This paper describes in detail the original methods used in the design and development of a microprocessor-based climate control system for the XJ40 Jaguar car. It takes the concept of air conditioning and applies modern technology and materials to produce a unit for a new passenger car. It describes those areas of design where experience in automotive air conditioning has shown the need for improvement, and also explains the operational procedures. The theories presented can be used in any automotive application and lead through concept and development to a final design implementation.

AbstractAn expert system approach for designing air-conditioning systems for cars and trucks is presented. A brief introduction to the automotive application of the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is provided as general background. The method presented uses an integrated approach combining the power of conventional analysis programs, databases and model-based expert system technology. Some sample rules from the knowledge base have been included in the paper to illustrate the application of the domain knowledge and its interaction with algorithmic programs. The system architecture is very open and modular, and it lends itself to easy modifications and future expansions. Possibilities for system enhancements are also outlined in the paper. The approach presented in this paper provides substantial benefits to the automotive air-conditioning design engineer particularly in the early stages of new vehicle platform planning and development. A pilot system has been successfully tested at General Motors for preliminary design of automotive air-conditioning systems.

This paper describes the control system design based on the LIN bus on car air conditioning. Using the STMicroelectronics STM32 family of 32-bit ARM Cortex M3 core SCM as the controller, a LIN bus application and design in the modern automotive air conditioning control system are proposed, resulting to achieve reliable, stable, simple wiring harness, and low-cost of automotive air-conditioning control system.

In this study, two experiments were performed, one with the conventional compression refrigeration cycle (CRC) and the other with an ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC). The CRC system for automotive air conditioning was designed, fabricated and experiments were conducted. The system was then retrofitted with an ejector as the expansion device and experiments were repeated for the ERC system. Calculations of the entrainment ratio, compressor compression ratio and coefficient of performance (COP) were made for each cycle. The calculations showed that ERC has some advantages over the CRC. In this study, an average improvement of 5% in COP has been obtained for the ERC compared with the CRC.
