Validation of HVAC System Simulation for Armored Vehicle
Abstract
This paper presented a validation of heat ventilation and air condition (HVAC) system computational simulation
for armored vehicle. The HVAC Design of the prototype is firstly started with the simulation of flow ventilation supplied
from evaporator to study and understand the flow behavior. After production prototype had been finished, the experiment
was conducted to validate the accuracy of the simulation. It is found that simulation accuracy is depended on the setting up
all of factors that influence the temperature and the simulation time period. For each case of study, the simulation with the
different computational time is dependent on the physics of interest and parameters to be studied. For the optimal
temperature consideration, the steady state condition was considered. Therefore, selecting CFD simulation is very important
for the HVAC simulation.
