- Summary:
- In automotive systems, efficient thermal management is essential for refining vehicle performance, enhancing passenger comfort, and reducing MAC Power Consumption. The performance of an air conditioning system is linked to the performance of its condenser, which in turn depends on critical parameters such as the opening area, radiator fan ability and shroud design sealing.The opening area decides the airflow rate through the condenser, directly affecting the heat exchange efficiency. A larger opening area typically allows for greater airflow, enhancing the condenser's ability to dissipate heat. The shroud, which guides the airflow through the condenser, plays a vital role in minimizing warm air recirculation. An optimally designed shroud can significantly improve the condenser's thermal performance by directing the airflow more effectively. Higher fan capacity can increase the airflow through the condenser, improving heat transfer rates. However, it is essential to balance fan capacity with energy consumption to achieve optimal performance.This study investigates the impact of varying these parameters on vehicle-level A/C performance and MAC Power Consumption. By systematically altering the condenser opening area, changing the shroud configuration, and adjusting the radiator fan capacity, we aim to find best conditions that enhance A/C performance and effect MAC Power Consumption. Experimental data were collected through a series of controlled tests, the results were analysed to decide the correlation between these variables A/C performance metrics such as average grill temperatures, refrigerant pressure and MAC Power Consumption. The findings provide valuable insights for automotive engineers and designers, highlighting the importance of these factors in achieving efficient as well as effective A/C systems in passenger vehicles
