    The document summarizes the design of an HVAC system for an automotive application. The goals are to develop a smaller and lighter system that can maintain interior temperatures between 15-22°C. Key components discussed include a scroll compressor, R134a refrigerant, plate-fin heat exchangers for the condenser and evaporator, and an accumulator. Design parameters like the refrigeration cycle and heat loads are analyzed. Preliminary results show the system can meet the cooling and heating requirements with reasonable efficiency.

    HVAC System Design

    PES Institute of Technology

    Objective
    Goal: To develop an automotive air-conditioning system
    that is smaller and lighter than with conventional technology.

    The Challenge:

    The system must be capable of keeping a temperature of 22C inside a stationary black vehicle with four occupants, with an outside temperature of 40C. Also, the system must be an efficient heating system, keeping an internal temperature of 15C with an outside temperature of 0C.

    Conditioning system

    The HVAC regulates:


    Room Temperature Humidity Air Quality Air Flow

    Refrigeration Cycle
    3 2

    Enthalpy kJ/kg

    Vapour Compression Cycle

    Design Parameters & Considerations


    Heat Load on the HVAC Cabin Relative Humidity Evaporator Temperature Refrigerant Used Refrigeration Cycle : = 5.287 kW = 40% = 4C = R134a Vapour Compression

    Cabin design cooling and heating requirements Temperature and Humidity range Placement of Vents and Ducts Space considerations Effect on car performance Efficiency Environmental Impact

    Cycle Analysis & Heat Load


    Assumptions: Compression process is isentropic. No pressure losses in piping. Condenser temperature = 46C. Evaporator Temperature = 4 C. Refrigerant is not sub cooled. Heat Load Calculations: Heat due to opaque surfaces Heat due to fenestration Internal Loads ( human ) Total Load

    = 3598.2 W = 1229.66 W = 460 W = 5.287 kW

    Results
    Evaporator Pressure = 3.38 bar Condenser Pressure = 11.9 bar Heat Load = 5.287 KW Condenser Cooling Load= 6.308 KW Compressor Work = 1.02 KW Mass Flow Rate = 1.94 l/min

    Selection Basis
    Scroll Compressors Compact design and High Volumetric Efficiency ( around 98% ). Refrigerant R134a Minimized environmental impact. Plate-Fin Heat ExchangerCompact size, Higher heat transfer capability. Simple design incorporated to minimize cost.

    Compressor
    Heart of the system, belt driven pump that fastened to engine. Responsible for compressing and transferring refrigerant.

    Two interleaved scrolls with involute geometry. One scroll fixed while the other orbits eccentrically to compress fluid

    Advantage:
    Very high volumetric efficiency (almost 98%) Lesser Noise and lighter compared to rotary compressor.

    Weight

    5.8 kg

    Displacement
    Maximum Speed Rated Voltage

    90 ml/ revolution
    12000 rpm 12 V

    Condenser
    Responsible for heat dissipation The condenser is designed to radiate heat.

    Located in front of the radiator


    Require good air flow when system is in operation Plate fin type heat exchanger with micro channels used. Very compact and better heat transfer capability. Hot compressed refrigerant vapour cools at constant pressure to liquid.

    Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient = 92 W/m2K Area = 6.87 m2

    Accumulator
    Depending on the vehicle, the A/C system will either have a receiver dryer or an accumulator. Components contain a desiccant, chemical that attracts moisture. Prevents formation of corrosive acids on mixture of water and acid. Also act as temporary storage for refrigerant to prevent starving of evaporator

    Evaporator
    Heat absorption component. Used remove heat from the inside of vehicle. Secondary benefit - dehumidification. Unconditioned air passes through a filter before entering the evaporator. Plate-fin evaporator with micro channels used.
    Overall heat transfer coefficient = 98 W/m2K Area calculated Fan Flow Rate = 3.04 m2 = 90 l/s

    Layout of Components

    Looking Ahead
    Finalize and validate results based on inputs from other teams. Improvise on the current design and form a cost effective solution. Documentation and reports.
