Abstract

Throughout this project, an Automotive Air Conditioner Booster will be introduced and analyzed in order to make this project successful and reach the objective. A cooling pad will be used in order to see the outcome for vapor compression refrigeration cycle in order for the coefficient of performance of it will be increase while the power consumption will be decrease. A water circulation system will be designed in order to keep the cooling pad in wet condition. The power of an automobile also will be tested to know whether there has been an effect or not. In this project, two experiments had been done by using Industrial Refrigeration Trainer System to determine the Coefficient of Performance and compressor power saving of the air conditioning system and by using Dyno-Test to determined Maximum Power and Torque Load of the Perodua Kancil EX660. For the result, the Coefficient of Performance of air conditioning increased from 4.056 to 7.081 for cooler stage. The percentage power saving is determined which is 5.83% for cooler stage. The maximum power and torque load also proved this project which is the value increased from 39.6 hP to 42.9 hP and from 52.1 Nm to 58.3 Nm at maximum air conditioner. Application of evaporative cooling pad can increase the coefficient of performance and cooling capacity of the vapor compression refrigeration cycle for automotive air conditioner while decreasing its power consumption.
