Abstract
This paper describes the need for dynamic (transient) simulation of automotive air conditioning systems, the reasons why such simulations are challenging, and the applicability of a general purpose off-the-shelf thermohydraulic analyzer to answer such challenges.
An overview of modeling methods for the basic components are presented, along with relevant approximations and their effect on speed and accuracy of the results.
