Increasing EDV Range through Intelligent Cabin Air Handling Strategies: Annual Progress Report

“…An air-conditioner (AC) system for a motor vehicle cab has the disadvantage that it is the largest power consumer, excluding the vehicle propulsion system. The power consumption of the AC in small tractors can reach 10-100% of the actual engine power and the highest values occur during the engine idling (Ruzic D., 2018;Leighton & Ruth, 2016).…”

Nowadays, cooling the air by means of climate maintenance systems is achieved, in most cases, using installations based on freon or other substances that cause pollution. Taking into account the fact that the EEC standards and regulations increase the emphasis on ensuring the quality, labour safety, health and environment, finding a solution for air conditioners that do not use a substance that causes pollution, has become a necessity. As a great part of farming work is done in the warmest periods of the year, temperatures being frequently over 35oC, it is necessary to equip the agricultural machines with air conditioners in order to achieve a thermic comfort in the cab. For this purpose, an air conditioner based on the process of water evaporation was designed, made and tested. The installation is able to cool the air that enters into the cab through the evaporation process that takes place in the special filling, with an efficiency of the mixing process more than 90%. Air passing sections are calculated so that they can assure both the quantity needed for climate maintenance in the cab (about 3.5 - 4 m3/min) and the relative speed between air and water in the filling, in order for the evaporation process to be conducted in the best conditions that were theoretical established.
