because of individual differences regardi...

Polyurethane Foam Molding Technologies for Improving Total Passenger Compartment Comfort

Improvements in passenger compartment comfort continue to be one of the key needs of the global transportation industry. Since their introduction more than 40 years ago, flexible molded polyurethane foams have successfully contributed to the comfort provided by all forms of transportation seating. Initially required to provide just a wide range of load bearing, seating foams are now being desig...

Controlling Thermal Comfort Of Passenger Vehicle Using Fuzzy Controller

The automobile car cabin is complex man –machine interface. Two main goals of Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning System is providing thermal comfort and save energy. Comfort is a subjective feeling and hard to model mathematically. This is because thermal comfort is influenced by many variables such as temperature, relative humidity, air velocity and radiation. Aim of this paper is to des...
