LMS Imagine.Lab Passenger Comfort helps to study thermal interactions between the air conditioning (AC) system, the cooling system and the cabin or vehicle interior. Engineers can evaluate and control the cabin cool down or heating processes (air temperature and humidity), as well as study the integration of additional heaters and their influence on passenger comfort, especially when using high efficiency engines with low thermal losses.
Engineers can study the impact of exterior conditions and technological choices on the air temperatures and humidity within the cabin.
The different analysis capabilities of the platform help the user thoroughly study the behavior of the entire system according to heating strategies and drive cycles under specific operating conditions. With LMS Imagine.Lab Passenger Comfort, it is possible to accurately size components (heater core, evaporators, ducts, fans/blowers), test control strategies (AC compressor displacement, recycling modes, automatic AC control, control of blowers and fan rotary speeds) and analyze innovative air-conditioning architecture.
