eVTOL車両用HVACシステムの性能評価に関する研究

抄録

The eVTOL is a battery-powered vehicle that travels through the air. According to the road map "Flying Vehicles" proposed by METI. A specific eVTOL vehicle for short-distance two-point transportation, which can be considered close to practical applications such as emergency transportation and commuting to work and school, was modeled and discussed in this research. Since its purpose is to transport passengers, it requires an air condition system to maintain cabin comfort, but the evaluation of air conditioning performance of the eVTOL differs from that of land vehicles due to its characteristics of airborne transportation. In this study, we proposed and discussed a numerical air condition evaluation method, including the heat balance method for eVTOL vehicles. The result shows that the optimal method can effectively evaluate the HVAC system performance for eVTOL.
