Summary:

The measured windscreen defrost pattern for a saloon car has been compared with two CFD simulation methods and with the results obtained using a thermal imaging camera.The objectives were to determine:There was a good comparison between the defrost pattern on the windscreen and the results from the thermal imaging camera and the two CFD methods. The CFD methods have been shown to be suitable for fault finding and recommending their use is reinforced for development work of ducts and vents in the HVAC system. Airflow direction and distribution could be implied from the thermal camera images, which makes it a suitable tool for fine tuning duct and vent designs at the final stages of the design programme
