| Abstract |
Compact semi-center type automotive air handling system(AHS) is developed in this study and it’s performance is compared with the conventional 3-pieces type air hand-ling system. The pressure drop is measured at component level and system level, and air flow rate and air distribution of discharge air through each ducts from air handling system are measured. System level characteristics of pressure drop at face and windshield discharge mode and air flow rate are investigated, and also temperature control linearities are tested. The volume of the air handling system package is reduced about 20%. And air flow rate increase about 5 to 20% compared to the conventional 3-pieces type air handling system at each dis-charge mode with significantly improved air pressure drop both component and system level. Also, air distribution and temperature controllability meet to evaluation criteria. |
