Reducing Vehicle Auxiliary Loads Using Advanced Thermal Insulation and Window Technologies

Influence of passenger car auxiliaries on pollutant emission factors within the Artemis model

“…-By reducing the thermal load of the vehicle (Türler et al, 2003;Farrington et al, 1998Farrington et al, , 1999 through the use of advanced glazing which reduces the transmission of infrared solar radiation.…”

Thermal Interaction Between a Human Body and a Vehicle Cabin

“…For example, these surfaces are windows on the shaded side of the cab. Based on very few available sources, it is assumed here that the cab of a stationary vehicle has U value of around 10 W/m 2 K (Türler, 2003;Karlsson, 2007;Tavast, 2007;Grossmann, 2010). Consequently, the estimated heat flux through the cab wall (qk) would be around 40 W/m 2 for the difference between the outside and the inside air temperature of (30 -26)°C = 4°.…”

“…In this example, the calculated glass temperatures will be around 30°C and 50°C, for clear and tinted glass respectively. In comparison to solar absorbing glass, a better but also a more expensive solution is the infra-red reflective glass that rejects almost a half of the solar radiation energy with less obstruction of visible light transmission (Bohm, 2002;Türler, 2003;Saint-Gobain, 2003). This kind of glass is used in automotive applications.…”

Investigation on the Temporal Surface Thermal Conditions for Thermal Comfort Researches Inside A Vehicle Cabin Under Summer Season Climate

“…Many studies have considered the vehicle cabin as a potential approach to reduce ancillary load and improve fuel economy by decrease the its surface temperature. Turler al et [10] experimental studied the effect of using advanced thermal insulation material and window technologies on reducing vehicle auxiliary loads, the test results indicated that the retrofitted vehicle warm up under soak conditions was delayed compared to a factory vehicle. In Hoke and Greiner's study [11], experiments and numerical simulations were conducted to determine the effect of paint properties on the thermal load present and the resulting temperatures during vehicle soak.…”
