Air Conditioning System이 차량 모드 주행 연비에 미치는 영향 연구

Fuel efficiency is the one of the major issues in the aspect of energy. environment. As customers desire more comfortable vehicles, increases of accessory traction forces are necessary. Air conditioning system (ACS) consumes the biggest traction forces among accessories, especially during summer. This means ACS is the primary object deteriorating fuel economy among accessories. Since direct measurement of traction force and fuel consumption in practical vehicle is difficulties, comparison analyses are taken between vehicle with ACS working and without ACS. For this comparison. real time measurements are carried out to know ACS traction force and fuel consumption. As a result of the comparison, a vehicle without ACS operation was 15.92% superior to a vehicle with ACS operating. It could be used as a fundamental material for improvement ACS for better fuel efficiency.
