Abstract

This study investigate the performance of vehicle air conditioning system under different ambient condition. An ambient temperature play an important role in affecting the performance of vehicle air conditioning system. This is because the impact of the global warming that is happening today due to increased of fuel consumption will cause increased an ambient temperature, even affecting the vehicle’s air conditioning system. The objective of this study is to determine the best coefficient of performance of air conditioning systems between three different ambient temperatures which are 28oC, 33oC and 38oC by taking into account several parameters such as system temperature, system pressure, cooling capacity and compressor work. The compressor speed and blower inlet air temperature are kept constant where at 1500 rpm and 30oC respectively. The experiment was conducted by using a test rig that consist of actual componenet used in Proton Wira passenger car. During the experimental works, the test rig should be stabilized of around 10 minutes before the data is taken for another 10 minutes with time interval of 20 seconds. The recorded data are temperature and mass flow rate. The results showed that an ambient temperature at 33oC produced higher COP at 4.97.
