ABSTRACT

A vehicle heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system is not just desirable, but it is also necessary standard equipment for vehicles manufactured today. This system provides cab-crew comfort and is important for safety by ensuring demisting of the cab environment and defogging of windows in all kinds of weather. This entry is a sequel to the entry “HVAC Systems, Mobile: Physics and Configuration” (see p. 909) and it provides readers a short synopsis of mobile HVAC system psychrometric fundamentals, component design approaches, and component and system capacity calculations, as well as the future of mobile climate control systems.
