Abstract
Automobile air-conditioning system is indispensable for automobiles, and it is required the air-conditioning control system which actualizes thermal comfort and optimal energy use. In this paper, we firstly introduce the dynamical thermal environment model of the automobile that can be used directly for the design of the air-conditioning system. Then we adopt local SET* as thermal comfort index, and evaluate the thermal comfort of passengers quantitatively.
