Fuel Economy and Cabin Comfort Study Using Modeling and Test

摘要

The aim of this work is to study the link between heat strategies used to improve the cabin comfort and the fuel economy. In order to reduce costs of production during the phases of Concept and Design, the modeling of the complete vehicle is required to analyze the interactions between the different systems of the vehicles in terms of energy. To have an accurate model two types of test are required; dynamometric Chassis and engine test. The combination of these two tests and the modeling will provide an accurate tool to check benefits between several heat strategies in the vehicle.
