Optimizing Volvo Bus Air Conditioning System Design With Hap Technology

Abstract

Transportation is one the need of human being, which is existing since the evolution of
mankind. Earlier it was fulfilled by using animals, later by bus. Hence requirement of comfort is utmost
required during transportation. Today, the field if air conditioning design is more technologically
challenging than ever before. While design innovations and product improvements promise sleeker, more
versatile, more powerful and more energy – efficient air conditioners, the challenge today lies identifying
the most appropriate product, or mix of products, for the application at hand. Indeed, today the emphasis
is no more on understanding air conditioning ‘products’ but on creating ‘solutions’ and not just
solutions, but ‘customized solutions’ that suit specific cooling need of specific business and
establishments. The consultant or designer who understands the dynamics of those clients’ business is
more likely to offer better long term cooling solutions than who does not. Every air conditioning
application has its own special ‘needs’ and provided its own challenges. Airports, hotels, shopping
malls, office complexes and banks need uniform comfort cooling in every corner of their sprawling
spaces and activities involving computers, electronics, aircraft products, precision manufacturing,
communication networks and operation in hospitals, infect many areas of programming will come to a
halt, so air conditioning is no longer a luxury but an essential part of modern living. In the present
project the design of air conditioning is done for a Volvo bus, by considering the various parameters and
by using Hourly Analysis Program to obtain efficient heat load calculation in order to get reliable and
sustainable heat load. At the completion of the project the knowledge regarding designing the air
conditioning of any automobile is gained.
